Review of Paradox

Paradox (III) (2016)
3/10
Usual Suspects Wannabe
25 April 2016
Not sure what I can say about this movie that doesn't offend anyone that had a role in making it. I'm not sure what film the first two reviewers were watching but it sure as hell wasn't the same one the rest of us were. I'd hazard a guess that they have some link to the film. I have dubiously given this film a 3 purely because I did sit through all of it; and it would be a little harsh to rate it as low as some of the films I've switched off after ten minutes. That being said, I do feel that I've wasted 90 odd minutes of my life.

Despite liking the premise of the movie, as I'm a big SyFy and time travel fan, the film had an awful script, an even worse dialogue and acting that can only be described as 'below amateur'. I know there are some films where the dialogue simply can not be acted out well, and some of the actors in this were trying really hard. But the lead role is diabolical. I really don't understand from the moment he said his opening line why the director didn't say "Out!!!". Even more dis-satisfactory than that was the really lame attempt to create a 'Usual Suspects' type mystery and ending; but it simply pays a huge disservice to the classic.

I could go on, but I'll just warn you all against watching this movie. Especially if you're a die hard SyFy fan. It will only disappoint.
