The Thinning (2016)
7/10
Surprisingly above average.
26 October 2016
Watching this on YouTube Red, I was not expecting the level of enjoyment that I had through viewing this film. While I noticed some plot holes (which I can't reveal due to Spoilers) they were not large enough to be obvious to the casual viewer. Cast and Acting: I was surprised by the acting capabilities of Logan Paul, very surprised. while I was expecting this movie to flunk and for Logan to be eye-candy, he seemed to be able to carry his role as the co-protagonist with Peyton List. Some of he acting did make me smirk at its questionability, however, these moments were generally short lived and I feel the cast were quite good. Plot: While the idea of post apocalyptic stories involving teens has been a recent cliché, I feel this production changed it up a bit. The idea of executing kids in first grade was quite a brutal idea (for me) as the lightness of it during the film.

Summary: Despite the plot holes, I quite enjoyed this movie, and am happy to recommend it to other people.
