Collide Movie Review

IN A NUTSHELL:

The movie follows a group of characters as their paths intersect over the course of an evening at a restaurant in Los Angeles.

The film was written and directed by Mukunda Michael Dewil.

 

THINGS I LIKED:

  • Jim Gaffigan!  He’s an unexpected member of the cast.  I love his stand-up comedy.  He has been in a few movies in dramatic roles in recent years, and does a fine job in this movie, although I just want to laugh when I see him.  Poor guy…he was stuck in a car for the entire movie.
  • Other cast members feature Ryan Phillippe, model/singer Kat Graham, Aisha Dee, Drea de Matteo, Dylan Flashner, Sky Liam Patterson, and David Cade.
  • Collide is the name of the restaurant but it also describes what happens in these characters’ stories.
  • What is the name of that cool-looking flower/plant on the restaurant table?  Does anyone know?

 

THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE:

  • It’s a little slow-moving as we wait to see what happens with each storyline.
  • It’s frustrating that most of the problems in the various stories are blamed on the White Man.
  • The CGI looked super fake.
  • The ending didn’t show us exactly what happened to everyone involved.  We just have to assume certain things.
  • Some of the dialogue is heavy-handed.
  • The plot lines are often ridiculous.

TIPS FOR PARENTS:    

  • Profanity and F-bombs
  • Sound effects from an affair on a tape
  • Talk of murder
  • Talk and images of cocaine.

 

THEMES:

  •  Living in the past
  • Revenge
  • Racism
  • Consequences
