Reviews
Mob Land (2023)
Comical amateurish filmmaking
The filmmakers could have got better results from a teenager using their iPhone. The lighting is wrong, the white balance is wrong, the colour saturation is wrong. Who decided that it would be a good idea to have the camera bouncing around throughout the movie? It is an idiotic idea. Put the camera on a tripod! Better still, they invented something called the Steadicam about 50 years ago. Could they not have borrowed one of these from someone?
It is as if they tried to make the movie as unappealing as possible, and as difficult to watch as possible. The awful ighting, childish camerawork, and over-used colour filters are a constant distraction for the viewer. Fortunately, there was little, in the way of substance or quality, to be distracted from.
This is everything that is wrong in Hollywood these days. In a desperate attempt to stand out, filmmakers will resort to the most absurd gimmicks, because they don't have the basic ingredients required for a successful movie: A good story, intriguing characters and a powerful script.
Don't waste your time on this one!
