Vészjelzés

The film literally oozes an attempt to get closer to Jordan Peele's directorial style, with scene transitions, the musical score or even typical Peele shots, but the result is half-baked, unfinished and with many holes. I guess it's true that the less you know about the film the better, so I'd rather not spoil anything and just say that it's a clever combination of mystery and thriller that's both unremarkable and fun to watch, and although it's a pretty half-baked piece, it's definitely an interesting film that everyone should see. All that being said, this doesn't change the fact that for a director's debut, this is a damn fine, even excellent, piece of work in this regard. (2024.09.19)

Yes, you will remember a few of the older films when you watch this. No, there's not much more to it than you would expect after reading the synopsis. But this is a thriller with perfect craftsmanship, visually appealing and solidly acted, and it can be realistically suspenseful, which is no small feat. I honestly got so into the film in the cinema that I for a moment I toyed with the idea of giving it a full score; it's the kind of film where the immediate experience is significantly higher than when you're thinking about it. The weak point is the vaguely explained rules of "something" that I can't mention without spoilers, especially given the epilogue (very unnecessary for me). (2024.08.25)
