A Vigilante (2018)
7/10
Outstanding performances, terrible writing.
2 June 2019
I get that this is writer and director Sarah Daggar-Nickson 4th film-making rodeo, but the mistakes made in this film could have easily been avoided, and thus made this film great, instead of just ok. Major plot issues, timeline confusion, dragged out scenes, terrible editing and a crazy slow pace. The 91 min length felt like 3 hours. I realize her previous films were shorts, but this one also may as well been, had it been edited down and paced appropriately. Stellar performance from Olivia Wilde - which is the only reason I didn't give up on this film half way in, as well from the rest of the cast. The score was also great and very fitting. The camera work and cinematography were good, but I really wish a seasoned writer edited the screenplay to make this film great. Nevertheless, a decent story that deserves my generous 7/10 - primarily due to Wilde's performance.
