Reviews
Good movie but grossly overrated
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
When the film starts the music gives off a suspense horror movie feel. Scenes were very dark extra dark while the only light was seen on each character. I figure that the audience saw a lot of shadows. Storyline wasn't confusing it was pretty interesting to follow. The quality of this film was crisp very clear showing how cameras were changing and improving.
I liked this movie, it had an interesting plot that really kept me watching. It took me probably 15 minutes in to actually realize what was going on but I eventually got it. I feel like this movie could be identified as a thriller, crime, and/or drama movie because it had characteristics of each. It was also a fairly dark film. The investigator was really good at his job. I could predict how the movie would end but it was still a good watch. I like mystery movies.
The Stranger (1946), Orson Welles tells the story of a detective on the hunt for a Nazi war criminal. I thought The Stranger had a captivating story with rather dark themes. Welles, as I've learned, is a pro when it comes to directing cinematography and making exceptional use of cleaver camera angles and shots, The Stranger is no exception. All in all, I thought this was an excellent noir thriller and would certainly watch this again.
In my opinion The Stranger starts out slow, but then eventually becomes more intriguing over time.It takes place after World War II. Throughout the whole movie the characters are in a search to find a former Nazi who is hiding out in a small Connecticut town. This Nazi has completely changed his identity so they are using the only information they have, which is his passion for clocks, to try and find him.This is definitely a film noir marked by the fatalism that occurs in the movie. Towards the end of the film the suspense continuously builds up, resulting in exciting ending scenes.
