Review of Quiz

Quiz (2012)
3/10
Quite disappointing
1 September 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Dick Maas is not known for his masterpieces, instead most of them are trash and Quiz... well... it's quite disappointing. Pity as it is, the story itself is promising: A quiz-show presenter is confronted by a stranger in a restaurant while waiting for his wife and daughter who a trapped in traffic due to an unexplained malfunctioning car. Soon it seems that the stranger knows more about the presenters family then taken for granted...

The problem with this movie is that Maas apparently does not know what kind of movie he wants to make. For a thriller it is not exciting enough and the bad written dialogs are not making things better. The camera-work is sloppy and the music, which Maas makes as well, is the same as in all his movies; terrible. Some of the actors, especially the Italian waiter, are acting below average and it remains a mystery why Maas didn't cast an Italian actor in the first place.

Hopefully Maas will do better next time. In this case it's a missed chance.
