Review of Character

Character (2021)
3/10
Entertaining until the end (spoilers)

Warning: Spoilers
Overall the movie was well paced, until the last 20 minutes.

The acting and presentation was good, not excessively gory to distract from the story, but also did not shy away from important scenes.

Villain's acting was lacking compared to the rest, but Masaki stole the show.

*Spoilers* The plot was reasonably with the character's motives and logic up until the last 20 minutes. The entire ending would change if Yoahimura waited 2 seconds, hell he was able to call a cab somehow in less time than a police escort that was right beside him? And a taxi cab beat the police by minutes.

They could have made the villain more cunning by cutting off the electricity or fooling a security guard or something, but no, they just used the stupid trope of mc rushes to his loved one and makes a foolish decision getting caught offhand, and if only the police were with him, except 2 minutes before, they were.

Then the wife is helpless and can't run. Maybe make her at 9 months pregnant or something to make it believable, or show her immobility beforehand.

Then they make the mc into Joker, which comes off as cartoonist and forced, without any hint of his transformation before.

Until the ending the movie was a solid 7-8/10, but the ending just ruined it.
