Wander Reviews
a wasted opportunity. Aaron eckart gives a strong acting (more than other times) for a weak and messed up story. From the moment the character declares jimmy's death, the director turns on himself to create a game of rebounds and surprises that fails. Instead of confusing the viewer to show him a reality different from what was expected, he confuses everything resulting not very believable and the plot twist is worse than the confusion. The ending with the pressing soundtrack irritates even more. But anyway Aaron Eckart and TL Jones playing together are better than noting
Things just didn't add up, we need it Scully and Mulder to came and save the film
It reminded of a "beautiful mind" it is wasn't for the acting this movie would be worse. lol.
I thought the movie was great! Sad, eye opening and packed with action!
really captivating and thrilling. great performances and pace !
An interesting study in how bad a movie can turn. It starts strong but reveals its main themes and characters way too late in the game and rushes to catch up with itself ultimately taking the suspense of "crazy or not?" way too far. The exposition is heavy handed, the raison d'etre of the town of Wander is barely touched and could have been so much more fleshed out. It ends up just a mish mash of loose ends and half thoughts.
"Wander" is a film that boasts a talented cast, including Aaron Eckhart, Tommy Lee Jones, and Heather Graham, but unfortunately fails to deliver a compelling story or engaging characters. The film follows Eckhart's character, Arthur Bretnik, a private investigator who becomes obsessed with a conspiracy theory involving a cult and a series of mysterious deaths. Despite the potential for an intriguing thriller, "Wander" ultimately falls flat. The pacing is slow, and the story lacks any real tension or suspense. The characters are also underdeveloped, with little explanation or motivation for their actions. Eckhart delivers a solid performance as Arthur, but his character is ultimately undermined by a convoluted and poorly executed plot. Tommy Lee Jones, while always a welcome presence on screen, is given little to do in his role as a government agent investigating Arthur's claims. The film's attempts at social commentary are heavy-handed and often feel out of place, adding to the overall disjointed feel of the story. The ending is unsatisfying, leaving too many loose ends and unanswered questions. In conclusion, "Wander" is a missed opportunity, failing to deliver on its promising premise and talented cast. Despite some strong performances, the film ultimately falls short in its execution and leaves the audience feeling underwhelmed.
A truly unpleasant mess despite a great cast.
A bit hard to keep up with but very suspenseful.
Meanders a bit, not real easy to stay with.
I really do not think I have seen a worse movie told in a more confusing manner. That and the sound production is wacky as hell. Half a star is so generous.
Just okay. The story was a bit weak.
How is it possible that there were that many big names in such a horrible film? Terrible storytelling. Terrible script. The only thing that was interesting were seeing recognizable actors and great cinematography. What a waste of a movie.
Did not understand one word Aaron Elkhart said. Maybe it’s just as well. Terrible.
Absolutely terrible film no matter how Mainstream or Avant-Garde you might lean. Don’t waste your time.
Just seemed so bad to me! That horrible hoarse voice, disconnected plot and left me thinking what the hell was this?
