Submerged review

Posted : 8 years ago on 7 May 2016 04:51

I found this on Netflix while roaming around. The plot sounded interesting enough. I also can't complain about some of the cast here. I have seen a few Steven C. Miller directed films. Extraction (an action film of his) was the only one I didn't like at all. Scott Milam wrote the remake of Mother's Day (the horror one) which I highly enjoyed. So I'm expecting to find some enjoyment with this one. It's pretty interesting that they started this in the thick of it all. The mystery of everything really draws you in. Of course we get story through flashbacks. I'm kind of confused as to what Matt is to the others. Is that part of the mystery? Hmm I was skeptical of the flashbacks, but now I see they are quite useful and vital. Okay it makes total sense who he is now. The flashbacks and what is going on in the present are two completely different genres. In the flashbacks you have something of a drama. In the present you have a thriller. I did not expect that twist of events to happen. This kind of reminds of another movie with people stuck in a limo. It was quite a bit different, but there were accusations and secrets just like this. I do like that the flashbacks are timed in a way that makes sense as well as relate to what is happening with the current situation. Oh come on don't get all cliche on me now! What the hell is he like freaking Jason Bourne or something haha? I only have one other question which I'm sure will be answered. Okay I definitely was expecting that! Well that however I saw coming. It reminded me of the twist from Scream. I mean the guy even sort of looks like Skeet Ulrich. Oh wow I had a feeling from the very beginning of that too! This becoming predictable kind of brought it all down for me. Lol that made me laugh since I immediately thought of the Dear Sister Parody skit from years back. It was a decent watch. The predictability was disappointing and it was at times cheesy. If it weren't for that I may have rated it higher.
