#126 - Darc (2018)

"A by the numbers revenge thriller that hints at the potential for greater things sporadically throughout the run time, but flips between the intriguing and the infuriating. 

This is a film trying to be a mixture of slick, over edited thriller and dark, gritty revenge, never quite keeping a firm grasp on either. Our protagonist is a one note shape of a man that doesn't quite have the acting chops to exude a contemplating confidence instead of static boredom. 

There is a duplicity to the entirety of it that never quite focuses into a straight line, the quality in every aspect mish-mashed scene to scene, as if some were first takes. Worth a watch if you can get over the tonal and quality shifts peppered throughout"


- 5.5/10
