I'm aware that a lot of people disliked this movie, but I didn't. The acting is incredible, specially from Josh Charles and Avan Jogia. The plot has its problems, but in most of the time the storyline is coherent. There are some details of the film that end up being confusing, I agree, but the tension that is built all the way through is great and makes up for it. Sometimes the story reminded me of 1991's "Cape Fear", even thought "The Drowning" isn't that scary or violent. All in all, I consider "The Drowning" to be a nice and entertaining movie, which is worth a watch.
Well, what I'm about to say has probably been said by a thousand of people out there, but I'm giving my two cents to it anyway. Last saturday I had a date and we decided, in the end of the night, to watch "Saw 3d", since we knew there was a new "Saw" out there in the theaters, so nothing better than remembering how it all (supposedly) ended. Gruesomenesses apart, the film has a quickly pacing, so we're given entertaining scenes all the time. There is no time to rest-- unless to rest in peace, if you agree with me that TOO MANY people die in this horror story! Also, I can't remember being able to give my date a kiss after the movie started; you know, there is so much torture, pain and blood that you feel like the world is just a hostile place to live in. However, what bothered me the most about 2010's "Saw 3D" was the level of technology and perfeccionism from Jigsaw. I mean, every creepy machine just worked out perfectly. As people walk, everything just lights up. The machines start. The records play. I simply can't believe that nothing ever fails. Jigsaw must have been an extraordinary (or extreterrestrial) mechanical engineer to ramp up all that stuff. I know that such things have been already noticed in the past 65746705213 movies from this franchise, but, in here, things are TOO visible to be ignored. At least by me. And by my date, who will never invite me for anything after this insane idea of us (or of mine.... I must confess).
