Sometimes I like to see a film from the impression I get from his Trailer, in this case, Terminal, the first film directed by its director, Vaughn Stein, and starring Margot Robbie, caught my attention thanks to a well-made neo-noir style image, however, once I saw the film, I was left with the impression that the only thing I like was precisely that, lol appearances deceive. That's why today I'll talk about it.

Plot

The film tells the story of two hitmen who accept the work of a mysterious crime man, what they do not know is that on the way they will meet a young waitress named Annie, which will complicate everything for everyone.

Opinion

A fatally-ill teacher possibly on the verge of suicide, a rather strange janitor, a couple of hitmen who have been entrusted with a job, and a man hidden in the shadows named Franklyn and who sees everything through various monitors, all them connected by one person, Annie, who has made a deal with Franklyn to become his only hitwoman in exchange for him getting a specific person for her.

The film was entertaining, I can not deny it, however, I think that is due to the way in which the story is told, the information that the director and the screenwriters give to the viewer is very little in such a way that everything becomes a puzzle, but a puzzle that we do not have a chance to piece together but we have to see how it is put together itself, leaving on the road a couple of twists that try to surprise but that do not get it.

The strongest point of the film is its visual work, the neo-noir aesthetic is very well made, the shots well made, and the camera in the right places, on the other hand, the weak point of the film is probably the story that is telling us, which gives the impression of being very banal and simple, what gives it complexity is the way it is narrated, Otherwise, the same story would not even be a bit entertaining.

The performances are fine, Margot Robbie is the one who carries the most weight of the film and she does it in a great way, but without highlighting too much, it is not her best work either. Simon Pegg, Dexter Fletcher and Max Irons do an acceptable job, but none manages to stand out more than the other. Finally, the work done by Mike Myers seems incomplete, a part of what he does seems very well done, but the other part is not convincing enough.

Definitely I think Terminal is a movie that I do not regret to see, but that without doubt I would not see again, there is not much I can get from this movie, the entertainment it generates is due to the way in which the story is told, and neither is it anything too bright. I highlight exclusively his visual aesthetics.
