Salvage (2006)
3/10
Not helping our suspension of disbelief.
18 September 2018
The biggest problem with this movie isn't the bad acting nor its small budget. Its the complete lack of realism in the characters behavior. Even if the movie could use its concept as an excuse for the lack of realism, you can't surrender to it. The complete lack of consistency in the characters choices of actions and dialogs makes it impossible. Did I mention the acting? Its really not helping. Its not horrible but it isn't good eider and you simply can't believe in the characters. They come off as very one dimensional. I don't know about you but unless its the kind of movie that doesn't take itself seriously (which isn't the case here), I can't dumb myself down enough to allow myself to believe in a film that lacks so much in character depth, realism and consistency. Another film's big problem is its predictability. The concept is one we've seen so many times before and despite its very small personal twist, isn't used in a way that you can't see where the movie's going almost from the start. Its not unwatchable but it took some effort to pull through.
