Room 0 (2024)
Some direct feedback with high hopes for a sequel
Natalya Wood played the main character decently enough, although I felt like she could have been more relatable. Her raw emotions definitely portrayed a protagonist who struggles with the life choices she has made to date, but I expected to see her in a more chaotic state since she was so young and unfamiliar with the tech she was tasked with carrying.
Throughout the story, I was often left wondering how this young woman got involved with mobsters in the first place (was it the influence from her useless boyfriend, or was the mobster who hired her to steal it paying her sister's hospital bills?), and the film dragged on a bit when it came to some of the texting scenes and iterations of the loop. Although Frank's sinister nature was very believable when he began to describe how he tracked down the young woman's family, I sometimes struggled with the authenticity of the portrayal of some of the other people she spoke to over the phone.
Overall though, Room 0 has the potential to become the first of a series of films that continue to explore the real-world implications and consequences of missing the moments that matter most to us throughout the time we have as human beings on this Earth.
