Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Red Road (2007)

I'm embarrassed to admit that the Scottish accents were so hard to decipher at times that there were entire scenes that left me baffled.

Still, it's an involving movie concerning a woman who's employed to scan cctv for signs of criminal activity and who inserts herself into the life of one of the people she sees. The story unfolds slowly and effectively; we spend quite a bit of time in the dark as to her motives. It's probably not quite as cathartic as it was intended to be, but it was still pretty dang good.

B+
