Green Room (2015)
Dull
This is my first review. God this movie is dull. The characters are completely unlikable, and many of the actors don't fit the role at all, especially Patrick Stewart. There is absolutely no suspense, the cinematography is dull and amateurish. What is with all the smooth camera work, slow panning shots and long takes during the 'intense' parts? The film is so dark (not in tone, but visually) and uses ugly, oversaturated green colour grading to give it an edgy vibe, which doesn't work with such poor direction. This movie is all over the place! Also Macon Blair, who played Gabe is completely laughable, he's probably the most miscast person I've ever seen on screen.
Finally the soundtrack is really forgettable. Overall it had a cheap Netflix production feel to it. Maybe if you're the sort of person who doesn't watch suspense movies very often and only sticks with tame mainstream movies, you might find this film groundbreaking. I don't even know why it was rated 18.
