FOE IS A NO GO
23 December 2023
This is not even close to being a good film. What happened to Garth Davis, Lion was such a beautiful - almost perfect film, then there was that terrible Mary Magdelene film and now this.

This concept was interesting but very poorly executed, the screenwriting was contrived babble and didn't know where it was a western or sci-fi film, I think the idea was better than the screenplay. Look with a descent budget anyone can have great actors, beautiful cinematography and all the required technical capabilities. But with an indie-film you have none of that so you really on telling a good damn story, this was so hard to watch as it was sooooooo boring, slow paced, contrived drivel that tried to be unique with mixing genres but failed miserably. I wanted to like it so much, love you Garth but this was a no -go. Actors impeccable, all the photography and locations fantastic. It's an American film with the usual misses and fails of an Australian production. I think this was just a paycheck for everyone because this film would be hard to get a general audience to watch. Sorry Garth I'm not biting - go and watch Lion and bring your tissues because Lion is pure cinema with real emotion and has everything a great story should have.
