Blu-ray review for 'Collision'

The storytelling in "Collision" is reminiscent of a compact, less fantastical version of "Lost." Both feature a group of disparate strangers thrown together by a spectacular crash, and both use flashbacks to reveal surprisingly dark, tortured secrets about each of the characters. (Well, except for the dastardly Omar; he’s pretty much the scumbag you think he is.)

The problem, ultimately, is writer/director David Marconi doesn’t seem to trust his own storytelling chops in creating a handful of independently compelling characters. As a result, he strains to connect some of the backstories.

Special features include interviews with Marconi and the cast. Click below for our full review.

I think in general they intersected well. The only thing I didn't get was from where the hitwoman in the souk comes and with whom she was aligned. That just seemed to come out of nowhere and didn't seem to have an explanation.🐭
