I Just Saw This

This was not a movie I was really interested in seeing. Four guys trapped in a submersible bell vehicle during a storm. Sounded like it would be boring. In truth, it wasn't the type of genre I'm interested in. However, they did a very good job.

The acting was awesome, and it seemed realistic as to how people would behave in such a situation. The production value was good, as was the cinematography. It didn't look cheap or CGI to death. The movie did tend to have a claustrophobic feel, as a real life situation would.

There is nudity. The young man is dreaming or having a hallucination, and a girl swims up to him, and she's totally naked, and you see everything.

I recommend this movie. I gave it a 7-star rating. I doubt I'll watch it again, but it was surprising that they did such a good job on the movie.

Saw Pressure yesterday at Empire Leicester Square. Yet again my Matthew Goode obsession led me to see a film that ordinarily I would never watch. I can get all fangirly about him - but he truly is a bloody good actor. No plot spoilers. It was low budget, bleak subject matter film with flaws - but it kept me involved all the way through. Matthew’s performance was terrific. He wrung every bit of emotion out of the script and on to the screen. He went through so many emotional states - mostly in extreme close up - and he made me believe it all. His scenes when he realised he might not see his wife and children again and his reading of his letter to his wife towards the end had me choked up (still choked up thinking about it). The film isn’t the greatest - definitely not a date movie - but it is worth watching for his performance. He did the absolute best he could with the script he was given - so goode for him. It’s available on I tunes in the UK - but seeing it on the bigger screen is really so much better (actually it was only about 6 x 4 metres! Smallest screen in the theatre.) .

Told you I was a fangirl - I've completely ignored the other excellent performances in this film.

If people are interested there are some interview links on a separate thread.
