View MoreGreat movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
View MoreThrough painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
View MoreWhen Beau jumped on the bar to close the circuit he would have been touching nothing else and would not have been electrocuted, like a bird on a power line wouldn't be. He could have pushed himself off the bar and landed where he had been standing.
View MoreI liked it overall due to the lovely acting that really sealed home the emotional key points in most cases. They did have some unresolved subplots though. There's quite a bit more that they could have done with the film; however, they kind of skipped it. It's like they were trying to tell one story, but told another just because of the lack of development with some of the major characters. One example is Bailey. Beau was responsible for the deaths of both her parents and she took it all in stride. It was like she was slightly vapid, which didn't fit since her life was the one on the line. She knew something was wrong when that jerk with the muscle car (Ron) was going into the lady's house; however, she just stood watching. No one in their right mind would assume that the lady was having an affair with the jerk if they had ever met him. Basically, when she followed the husband in the house was the first time she was like "oh, something might be going on here." She had a working cellphone. She should have called the police. It would have saved her from getting shot; however, it would have negated the end of the movie. The ending at the substation was amazing though. Not just because of the spectacularness of Beau's resolution. It was also because he was finally making up for his mistake at the beginning of the film. All in all, I would watch it again.
View MoreWhere to begin? John Travolta's agent was clearly smoking crack when he said 'John do this movie it's going to be bigger than Star Wars'.Within 5 minutes of the movie starting you know how it's going to end.The acting is at best wooden.The film's only redeeming feature is at the end when it highlights how many people have been killed trying to keep the lights on.
View MoreWatched this tonight - Watt a treat, its absolutely shocking, electrifying and keeps pylon on the suspense, it really amps up towards the end, and manages to fuse and splice current day tech with raw acting power, if you want a film that makes you go "ohm my god" you cant do better than this John Tra-volt-a charged joule of a movie. This really sparks the imagination and overloads the senses, worth the watch. Follow it up by watching the new program on the documentary channel about power workers searching the top floor of abandoned power stations for old valuables - Cash in the static.
