Intermedio (2005)
5/10
Not so good
11 May 2005
I figured that this movie would be pretty bad, just from looking at the box. But I like to take risks on occasion with films. Sometimes, risks pay off. In this case, I was right. First some good things: There was some pretty nice cinematography and some of the effects were pretty good. The old man was at time intense enough to pull off his role. Cerina Vincent and Furlong were okay, but everything seemed so rushed.

I think that the script was pretty bad, but with a different script and a similar setting, the director could have made a decent film. I didn't flat out hate any of the characters with the exception of Gen's boyfriend. Back to my main complaint: this is a rush job. It's one thing to make a low budget movie. It's completely another matter to seemingly film everything in one take, despite glaring problems with the takes. At times, characters who are supposed to be in great discomfort fall out of character and banter back and forth with other characters (okay, this actually happens quite frequently). Some of the effects do not hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny, and the story just rambles and rambles. I don't think it's worth watching unless you really love the genre, whatever genre that might be.
