... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThe movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
... View MoreThere's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
... View MoreEnjoyed the film. Story line had the right supernatural touch and moved along well. Kept my interest and had a satisfying conclusion. Loved seeing my home state used in the film also! Thought the actors did very well, and felt the scenes with Burt Reynolds added solidity. I applaud the director/writer and await her next effort.
... View MoreThis is not a great movie, The acting is sub par, about a step above what you'd see in soap operas. Angie is probably the best actor in the movie. The emotions are often not fully in sync with the scenes. This movie plays like an after school special or lifetime movie. All that said there is something about it that keeps you hooked. I generally do not like to watch movies about missing children, too disturbing. Early on I kept thinking about stopping the film because it seemed of low quality, but like I said it keeps you hooked. Burt Reynolds has two on screen appearances and they are extremely brief, but he adds, in my opinion, a lot. All in all I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I wish they had done a better job with the delivery, but it is what it is and that is enjoyable none the less.
... View MoreIt is a beautiful movie that shows a story more as it nearly could be "based on a true story". You can watch this movie on a weekend at home. I personally liked it, it shows you the real sacrifice of a lover and how far he is willing to go to save his true love. Despite losing his career after his affair was exposed to the public as a well known writer and a married man, he didn't care, to the point he stayed 5 months searching for his lover and doing a job that the police should have had done. If this movie was based on a true story, you will easily believe it. However, I believe that the title of the movie was chosen wrongly. I really enjoyed the movie, it's a story that you can enjoy watching and the acts are really good , especially Guisela Moro, her acting was outstanding. This movie shows you the loyalty of long term friendship , love, betrayal, strangers helping other strangers and police involvement. It's a great movie to watch but not suitable for children under 15.
... View More"Hollow Creek" is just one, big old mess of a movie. A couple set out to have some down time (I guess) at a friend's cabin in the woods. The man is a writer and needs to come up with his new novel quick because the cover for the book has already been done. So, off they go into the middle of nowhere to a near ghost-town where (natch) there is NO cellular service. On the way, they hear some local news about the disappearance of some young boys, but they and their dog are not about to let that stop their time together. Trouble is, the couple are not really a couple. He's taken his mistress along for the ride and is about to break the news to his wife that he wants a divorce. Wifey- poo goes into town to find a doctor because she's not feeling too well, whereupon the first in a series of bad luck instances rears its ugly head. All this cheaply-made movie had going for it--and you will be misled just as I was--was the "casting" of Burt Reynolds. I do not believe I have seen him in anything since "Boogie Nights." He certainly should have left well enough alone. He is on screen for all of 10 minutes. The acting is terrible, pacing is awful, you have incidents, e.g. the now you see me; now you don't appearance of a ghost of a young boy, that is never explained and really does not have anything to do with the movie. You have the crazed couple that live in this collapsing town that would be the most OBVIOUS suspects in these disappearances, yet the local yocal sheriff and minions (who I suspect lacked opposable thumbs) cannot seem to figure out. And the writer; lord love a duck, this is basically what happens to him: He's off for a tryst with his mistress, he finds out his mistress is pregnant, his mistress disappears, he's accused of killing her, he loses his job (with no severance pay), and his wife now knows of his philandering ways. I do not know why the writer(s) stopped there. I mean, hell, why didn't you just give him cancer, AIDS--or both. Talk about overkill. I did not care one iota for anybody in this movie. Poorly directed, acted, and written, this "Creek" needs to run dry. Rated R for language, violence, and general stupidity. Don't waste your time or money.
