Element (I) (2016)
3/10
Mostly confusing but the concept was great

I knew about ELEMENT only because it's one of the many movies Michael Ironside has made to date and with its score of 3,3 but only 190 ratings it will never make the Bottom 100 but since I hope one day to finish all of Ironside's movies I saw it anyway and when I saw it I had to agree with the two reviewers that gave it 2s (the other review has a 10 so it shouldn't be trusted).

North Maxfield is a financial advisor that is recently widowed and would love to have one last meeting with his dead wife for reshaping his past so he goes to Doctor Sarah Carson who is specialized in hypnosis and would make Maxfield go in contact with the soul of his dead wife. At the same time his boss Joe (Ironside) suspects something about North and he'll try his best to avoid that North is killed (eventually sacrificing himself towards the end).

The main problem with the movie is the pace. At the beginning it was slow and as it progressed it went kinda better but it was still boring and confusing. There were some moments tho especially the ones provided by Ironside and the ones where North is in connection with the spirit of his dead wife. But for the rest, it was so dull and confusing that it looked like the director knew it was a bad movie and let it go with its badness.

Overall, one of those movies that will make you soon go to bed when it's over for how much is boring. Trust me, it happened to me when I saw it last August so this says a lot!
