Acceleration (2019)
6/10
Opportunity missed with...

...terrible screenplay and/or editing. I'm not sure why this film needed two directors, but it certainly needed a better screenplay. There are so many plot holes and technical issues with the writing, I'm still trying to figure out many elements of many scenes. There is no excuse for seasoned writers/director/producers Michael Merino and Daniel Zirilli to let this convoluted story go to action.

Directing and cinematography however were on point. The all-star B cast were actually decent, but the annoyingly excessive eye-liner on Natalie Burns kept confusing me with in thinking they cast Criss Angel. The usually annoying and overbearing score in these type of films was actually adequate.

Overall I was actually impressed - not going into this film expecting much, however, had the film been edited properly so there were no questions left to ask, and/or the final script written as such, this film would've been one of the better B-films this year. Sadly it missed the mark, and thus a 6/10 from me.
