Come and Find Me

Aaron Paul plays a man whose girlfriend disappears without a trace, and he becomes obsessed with finding her, and discovers a lot about her he never knew.

It's one of those double edge titles. As Paul goes on the journey to look for his girl we flash back and forth from past to present, taking a look at how these two met and fell in love, but you realize Aaron's character never really knew her, so he's doing more than just finding her physically, as it truly is a journey unraveling the complex world she refused to share with him.

Directed by Zack Whedon the brother of Joss Whedon (Guy who created Buffy, the Vampire Slayer), I feel certain simulates in their story telling. I don't want to get into it as it might spoil the movie, but if you are a fan of the type of stories Joss likes to tell than you'll enjoy Zack's story.

It's somewhat a crime drama leaning towards the drama part more often, with a focus on Aaron Paul that puts his leading man capabilities to the test. Plus it's very romantic not just in the story told but how it's implemented.

Very watchable

This was a good movie that could have been an excellent movie. The character David did things that other movies make fun of, like you need a knife but pick up the banana type things. I liked the actors, but I would like to have been sitting at the table when this was being written and saying, "O.K...that just wouldn't happen. Nobody would do that."

The description of the movie sounded very interesting to me and I was excited to watch. I was intrigued for the first 1/3 of the movie or so, but then things started to not make sense and get a bit far fetched. I still stuck with it, wanting to like it. However, the movie seemed to drag on and there were things in the second half and the end that didn't seem to fully make sense to me. 6/10.

This film tells the story of a man, whose girlfriend goes missing all of a sudden. He decides to look for her, using some mysterious photographs that his girlfriend left behind. As he digs deeper, he finds that the truth gets further away.

"Come and Find Me" starts off promising, as the mystery surrounding the girlfriend's disappearance captures me. Towards the middle of the film, the plot gets confusing. The supposed government agent is clearly phoney, but there is little explanation as to what really is going on. The ending just gets me confused even though I rewatched relevant parts of the film, and I still don't understand what exactly leads to the disappearance and the role of the films are.

Romantic-Thriller from First Time Director Zack Whedon Featuring Aaron Paul and Annabelle Wallis. It is a Low-Budget, Barely Released Disappointment that gets Everything about Half-Right.

The Thriller Aspects, a Missing Girlfriend involved in Mysterious Goings On who Left the Pining Paul without a Note, is a Setup that is Classical and Consuming. There is a McGuffin (role of film), Gang Members, Intriguing Photographs of Unidentified, Creepy Looking Types, and so forth.

This is a Fine Beginning but as Things Unfold the Director Decides (not advisable) to Portray the Events with Equal amounts of Present Time and Flashbacks. When Things get Tense and Scary the Viewer is Immediately Time Shifted to the Past to Solidify Their Relationship.

After the First Few times this happens it becomes Tedious, Repetitive, and Stops the Films Momentum Cold. It is done with a Dull Regularity and the Story has to Gain Suspense all over again. This is Deadly to the Drama at hand. It Weakens the Movie as it Requires the Reinforcement of already Enforced Dangers.

So it's a Movie of Two Competing and Separate Stories. The Movie is Long at almost 2 Hours and it probably would have Worked Better if the Love Story was Cut by Half and the Flashback Angle was Abandon for a more Linear Approach.

Worth a Watch but be Prepared for a Start and Stop Feel that is Clunky and keeps this from being Less than it Should. All the Ingredients are here for a Good Thriller but the Awkward Mixing Misfires.
