This movie is underrated. Love this film - it's inspirational with great heart. I'm a long time fan of Mika Boorem and really enjoyed seeing her in this role. I thought everyone did a great job. This film is overall a really scenic enjoyable film with great directing and acting.
Hollywood.Con (2021)
Mika Boorem shows her immemse talent in front of and behind the camera
Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021
Mika Boorem is probably best known as a child actor in films The Patriot and Along Came a Spider as an huge talent with a bright future... twenty years ago. Now, she's fully grown and has evolved into a triple threat in her feature debut as writer and director, while this time being the star of the show.
Her time in Hollywood has paid off as she has learned the art of directing and created a memorable piece that is a throwback to the adventure films of the 80s and 90s, yet staying fresh to today's age in 2021. Already showing experience beyond her directing filmography, she shows an understanding of the craft and it's quite obvious she is not "directing just to direct" but directing because she is qualified and skilled.
The story itself is a fun adventure with scenic locations, solid acting (especially from Mika herself), and a plot that keeps you guessing. The best part of the whole film is seeing the directing-producing combo of Mika and her real life father, portray the same (fictional) relationship on screen. Their close-knit relationship is evident and comes through on screen.
Mika has shown a glimpse of what she can do and her talent will lend her to bigger and better opportunities in the future, but she has shown much more understanding than most in her directing debut. I can't wait to see what the future holds and Hollywood.con is a fun family film that is needed in a genre that isn't produced much anymore. I highly recommend checking it out before Mika becomes a household name.
