Terry the Tattooed Cyborg

I wasn't expecting much and got even less. The title should have tipped me off at how bad and unimaginative this movie was going to be. It's a rip off of many other movies that did this trope right. The time lines didn't match, making things confusing (if you're paying attention) and some of the story is just...poorly written. A single beat cop caught the killer? With no proof or evidence? Ok cool story. The cop was leaving super obvious clues for the kid who was on to him? C'mon, has the writter ever seen a serial killer movie before? The production was good, but direction of this movie was just bad. The acting was fine. The story had potential, but it fell flat. Also there wasn't one second of this movie that didn't have synthesized music running over every bit of dialogue. Really trying to be Stranger Things mixed with IT, mixed with every bad throwback, 80s, Hardy Boys, wanna be movie ever made. I got through it...but it was painful to watch.

A star for the 2 actors who did a good job acting in this wildly pointless film. Willem Dafoe and Brooklyn Prince did a great job. It's too bad the story was as empty as Hailey's head. I kept waiting for a plot, a point, a story, but it never came. The Hailey character is extremely unlikeable (and as the director was going for) all too real real of a portrait of the trash littering the streets of America. Her scenes with Ashley looked like they were performing at a bad highschool play. A lot of people calling this a masterpiece for some reason. Those people are super "edgy" and "cool" I suppose. A few scenes were completely out of context and lead you to believe it was a set up for something bigger. And in the end, the kids just magically got past the gates at Disney World to go....well, I guess that up for your interpretation. If you enjoy "art film projects" than maybe you'll enjoy this. For me, it's thumbs down. Which is too bad. It had potential.
