I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Brilliant and touching
Boring
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
If you can get passed something like the fact this movie has no big names and not that many recognizable faces, you may experience a very good suspense thriller. With the exception of a few of the 13 reviews preceding mine, most understood this was a well done movie. I'm no fan of Gabai, but I know a well directed movie when I see one; this is one hell of a surprise. For the first half or so of the movie, the director has us thinking and believing one thing, only this series of events, and scenes, was meant to get you involved. If you stayed with the movie up to that moment, you will be surprised and will feel the need to see the rest. That's when the director has you hooked. The camera work is very good, as is the editing; the musical score is not that great and thankfully there isn't much of it.I would spoil it for you if I give away more clues than the IMDb full storyline; it does not give away the key elements that make the movie a good thriller. Unfortunately, without giving away the key plot, you may very well think it's a boring story; it is not. I'm no fan of Adam Baldwin either; that alone almost made me skip the film. Thankfully I didn't. I liked the performances from the good looking Natalie Zea; she has the leading role. Though there are no out of the ordinary or outstanding performances from Zea or the next key character played by Sean Patrick Flanery, they are sufficiently convincing; you won't be blown away nor disappointed. As many reviewers stated, it is a movie that has you thinking; if you're not into that sort of movie, don't waste your time. I'm glad I did not dismiss the movie based on my opinion of Gabai's previous work; perhaps his editing and cinematography team had a good influence in this production, or he's been putting more thought in his work. If you are a fan of the genre (mystery/suspense/thriller), a genre that fails nowadays to gather big money for production, you must give this independent production (shot in two weeks) kudos for the result.
Natalie Zea (Justified, Dirty Sexy Money) plays the resolute and distressed Kaitlyn. Zea realistically conveys the characters emotions and actions. It's easy to enjoy Zea's noteworthy performance in this film. Kaitlyn not only takes on the task of solving who murdered Alison Parks, but she also provides in home care to her cancer stricken mother Patricia (Veronica Cartwright). Kaitlyn winds up partnering up with Detective Peter Rafferty who is assigned to investigate Allison Park's murder. Detective Peter Rafferty is played by the talented Sean Patrick Flanery of Powder, Young Indiana Jones, and Boondock Saints I & II fame.Flanery gives a solid performance as the over-worked, yet compassionate Detective Rafferty. Rafferty gets to show his tough side as well when he "questions" Allison's stalker-esque ex-boyfriend Stephen Geiger who is played by actor-musician Thomas Ian Nicholas of the T.I.N Men.InSight's pace doesn't let up for a single moment. The films pace even speeds up as it goes into it's final stretch. As I followed each twist and turn in an attempt to piece together Kaitlyn's visions, I still was left guessing who was Allison Park's murderer. The script is craftily devised to keep people on the edge of their seats guessing until the end, and even then the ending is a surprising twist with it being "open to some interpretation". InSight's production values are highly exceptional for an independent film.
As I read some of the reviews of the movie InSight, I was rather confused as to why anyone would write reviews which discuss how "the story is going nowhere" and how " the plot is very simple to figure out as the defining moment is the very beginning of the movie" etc. when they admit to only watching 15 or so minutes of the film. I think had they continued to watch, they would have discovered that simplicity is not a word one would associate with this movie, and the unfolding layers of the film definitely take it somewhere. What is most refreshing about the film is that the viewer is brought to a place of ambiguity, and I have always found that which is ambiguous to be the most interesting. After 15 minutes however, one would fail to see this development. Another refreshing aspect of the film is the beautiful, young actress Angeline-Rose Troy. Although her dialog is limited, her gestures and expressions speak to her innate talent, and I kept wanting to see more of her in the film.
I rarely stop watching movies in the middle, but couldn't watch this for more than 20 minutes. It's absolutely awful. Horrible acting. The main actress is not particularly likable. Most supporting actors are even worse. Horrible dialog lines trying to shoehorn explanations of what's going on. Unfortunately can't judge the script, since I couldn't finish watching this.Ridiculously bad production. Random s**t covering scenes as the camera moves. Color balance jumping from bright blue to bright yellow between the scenes. Sound quality in outdoor scenes is garbage.Do not recommend.
