Jamie Blanks - Australia 2008 - thriller - 88min.
Remake of the 1978 film of the same name.
A couple in crisis, Peter (Jim Caviezel) and Carla (Claudia Karvan), leave the dog with him for a weekend on a secluded beach known only by surfers. They should go with a couple of friends, but can not find your way. There, Peter is dedicated to his favorite activities while Carla is increasingly impatient. The report, instead of improving, more and more serious. What's more the nature seems to want to avenge the two, whose behavior is very anti-ecological ...
The film begins well, with excellence featuring the two protagonists, both well understood. Technically valid, the film unfortunately bloats a lot in the second half, undecided whether or not explain what is happening in the environment surrounding the two characters. Accumulate as a series of strange facts and / or unbelievable without many explanations, with results that sometimes fall into the ridiculous involuntary (the dugong is more tenderness than fear), and a final splatter that indicates a lack of ideas between director and screenplay, who opt for this easy solution. Excessively ambitious, the film does not have an adequate philosophical and conceptual framework to support it, and thus ends on a cryptic symbolism and uninteresting.
bad.
Rating: 2 / 5
