Review of A Lonely Place to Die

Interest, expectation, hope... a lot of things died together watching this. Pretty crowded by the end.

Good start and then crashed on the first turn.

Cliffhanger that turned into a nosedive.

Straight into the trash heap.

The actors were good. The story and setting were good too. Initially.

Then just at the first stirring of interest, the shooting started.

And the shooting match ended right there.

Guys go back and forth between being crack shots and drunk monkeys. All in the space of a few seconds no less.

Was still hanging on by the fingernails to the hope that it would recover.

But no, they shifted the scene to some town. With some cut-rate version of the Brazilian carnival providing the backdrop for the ending.

Hope plunged to it's death, alongside interest and expectation, not to mention assorted heroes and villains.

Literally rained bodies from start to end.

Yes, we get it.

Got it after the first drop or ten.

Was inspired to jump myself but fortunately was already at ground level.

They could have done something with this but they clearly had no idea of what to do beyond establishing the concept.

Melissa battled manfully but was badly let down by the writing.

Wish them well. Maybe the next foray will be better thought out.

Thank you.
