There was an overwhelming sense of getting sucked into the story line in this little Scottish village where everyone knows each other... and each other's business!… Expand

Can't recall any sparkling feature films released under the "Netflix" label ... (However "Bleach" (2018) was OK)

Buena película de suspenso. Son de esas películas que logran hacer sentir al espectador la horrible sensación de tener que cargar con un homicidio todo el tiempo.

Surprised at the high ratings for this. Whether it was or wasn't, it felt as low-budget as it could be, with the dialogue very stifled. Plot has interesting beginning but doesn't lead to anything that meaningful.

Powerful. The consequences that follow an all-too-common instinct to cover one's tracks, as well as going against your sense of right & wrong, seem inevitable and earned by basing every step on very distinct characterizations.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was tricked by the trailer of this film and the good reviews it received. Honestly I questioned myself how it is that it received such good opinions because this original Netlfix film seemed an absolute disappointment since in most of it's running time nothing happens.

I'm being honest nothing ever happens with the exception of the murders that drive this narrative. The story itself, if someone talks to you about it, you will find it interesting. But the way narrative handles things and consequent events is just terrible because the suspense and tension are some of the worst I've seen in a film. I say this because as the minutes pass you don't feel that something is happening, you don't feel that the characters are being caught because in one way or another the villagers in the town where they committed the crime always seem to know more than the main characters but they never seem to be sure of what they know and thereby to act accordingly.

This is how the whole film is handled until we reach the final point where the dramatic knot unfolds. Only the final 15 minutes of the film are the best of it. From then on, I was really, really disappointed.… Expand

To some, intent matters far less than actions. ''A German- Jewish writer named Kurt Tucholsky wrote, 'The opposite of good is good intentions".

''A German- Jewish writer named Kurt Tucholsky wrote, 'The opposite of good is good intentions". On the moral scales, guilty feelings are what guide people to atonement. If I can simplify the movie Calibre(Directed by Matt Palmer), in the silhoutte of Scottish highlands, I believe the above line would do justice. The script is written at a steady intervals of depicting, the friends, Marcus & Vaughn, reflecting their true self vs the aspiring self. Director Matt Palmer introduces the friends Marcus, as a risk taker, adventure seeker, with no commitments. Vaughn is shown as caring boy friend, expecting father, thrilled family man, clear in his conscience, but fargile, when it comes to handling Marcus.

Vauhn realizes he has got into a terrible flux with Marcus and there is no way he can escape. There is a moment, even Marcus would realize, why did he turn into a criminal. The movie revolves around both the characters, being the protoganist, & also the villains. Director Matt has represented the shades of their fragility & evilness in appropriate proportion. In the end, the suspense is all about how the villagers faciliate punishment for both the friends.… Expand

Игра от бездарных игроделов от компании WarGaming как и ожидалось забагованная и эти баги похоже не очень стремятся исправлять.
