Security

Nice idea and well chosen site to develop it: a small coastal town during winter time. Acting is good too, as well as filmography which I've found excellent. There are a couple of things which I've found inconsistent thus I gave it a 7 and not an 8.

A new Italian mystery on Netflix. After the assault of a young woman in their seaside town, a security expert and his family become caught in a powerful wave of secrets and lies. The first 50 minutes introduced many characters that had each of their own story. Even though it felt like the story was meandering for a long time, I hoped that these elements would converge and had significant meaning. Well some of them did. Recently I have watched Oddtaxi, which was one of the most well-written anime that I have watched in terms of bringing all the plots details together. For this movie, I was only bored during the first 50 minutes, and I was engaged for the rest of the 2 hour runtime. This was because the main mystery itself had sufficient amount of buildup and made sense. However, thinking back, I realized there were many elements that didn't add anything to the story. Some notable ones were the security expert's insomnia, his wife's and daughter's stories. They pretty much only extended the runtime. Even more, the plot revolved around the security system in this affluent town that had multiple cameras in people's house to watch for burglars and the 'undesirables'. The movie tried to have a message about this, and it was such nonsense and not justified at all. Overall, a weak script that didn't tie all parts together. 5.5/10.

What stereotypes are you looking for? You'll probably find them all here: the soft-hearted protagonist with a hard shell, the cunning politician, the wicked wealthy, the spoiled brat teenager, the cool and rebellious writer, the helpless woman, the list goes on.

Wandering story moving so slowly that one can barely stay attentive. But ears will burn with these elitists' foul language that includes blasphemy. Wish I had back the hour I spent giving this a chance.
