10x10 (2018)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Very Cool!!!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Lewis (Luke Evans) is an outwardly ordinary guy, but in reality he is hiding an obsession - revenge - against Cathy (Kelly Reilly). Lewis kidnaps Cathy in broad daylight and takes her to his home, where he locks her in a soundproof cell and attempts to extract a dark secret from her past. Luke Evans is a pretty ok actor to be honest and he was really good in Fast & Furious 6 (2013) but also even in the disappointing Dracula Untold (2014) but unfortunately this movie was a waste of time, money and talent and as generic as it could have been too i'm afraid. (F)

I've given this a 10 just to help outweigh all the low scores. Ok so it's clearly a low budget, there are a few scenes where you're screaming at the screen, why didn't she finish him off when she could? But hey, it's movie land, that's what happens, always. You want realism that why on earth do you watch movies?So why did I like it? Was it worth a 10? Hell yes! Unexpected twist that makes you find yourself switching sides and being thankfull that all the things you wanted to happen didn't. So few movies around any more that dare to be different. When was the last time the victim was actually the crazy serial killer? 10 out of 10 for originality.In my opinion, of course!

Seriously, why would you have shaky cam everytime the screen pans to Luke Evans? He's mentally unstable therefore shaky cam? Gave me a damn headache. At the very least make your film watchable instead of annoying the heck out of viewers in a facile effort to appear deep. The script itself makes 0 sense, Luke can't even plan a proper kidnapping yet he's built a secret soundproof room, which doesn't even feature much at all. With a name like 10x10, you'd think the room would play some part but no, it's just some soundproof room he throws her in. Kelly's acting is decent as someone who doesn't give up. Luke meanwhile was atrocious but I think the terrible script played a big part in that. All in all, one of the poorest movies i've ever seen that wastes the talents at it's disposal. Director needs to learn to direct and writer needs to learn how to write. Not recommended.

I'm not one for long reviews so here goes.It wasn't nearly as bad as other reviews make it out to be. Sure not the best movie bud I'd say deserves atleast a 5/10.
