Review of Widows

Widows (2018)
5/10
Good acting but sadly doesnt save this film from Poor pacing and bad script
12 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Film based on the 80s series where a bunch of women are left with a problem after their husband was killed during a heist, forcing them into a situation they can back out of to settle a delt.

There isnt anything I can really say that is good about this film, for a thriller ya the acting is good, the plot is ok, but sadly this film is poorly executed on screen. it's a shame because Viola Davis has the acting skill to come off as a hard-hitting woman that can hold her own, through the film she comes off like this but the script is so poorly written it just shame she in this film.

Not a filmi would recommend rushing out to see and wait for it on Dvd or blu-ray



Dislikes: The first biggest problem was the begin with the husbands, again these felt like throwaway characters just to move a story along, this is why this film when downhill from here (for me personally is why I couldn't get into the film).

These are characters that are meant to establish the story and get a sense of what's going on, instead, we know nothing about them other than a point plot twist in the film, which is why this film starts off bad before were just thrown into the main plot of the film.

Yes, its start to build up the woman's characters but its done in such a slow way the after an hour the film start to become boring, as the pacing is seriously at a snail pace. This is bad for the film because of it, not engaging the audience enough, to care about the characters or the film its self. This is due to poor script writing and character development of the film.

Which is a shame since you have some great cast actress and actor in this film but sadly this film plot twist and acting doesn't save this film from its boring slow pace storytelling, which sadly this is the worst film this year, not a film I would recommend rushing out to watch.
