Review of The Tangle

The Tangle (2019)
5/10
It had potential
17 October 2021
I enjoyed watching Christopher Soren Kelly, in Infinity Chamber. And I do enjoy watching a good movie that makes me think. This movie did give that to me, to a point. And it had the potential to be a great movie. But it dropped the ball. And seem to make a couple of attempted to recover, but then it would shoot itself in the foot again.

First and foremost. There was too much explaining of what the tangle was and does. When it could have been covered by either a star wars style crawl text. Or a brief video lead up, of the creation and release of the tangle. Showing all the creators rejoicing over it. With a lead up like that, it could have helped show some of the emotional turmoil that Edward was going through. Instead we see Edward wiping something out of his eyes.

When it came to the acting, you either got the film version on a monotone. Or you get the equivalent of a drama queen. So over the top and unnecessary. With Christopher Soren Kelly and Jessica Graham, staring in a number of projects together. You would have expect a much better onscreen chemistry. But it felt similar to a 6th grade play. Where no one wanted to touch a person of the opposite sex.

It is not a completely horrible movie. But it is definitely a film that I will only watch once.
