Every once in a while I need to kick back and watch
something that is different than my normal selections. Last night I decided to
throw one of those into my weekend rotation. While I love straight horror,
sometimes a little Crime/Thriller action is needed. Next up for review is the
2014 thriller Open Windows.
Plot/ A jilted fan soon finds himself pulled into a deadly
game of cat-and-mouse after he accepts the opportunity to spy on his favorite
actress via his laptop.
This movie is perplexing to review. While there were some
interesting moments early on, but the final act was a twist that was not truly
needed. Couple that with some decent performances, an intriguing storyline, and
this was something that was different and thought provoking. Yes, there were
some head scratching moments, pacing issues, and some scripting moments (not to
mention the ending) that hurt the overall feel. In the end, this was decently
entertaining and a movie that will definitely fall into the love/hate category
of cinema. If you are looking for something to help pass some time on a slow
evening, give it a shot.
