I had a very unbiased opinion because I haven’t seen the original,
I enjoyed it, the cinematics where shot beautifully, the soundtracks where a brilliant choice for the style of the movie however the acting from FKA twigs was quite poor, and because of this there was no chemistry between the 2 characters which is the main plot of the movie. The first hour I was struggling to maintain concentration, their relationship had no sense of time, it could have happened over a week a day a month, couldn’t tell, it was just sex sex sex sex, that’s not love, that’s lust. Not convincing at all.
Bill skarsgards acting again, was phenomenal and such a brilliant casting and I loved the tattoo inspirations from Lil Peep. He was extremely dark and convincing.
The fight scenes where very powerful, unlike other movies which glamorise and downplays the goriness that comes with violence, the violence in the crow felt very realistic. The gun shots where super loud compared to the rest of the movie which made it feel as though I was there, in the film.
The ending again felt super rushed and unfinished which felt super disappointing coming right after a huge fight scene, hence the 3 stars. Over all the characters introduction felt super rushed and their love for eachother wasn’t convincing either. I believe if they chose a different actress with more background in acting and if they had extended the movie for an extra hour this movie would have been a lot more successful.
