'The Weekend Away' is my kind of movie. Grounded, twisted, mysterious fun. When I watch these movies I'm not interested in judging the actors or assessing the depth of the dialogue. I just want a fun and interesting story that is going to keep me guessing right until the end. And that's exactly what this delivers.
The movie begins with an image from later on in the movie. I know why they do this, because they have to hook the audience in immediately, yet there is nothing interesting enough early in the movie to do it, but it drives me crazy when they do. They are taking away a reveal in the movie and robbing us of experiencing it at the part of the movie we should be.
There's a lot going on in this movie. It does a good job of juggling all the characters and giving them all different reasons why they could or could not be involved in the crime. It's short and sharp at only 90 minutes and never outstays its welcome. I had a really good time with this movie. 8/10.
Fmovies: If you go away for the weekend, you'd think it would be good for you. It usually is ... unless you go with a friend that ... well disppears on you. Or does she? That is the mystery to solve ... and a lot of stuff is being discovered while the friend is missing.
Having said that, the thriller aspect of the movie works partly. There are things that do not really work. And the very last twist is almost a bit too much ... especially because I reckon most see it coming anyway - or expect it to be more exact.
Acting is fine (again apart from that final twist that is a bit too on the nose) and if you don't have high expectations, this will satisfy your thrill needs ...
It was actually decent and entertaining up until the last 30 mins. It was an unbelievably anticlimactic and dumb way to end a story line which could have been so much better.
The Weekend Away fmovies. This here film was very dumb, in a laugh out loud kind of way. The actual plot points weren't absurd on their own, but just the way all these wild, over the top elements were all put together for one story made it all feel laugh out loud ridiculous. There were even in fact many laugh out loud moments that were explicitly not meant to be laugh out loud funny.
Basically, if this movie were a dinner entree, it would be a mashed up bowl of steak, potatoes, ice cream, pancakes, chocolate fudge, beer, macaroni and cheese, taco meat, pickles, and all different manner of cheeses, cooked together with complete disregard for how it will taste. You have to laugh at how childish it comes across much of the time.
Does anyone in the movie business know how to develop characters anymore? And how the heck do u present a beautiful Croatia without any Croats?? Seriously, what were u guys thinking??
The acting is subpar and I'm sorry, but that ending was just ridiculous. This could've been a really good movie, sadly, it's not.
Maybe this is coming from watching the Zodiac by David Fincher then coming to this. Ridiculous plot, b movie feel on colour grading and overall feel of the movie.
No tension and relying on everyone acting stupid for the movie to work. The fact that they didn't find anything for few days even though where the crime happened should been obvious, is ridiculous.
Leighton Meester definitely deserved a better movie than this.
