IR Film Review: THE DRAFT! [Shudder]
"The Draft!" [Shudder] which in many ways once its concept comes into play is quite inventive, if not a little on the nose. The film follows five college kids who comes out to what seems more like an abandoned villa in a jungle looking for haunted elements. The key here is that there becomes an awareness, which is maybe not quite given its due possibility with anticipation until the very last minute but it does speak to how the language, even in lower budget filmmaking, has evolved...with the right writing, even in a global setting.
IR Film Review: MONKEY MAN [Universal]
"Monkey Man" in certain ways wants to be the second coming of "John Wick" but from an Indian point of view. While what star/director Dev Patel does is admirable and his heart is fully in it, the movie doesn't truly hit its stride until the last 1/4 of the film.
