Kick (2014)
5/10
A mediocre charmer
25 July 2014
The story of an adrenaline junkie, a man who would do anything just to get a kick. Quitting jobs, changing girls provides a high he constantly craves.

The movie focuses on the effect he had on a girl whose heart he crushed and the life of crime he pursued afterwards, trying to link the two stories again towards the end of the film.

It started on a low, rather very low as the audience were initially introduced to a live-for-today, party-hard kind of guy. Ineffective humour and exaggerated sound effects made for a not so pleasant experience.

As the plot moved on, it picked itself up and even got me somewhat intrigued. The Lothario had (somehow) become a serial robber and the police was on his tail, what will it happen next?

From the moment the plot was resolved and the hidden cards became revealed, it fell totally flat all the way to the final scene.

All in all this is a relatively charming mediocre experience.
