Collide

Stellar Cast, yet unfortunate poor filming. Constant camera movement headache and distracts from actors natural talent. Shame, was really looking forward to film and plot development. Wish film had been created with alternate or classic "steady camera". Lighting not balanced, dining area may have dimmed lights for atmosphere, yet kitchen/cooler would absolutely not be dark. I would watch again if set design/lighting, and camera crew filming were scrubbed with a fresh approach. Too much intertwined from start of characters development. Reboot with better balance of set design, light & direction.

There are so many things I disliked about this film that I don't have the time or mental capacity after watching it to write them all here. So, I will simply say the motion sickness induced by the camera movement throughout the entire film is a devastating offense to the art of cinematography. Watching this movie is both a figurative and a literal sickening experience. The storylines did not mesh well. Lastly, all potential displays of expert acting were overshadowed by the aforementioned poor cinematography and incoherent storyline. I recommend steering clear of this film. You can't get the wasted time back.

I tried to finish this but I really don't want to waste the next 17 mins it would take to get to the end. To be honest I just don't care about any of the story lines or people. I like the actors but feel like I'm watching community theater with a hand held camera. Just bad writing I think is the problem? I've seen stories of affairs, oppression, and drug heists and this feels like maybe the film club at high school got the chance to write a script and someone filmed it. Not sure why Gaffegan or Phillipe took on these roles. The gal who plays Tamira is hard to watch. Back to Hulu search on a Friday night.

Remember that great movie Crash with the 3 separate stories that intersect at the end? Well this movie is like that, except without the great script and the great pacing and the great ending.... wow, these are good actors too. They must be desperate for work in Hollywood or something. What a dud of a movie. Avoid this dumpster fire or you'll feel cheated out of 90 minutes of your life.

Wife and I were convinced to watch it when it had an 8.2 rating on IMDB, and the plot sounded a decent. We could not make it more than 20 minutes through it. The characters, acting, pacing and bizarre use of a shakey cam all contributed to our confusion. It felt like a first draft that was accidentally released.
