Body At Brighton Rock

Good movie.

Terrible movie acting was terrible

First off, I first thought this was a comedy. Spoilers ahead! In the first 24 hours, a young (but really cute) park ranger manages to do the following: 1.) Walkthrough the backcountry wearing ear-buds listening to music (um, never do that) and immediately gets lost. 2.) Get run over by a deer (yes thats right) and drops her map, losing it. (Was there a compass?). 3.) Pulls out a radio from 1975, discovers the 4 AAA batteries are dead and replace them with spares - she didnt check this before she left the station? 4.) Discovers a body and repeatedly and inadvertently destroys a potential crime scene. 5.) Discovers a tent, climbs into it and inadvertently destroys another potential crime scene. 6.) Notices a bear bag - where people store food, keeping it up high-away from bears, and doesnt seem to have any idea what it is (bear-bags are quite common in the backcountry). 7.) Nearly falls off a cliff from operating her 1975 radio. 8.) Camps 10 feet from a three-day old bloody, decaying corpse in bear country. 9.) Wakes up from a bad dream and sprays nearly all of her bear spray into the air...and her own eyes. 10) Likely uses most of her potable water to rinse said spray from her eyes. 11.) She tries to climb up a cliff, falls and knocks herself out. 12.) Gets attacked by a 1200 lb bear while laying on her back and fights it off by kicking it once in the nose (the bear actually stops and rubs his nose, as if saying, Ouch!. 13.) Uses the rest of her bear spray to create a flamethrower (you head that right) with the worst CG fire Ive ever seen. It does not appear to hit the bear, much less bother him. 13.) Realizes a person she saw messing with the body who she later kicked off a cliff (but didnt seem to feel bad about the murder) was actually the ghost of the body she was watching. Yeah, I dont get it either. It makes perfect sense. Wait, no it doesnt. Honestly, the director asks a LOT of the audience. We have to believe that a Park Ranger would carry a radio from 1975 (it has an extendable antenna and looks like my old Atari). Then we have to assume she would not have a GPS. Or flares. Or a knife. Or a panic button. Or any formal training in backcountry hiking. Or camping. Or emergency procedures. Or basic navigation. She hiked six hours out and the police didnt have a SAR (Search and Rescue) team to go get her until later the next day -despite the fact everyone knows she is inexperienced, alone in the woods with a dead body. We all know this movie is low-budget, after-school fodder, and I dont mind the acting. I just cant believe anyone would want a writer/director/producer credit for this. Another note: fire the titling person. The opening font was one of the reasons I first thought it was a comedy as it reminded me of Caddyshack. The Oingo Boingo didnt help.

Actors are amazing and I love watching it.

Possibly the worst movie I have watched in two or three years. Nonsensical plot; poor acting & casting. Slow as molasses. I am retired and typically watch two movies a day. So when I pan a movie, take it seriously.

This is not a great movie. It is not even a good movie. I found myself getting very annoyed at the protagonist. She was a silly little girl. It was okay, and what made it an okay movie is the subtle twist at the end: it was a ghost story with a little boo! I think they charged too much for this one. However, I very heartily encourage viewers to check out XX on Netflix. That was a very good and very scary anthology.

Do not waste your time. Terrible film.

Wasnt that good

Trailer made this movie look more interesting than it actually was. Very misleading

This is a great survival thriller premise, but its lost in the lack of tension and poor acting. I really wanted to like the movie as its description is right up my alley, and so much could have been done with the film to make it engaging, so it just made me feel frustrated that Id spent time and money on it when there was no development of the plot whatsoever. The main character is completely uncharismatic and I had no feeling one way or another about whether I wanted her to survive. Dont waste your time--there are many other movies that you should watch before this one.
