Prank (2013)
A funny, gripping, and entertaining film
It's hard for me to sit through most independent films because they either look awful or are boring. Or worse, both. I understand that due to the lack of a big budget, an indie film won't look slick like the Hollywood films we are used to. But there is no reason for being boring--it's entertainment!! With that being said, this film is neither. Gripping and fast, with clever dialogue, it moves at a pace that forces you to pay attention. The premise is these two friends video taping themselves while trying to get back at their bully. And then it all goes to hell. You will not expect how it all ends. You think it's going to go one way and then it yanks you in the other, again and again. And as dark as the story is, there are some extremely funny moments. I really liked this film because it was funny, entertaining, and gripping. The phenomenal acting by the cast is also worth noting as we've all witnessed how bad acting can wreck a good story. My expectations of this film were absolutely exceeded. I wasn't sure I wanted to attend when I was invited to the premiere screening but I'm glad I went! The best part is, it's one of those films that keep you thinking about the themes of the film, the motivations of the characters, and the questions it raises after you've walked out of the theater.
