Conclusion

Composing a film involves orchestrating its various parts into a cohesive whole, and at the center of this complexity lies the film’s narrative, character development, and events, among several other elements. A narrative has the potential for influencing the commercial prospects of a movie, for instance, not only for its originality but also as a guideline for working on other parts of the movie. With that said, today we are reviewing a film that deals with a very interesting concept however due to the actions of one character we see the film fail to live up to its potential.

So, straight to the point, we witness Nick Heirs (Cody Carter) walking through the town. He is back from jail after serving ten solid years. Nick lives with his cousin Mark (Carlo Campbell) and he faces the challenges of seeking employment, complying with his parole restrictions, and coping with the consequences of his past actions.

One instance of shortcomings in this film appears in the interactions between different characters. I am not sure if the problem is the edit or in the performances but some of the conversations come of feeling stilted. This also demonstrates how key the sound mix is because if it does not work, it shows.

But the much bigger issue comes from the character of Nick, the protagonist of the movie. On screen, the movie seems to be trying to manipulate and evoke sympathy towards him. He is in focus, however. The film also shows us that he’s not a redeemable character, he literally murders his partner out of jealousy. So while it does suck that he is caught up in things that he cannot control and it gets worse through the course of the film. As an audience member, I don’t really care because of what I have seen him do and what he is still doing. All this, I’m afraid, destroys the movie’s central narrative focus.

One area where things don’t quite work as well as the others are in the back and forth between the different characters.

I am not sure whether it is the edit that is the problem or whether it is in the performances. But some of the conversations do come off as stilted. It also shows as to why the sound mix is very crucial because if it is bad, it is bad.

But the major problem emerges the story and its concentration on its central character Nick. The movie has always been framing him in such a way that we are supposed to sympathize with him. He is our point of view after all. But then the film also makes him incarnate a character that is bathed in flaws. In this instance, he resort to killing his partners out of jealousy.

So while it does suck that he is embroiled in such events that are way beyond his control and as the film progresses it worsens. But as a viewer, I do not particularly care. And that is solely because of what he has done and continues to do. This is, regrettably, corrosive to the whole dramatic arc of the film.
