Curve (2015)

I saw Julianne Hough in Footloose and I wasn't very impressed. This movie changed my opinion of her acting skills. This movie just gave her the chance to show her talent. I don't think there is anything this woman cannot do. The part was not an easy one by any stretch of the imagination and Julianne nailed it. I don't recognize the male lead. I always give any movie five minutes to convince me to watch it. This movie had me from the beginning. It's more like a psychological thriller. I really don't think any other actress could have done any better than The performance was really fantastic and is worth of an Academy Award in my opinion. I really enjoyed this movie and hope you do to. I haven't heard of this movie before. I stumbled onto it on Netflix and thoroughly enjoyed it. No spoilers here, watch and enjoy!

Fmovies: And here is why:

1st: there are two completely different halves in this movie. The first is more of a survival, with all the moves you've seen before and the other goes revenge style, again, with the most common behavior possible.

2nd: the first part is really boring, I was just sitting there waiting for something to happen. I even began to question if this is a horror movie or not.

3rd: the acting was in my opinion bad.

4th: unnecessary torture. Whenever a movie fails to deliver some horror parts it goes the torture porn direction and tries to get away. Enough with this already.

In the end, tho I can understand people that cheer for Curve, I got to say I seriously disliked it. Annoyed that I found this little movie.

Cheers!

Have you ever watched a movie, particularly a horror movie or thriller, in which you really didn't like the protagonist? This was that type of movie.

Mallory's (Juliane Hough) car breaks down on her way to Denver from San Francisco. As fate would have it some hunky guy is hiking and helps her get on the road again. She returns the favor by giving him a ride and lo and behold he's not such a good guy.

This rehashed, good-looking-bad-dude-whom-you-trusted plot is so tired and they did nothing to make it likable. And the main character, Mallory, whoa buddy. She was everything wrong with a petite pretty blond. She made one poor decision after another which is why she ended up in a terrible situation. Then couple that with her hoarse voice and she became more annoying.

This movie was replete with a flimsy predictable plot, impossibly absurd lead character and bad acting. I mean, even the lines were of the 25 cent gumball variety. This was a movie I just wanted to end... soon. It could end with Mallory living it could end with her dying and I wouldn't care one way or the other... just end.

Curve fmovies. If I had to compare this to another movie it would be "Open Water" except in a car with a killer instead of a shark and a more satisfying ending. In essence this is more of a slow survival movie with a faster paced "survivor girl vs killer" finish.

All of the production, acting, directing, etc are well done. However, as others have mentioned it doesn't really bring anything new to the table, but then again, does any movie these days?

In the end I liked it. If you are looking for a full blown horror movie, this is not what you are looking for. If you like movies like "Open Water" and "127 Hours" then this is probably worthy of a watch.

As survival films go, this one isn't bad but doesn't bring anything new to the table. It's more of a thriller than a horror because there's really not much blood and gore to speak of. That said, the twist ending is a nice surprise although most of the film plods along quite predictably. There's some great acting and impressive cinematography, so I assume there was a decent budget for this movie. It's just a shame that no matter how much money you throw at something, a mediocre story is still a mediocre story. The script was entertaining though and evoked a real sympathy for the characters, so it's worth a watch if you enjoy this genre.

Not a whole lot to really say about this one. It is exactly what it looks like, a survival type movie with some horror mixed in. It's pretty predictable and doesn't really try to do anything new. With that said though it's not terrible, it held my attention throughout, the acting was good enough, and the ending was fairly thrilling.

I didn't hate the film, however it is one of those movies that I will eventually forget about. Still wasn't a horrible way to kill a week night though. If you want something simple to watch as a time killer you could probably do better than this, but you could do worse as well.
