Recalled

I wasted almost 2hrs of my precious time watching this nonsense. The story is so boring and uninteresting. The director did a very horrible job and the actors (especially the main female character) are just amateurs. This movie is nothing to write home about.

I registered to IMDB just to leave a 10* review for this movie. Heartbreaking... Thrilling... Amazing cast... Brilliant performances... Credit goes to the entire team...story, screenplay, direction (debut!), acting, editing, sound...and so on. Kudos! Must watch! Brace yourselves for crying profusely (that's what happened with me!)

First off, this isn't a terrible movie but it's not going to win any awards. The story is somewhat muddled - it's not exactly difficult to follow but the overall quality of the movie is such that you might find your attention drifting, at at which point it will become confusing. At least that was my experience. It's very much like any forgettable Hollywood whodunnit thriller with a couple of twists along the way. Passable acting, passable writing, but totally unremarkable. The kind of movie I would never normally bother to review. What led me to review this movie is the disparity between my experience of it and the apparent audience average on IMDb. It's flooded with 10/10 reviews but when you read them, something doesn't add up. The ratings are unevenly distributed with hugely more 10s than anything else and the reviews are littered with repetitive language that just doesn't mesh with the experience of watching the movie. A lot of the reviews and ratings are clearly disingenuous. This probably isn't a new phenomenon on IMDb but as a longtime user of the site it's the first time I feel like I've been properly duped into watching a movie on the back of a manipulated rating. Prepare to be underwhelmed.
