The Calling (I) (2014)
1/10
Utter garbage
20 August 2014
It's not a thriller, because it fails to thrill. It's not a detective story, because killer is presented in the very beginning. I doubt this can even be called a "movie". Nothing really moves in it.

Don't actually understand what the director was trying to say with all that. Susan Sarandon's alcohol and drug addicted character has zero appeal, and minor (every other) characters offer much less. Heyerdahl basically reprises his role of "manic preacher" Swede from Hell on Wheels. I wonder if this is the one and only line he is capable of doing.

Let the critics toss their usual "capturing, fascinating, well-made" and other pretentious and ultimately meaningless BS. I don't even want to mention ridiculous technical blunders. The movie is just boring, trivial and daft. Can't really imagine a person who would like this. Even if you are huge fan of Sarandon obviously you can find better instances of her brilliance.

Don't waste your time on this rubbish.
