Maryland (2015)
5/10
Doesn't quite achieve what it sets out to do
11 December 2016
Disorder AKA Maryland is a bit of a mystery about a bodyguard with post traumatic stress disorder.

I expected it to be a bit exciting with the plot summary on IMDb but it moves at a slow pace and is trying to be a bit of a psychological drama- thriller.

Which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing but the edge isn't quite there , it never truly gets suspenseful even though the plot technically have moments where it should be.

I didn't hate it or anything and the acting is okay but overall I think this is the type of movie that in a year I might have forgotten I've even seen because it plays everything so low-key and well the plot isn't all that intriguing or original.

It's in French btw, when I got it I didn't realise that as I'm used to seeing Diane Kruger in American films and well I thought Maryland (which is the original title of the film) was taken from the state of Maryland, USA but there is actually a place called Maryland in France as well and that's where the name is from as it's there it takes place.
