Shark Bait (2022)
Didn't merged the slasher with the survivalist very well
The actors, when they needed to show tenacity they felt like empty ballistic dummies and vice versa. One dead in particular that it's meant to be partly for fun to up the ante ends up feeling very distasteful for this very reason.
The final also girl never really sells the transition from regular girl to survivalist. To the detriment of scenes like the final chase.
The digital shark is rough and can tell why it was use so sporadically, but the last scene, when it looked the worse, the film could had done without. The film had already had a fake ending where the characters think they're finally safe just to be put back in danger. The film didn't need another. And as much as I would like to blame that on the script, it does feel like something a good director could had easily remove. So I have to blame him for that. A shame cause this director clearly shows he's talented.
Perhaps too restricted by budget, time, and production to really put together a vision with the hand they had dealt him.
I still wouldn't mind if it's him who Adkins partners up if he ever gets a big budget for a film.
Resistance (2020)
Hahahaha, from all the Eisenberg vehicles they could have chosen did they seriously settle at mime?
Man is this a train-wreck, the result from a combination of a mediocre script and a really hilariously bad miscast. This movie is boring when it tries to be funny and hilarious when it tries to be serious. It's not all Eisenberg's fault, he's a good actor on the 10% of gigs he's actually suited for, but a teenage mime(lol) its not one of those. Again the script is also pretty mediocre, if this where the exact same movie, but with a foreign production and french actors with an adequate lead it would probably win some local prizes at French film festivals but nothing more.
