Godsend, expérience interdite

Thriller catastrophiquement déroutant, échouant sur le plan émotionnel, de confiance et thématique. Les auteurs semblent l'avoir tourné de manière improvisée, pas selon un scénario, mais sur la base d'un sujet succinct unilatéral. Le montage final a pu causer suffisamment de dommages. En passant, il y a 4 fins alternatives sur le DVD et à partir de leurs commentaires de réalisateur et de scénariste, il est évident qu'ils ne savent pas eux-mêmes pourquoi ils les ont tournées et laquelle serait la meilleure pour le film.

This project would have benefited from a better and more experienced director – which Nick Hamm definitely is not, his direction is purely technical. From the beginning up to about two thirds through, practically nothing much happens in the film, and all the explanations, including the twist, are rushed at us in the final few minutes, and the film ends surprisingly early.

Godsend is an American production that suffers from having a very bad screenplay, which at first manages to engage the viewer, as there is something mysterious about it. Then it unravels more and more, and you start wondering why actors who are certainly not bad (Kinnear, De Niro) gave the nod to this terrible movie that only makes sense on the surface. (20/01/2020)
