Review of Archenemy

Archenemy (2020)
2/10
This is the kind of film that deserves a remake
6 June 2021
What at first felt like the waste of a likable talent (Joe Manganiello) finally was an interesting idea badly developed. The dialogue was cringingly bad so I could not tell if the acting, for the most part, was as well. The fact that Manganiello managed to stay charismatic and nuanced despite huge lapses of logic and even continuity, suggests that the other actors were as bad as they seemed.

I say that it deserves a remake because it is unwatchable as it is, but with a more coherent story, better dialogue and competent actors to support Mr. Manganiello, it could be an entertaining and thought provoking hero/anti-hero film.

The one exception is the animation, which was quite effective and gave more depth to the whole production.
