... View MoreThe sun drenched days of summer turn dark and ominous for hitchhiking duo Jack and Véronique when they become inexplicably entangled with a mysterious married couple and a local road kill collector in rural France. Road Games started pretty good and for the most part although it was your typical slow paced horror film about killing and murder it was at least kinda enjoyable and the performances were okay but once that 3rd act came along and that dumb twist happened the movie completely lost me. Also there's a laughably bad scene where someone dies by an accident and it was pretty hilarious overall i didn't hated the fact that they were speaking way too much french but at times it did get pretty boring and mediocre but other than that it still doesn't change the fact that this film was just bad. (4/10)
... View MoreA very slow thriller-horror (which to be fair is sort of the norm these days for the genre).But that said it's not terrible; it's really nicely shot with rich colors of the French countryside, the acting is good enough to keep the interest going and the ending is pretty good. I find it funny how some reviewers complain that too many parts are in French, like really? Complaining about it being too many French-speaking parts in a movie set in France is like complaining about the water being too wet.But I guess they either don't know how to read or how to put on the subtitles, which says more about them than it does this movie.Anyway like I was saying, a movie with a bunch of positives but that still falls just a bit short with some unfulfilled potential; the script could have done with some improvement.That said I wouldn't recommend anyone against watching it, unless they are looking for a fast-paced thriller I guess which this is not.
... View MoreReally enjoyable suspense thriller. The whole French/English language barrier is what is so unique and sets it apart from other movies. It ups the tension and is my favourite aspect, how it uses the language barrier to its advantage. Just as Jack may (or may not!) be misinterpreting events and meaning, we too are kept unsure about what we think is actually happening.It's interesting how the language is used in this way, as part of moving the plot forward. It's intriguing and pulls you into the story, leaving you trying to untangle the madness. I'm not sure I've quite seen that in a movie before, not done in a thriller at least. There are a few weak points plot-wise but the film works as a whole and is definitely worth a look if you're into something fun and a little different.
... View MoreFor god's sake, make up your mind. What was the purpose of this? Nobody needs this kind of "realism" any more to make movie believable. It was auditory equivalent of nauseating beginnings of 3D, but worse. Two sexy women (yes, older one too) just weren't enough compensation for this torture. Sorry. Psychological thrillers make their "sale" on the basis of, well, psychologically thrilling the viewer. Not linguistically. While I can appreciate the fact that this movie is a proof that blood and gore are not unavoidable ingredient of nail biting movie, completely unpredictable mingling between languages barred me from getting into the story, at all.
