(Review and rating based on the trailer)
After seeing Kelly Overton as Claire Sinclair (!) in BEAUTY & THE BEAST "Saturn Returns" last year, I Googled her, hoping to find more, and found this. Only recently did I find the trailer, though. Just searching for a plain simply name like THE COLLECTIVE wasn't rewarding, but scrolling down after entering THE COLLECTIVE 2008 at trusty old stalwart VuClip brought better results. Not that I can get to the item on MovieAgent and the VideoDepot thingie just didn't work. But the movie is sold out on DVD. Despite all the criticism on this site, it sold out, so why don't they get more stock?
The title seems kinda dumb. Maybe it might seem more fitting if I had seen the movie, but to the uninitiated, it doesn't say anything. Pretty girl desperately in search of her lost sister in New York, couldn't they have called it FRANTIC IN THE BIG CITY or something like that? The trailer seems totally promising even if I catch the general disdain of the reviewers at large. Kelly is beautiful, sincere, and would make an ideal heroine to root for. Pity I cannot get further than the trailer.
Any advice? Any merciful assistance? So that I too could perhaps one day give an unimpressed review of this movie? People, be glad that you were able to see this one. I am less fortunate in that regard. RavenGlamDVDCollector@gmail.com, 24/7/365 hunting down the elusive titles, all responses answered, even if just to chat about old favorites.
Addendum, 26 May 2015. For the third time, placing a despondent review on IMDb has brought me luck. Found item available after all. I know I'm speaking to an audience of none, as this title is old news, but maybe I could realize this month's obsession...! So look out for my extension to this review.
Addendum, 26 March 2017. Currently watching. You know what? Instant like! I research and obtain and watch loads of movies I quite disparage about because I thought they'd really be special, but they usually carry some serious flaw. This one is a goodie! Kelly Overton is really, really pretty, soft glamorous look, glorious cheekbone structure, she plays this sincere loving girl looking for her sister in New York. It makes for riveting viewing and looks great on the big screen. Indeed, a heroine to root for. Okay, the plot goes haywire. What were those people doing in the cathedral? Religious fervor induced by singing Latin? And the ending is super-weak. I like it that running away with her sister in tow is the chosen defense, with a large plank used to ward off a pursuer, but the bad guys simply self-destruct and give up, lame, lame ending. But for the promising first half, surprisingly good performance by fragile- looking Wynn Everett, and the magic that is Kelly Overton, recommended watching.
I have to say that bit again... the magic that is Kelly Overton. Cute as a kitten Kelly Overton.
