‘Gerald’s Game’ MOVIE REVIEW: Netflix Stephen King Adaptation is a Thrilling, Terrifying Winner
An abundance of thrills, disturbing themes and absolutely terrifying imagery.
An abundance of thrills, disturbing themes and absolutely terrifying imagery.
Does well in celebrating the man, but has a rather pedestrian narrative for someone who raised the eyebrows of many.
The necessary element of unpredictability is largely absent in this low-budget thriller.
Knows what it wants to accomplish, and doesn’t try too hard to go above and beyond to do so.
It isn’t all total gloom though.
Cruise carries the film like the screen star he is, although it would have been great if he had been given more to chew on.
Jeff Bridges, Kate Winslet and Pierce Brosnan try their best in this monument to navel-gazing and self-pity.
A mix of impressive performances with sharp visuals and a wonderful score.
The follow-up should keep viewers engaged with spectacle, if not story.
Transparent, predictable and further marred by an inconsistent tone.
