... View MoreIn this Lifetime-style film, Anna Carter is a superb administrator for a philanthropic organization. But she leads a separate, private life, carefully planning murders of a wide assortment of offenders, child molesters, drunk drivers, and other nefarious creatures who have remained unpunished in the eye of the law. She is also terminally ill with cancer and is highly motivated to continue with her vigilante work to the bitter end.The actress was great in the role of Anna, bringing multiple dimensions to the role. She was credible as the loyal executive working under the powerful magnate Jonathan She was the wounded victim, who lost her family members in a random act of violence committed by a murderer who got the wrong address of his victims. She was sensitive in her relationship with her best friend Chloe. And she was even thoughtful to Michael, the psychiatrist who adores her, but does not understand the full story of her life.My favorite character in the film was the wily detective who suspected something was amiss in Anna's story and began nosing around for the truth. The various plot strands come together nicely after the detective character had done some snooping around. The key juncture of the film was the detective's surprising bonding with Anna.The locations in the film were effective, as Anna planned her murders in such far-flung places as San Francisco, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Albuquerque. One of the best scenes is when Anna is about to murder an oily defense attorney in a hotel, but chooses compassion when she sees a photo of his beautiful children. In the end, the film belongs to Anna as an interesting character study, a female "Death Wish" artist in more ways than one.
... View MoreI just saw this film at the Starz Denver Film Festival. It was an amazing film. Anyone who knows anything about independent films knows that this film is an amazing achievement. Even someone who has never even seen an independent film can appreciate the great story line and the beautiful locations. Besides the four different locations and the great cinematography for a completely unknown cast the acting was great. The lead Kristine Blackport was great. Her first major role, doing all of her own stunts and overall just doing a phenomenal job. I definitely recommend checking this one out! Also if you stick around you can see in the credits that she was responsible for the music which was really great. I think we will probably be seeing her sometime in the future.
... View MoreOK so the story line is different but the characters are cliché and the actors are appalling. Especially the lead actor (Kristine Blackport), she thinks too highly of her acting abilities and you can definitely tell! I'm really surprised that she is the lead actress in this movie, I mean it has independent written all over it, but still she is atrocious, many of the extras could probably have done the role/movie more justice. The music also doesn't help at all, it's annoying at best. The only thing that made this movie watchable was definitely the cinematography! It was artful and flowing and did the most towards helping understand what was going on, although the scene changes were a little jumpy, visually this film was great! Acting-wise it was beyond poor!
... View MoreI recently saw Juncture at the Mill Valley Film Festival and was completely blown away. I honestly had no idea what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised. Juncture is the right combination of action, thriller, suspense and drama and it poses some very interesting moral questions. Lead lady Kristine Blackport (as Anna Carter)'s presence is unforgettable. The viewer experiences Anna's journey through the last few months of her life and what she chooses to do with that precious time. I laughed and cried with Anna. And the film definitely left me pondering about what I would do in a similar situation. It's always nice to see strong female characters presented in film. Excellent story and dialogue. Beautiful cinematography. Impressive acting. The music also was very strong and helped support the dramatic moments of the film. All in all, I highly recommend Juncture.
