Review of Five

Five (1951)
5/10
Disappointing sci-fi drama
29 April 2003
When I went to see this film, I didn't expect much of it but what I've got was even less. The film was written and directed by cult director-writer Arch Oboler, who had been known in US mostly for his work on radio where during the 1930s he made radio programs written by himself where the science fiction was the main theme, something similar to Orson Welles's "War of the Worlds" though they enjoyed much less popularity. "Five" is a story of five people that managed to survive after all life on earth was destroyed as a result of a nuclear war. Little about the story and acting in the film is particularly interesting, in fact I found it awfully boring and uninteresting. 5/10
