Review of Incontrol

If you are after a thought provoking film this may be good view. If you are after action or flashy scifi avoid. It made me think so deeply that I rated it 6/10 after viewing then thought it through again and raised it to 7/10. As I read a quick summary of plot I was expecting what I got and it delivered. The film is quite slow moving hence my initial 6/10. But on review I appreciate this was intentional by the film makers to draw you into the story. I had my suspicions on how the movie would conclude but certainly not completely and more than enough to think back through the film for characters actions and intentions. It certainly made you consider how you would react to being within a group of people who could control the minds of others. Made you wonder whether they had only performed actions in control of people, who are unaware they are being controlled, that the people would normally do anyway and to what extent they could push the moral boundaries of what they would do themselves. For me this was explained at the conclusion sufficiently though I can understand why this has left some viewers confused and feeling that they needed more explained at the end. For this movie to fully explain what exactly was going on it would have required to double it running time. And it would also ruined parts of it conclusion as they were the main things to be focused on from the beginning. So yes there is an element of mystery to it. The fact I enjoyed watching it, liked the central and for want of a better words emotional element, then left me wondering about the unexplained and imagining possible explanations made it a very good experience. It is the type of movie that is hard to write a review for as I always do so for anyone who reads this has or has not seen so try to give away too much details of the plot. So I hope those who have viewed the film see where I am coming from in my thoughts of the film and give enough, just, information for those who are considering watching it.

Deep thinking, pun intended, thought proving experience.
