1 review for The Shift
Not bad. I think it was a really cool premise and very interesting story. I don't think it was stellar. Many things hold it back like production value, the acting is hit and miss, the message is way too in your face most of time. To me, subtlety delivers the message more powerfully than in your face. Of course, you don't want to be too subtle, need to be clear enough to get your message across but subtle enough where the story and characters are given room enough to shine. The nod to Job's story should have been less obvious. Then they could devote more time exploring his character and the idea of shifting, instead that time goes into hitting you over the head with the message. Still don't think it was bad. Still very interesting premise. I really liked Neal McDonough here. I thought he did a great job. His parts were my favorite. 7/10
