Review of Discreet

Alex returns to his home town after many years away to discover that the man who abused him as a child is still alive. What follows is a weird, disheveled, and quite unorganized group of scenes that together is supposed to make a coherent movie but instead makes you wonder how the writer was able to convince anyone to sign on to this project. He wants revenge, but then takes quite a long time to enact this revenge. He becomes obsessed with a teenage boy going so far as to break into his home and inhale his presumably dirty underwear and stalking him inside of his home (btw where are his parents?). So now he, a grown man, victim of kidnapping and sexual assault as a kid, is now victimizing a teenage boy. Btw you never find out what happened when the boy found him in his home, it just goes to the next scene. Is the boy ok? Along the way he's stopping off at an adult video store, luring discreet older men to hotel rooms and robbing them, and arguably the most confusing part of this film is his obsession with listening to right wing media on the radio. I mean he's a thief and a creep, why not throw bigot on top of that too. There are several random scenes of an unknown corpse being wrapped in black plastic, zip tied and tossed in a river to float. It doesn't appear to be difficult to find as the lighting gives off the impression that its not too far into the woods and if the last scene is any indication...its right by a highly trafficked bridge. Then there's Mandy and her ASMR randomly juxtaposed in the film that are painful on the ears. I can't for the life of me understand what this movie is meant to be. What was I supposed to learn from this film? I was an hour and 6 minutes into this hour and 19 minute film and I had no idea what the actual plot of this film was.

A complete waste of my time and I wish I had never watched it. If I can protect others from seeing this film with this review then I've done my due diligence and public service for the new year.
