Rupture (2016)

Too much of everything

Absolutely Brilliant!

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This could have been a pretty good movie. But somehow it just never gets around to hooking you into it. I had never really thought about it before but it may very well in this case have to do with noomi rapace. I've seen her in a number of different movies but it was finally in this one something odd I realized has been there all along, there is just something about her that makes you not really care or feel invested in her characters. The movie had a lot of potential for its creepy vibe and off kilter scenery but ultimately the characters just never gelled.

Lets face it, this is a different kind of movie than the average flick. Interesting theme/subject in that it plays with the idea of the Reptilians (overlords) are among us (in a way cool…….and funny). The movie builds slowly a capturing concept of "they want to change us". I understand why some think this is a slow movie, but I liked it……as a matter of fact "I loved it". If you are into Sci-Fi, conspiracy theory and a bit strange movies (spider phobia, snake phobia and phobia of closed rooms). This is the flick is defiantly for you. Lets face it, we are not alone (haha, big smile). Enjoy the movie

would have given it 10, but it is a B film & 10 for me means best I have ever seen this is about as good a horror film as I have seen, with the horror being torture for religious/political purposes, something already repugnant Noomi Rapace deserved an Oscar for her brilliant work as the torture subject & the story line with her as a struggling single Mom was brilliant the direction was tight as were the production values, though I think the transformation that gave its title a tad crude ...those who may abhor any torturing of women, may find comfort (¿if that is the right word?)in the male being held near her cell, whose travails teach her about her dreadful circumstances & seem even more dreadful than hers, though that may be only my perspective & cold comfort, particularly as his travails proved pointless I much prefer my sci/fi more scientifically sound, such as in the brilliant and more hopeful I Origins, which deserves a 10, IMHO that said Rupture is compelling and ultimately positive, albeit with a classically ambivalent coda if I can stomach a second viewing, I may revise my vote, likely up well worth a peak for folks who like viscerally immersive experiences in their horror flicks

Single mom Renee (Noomi Rapace) is alone driving when she gets a flat. Some men stop and kidnap her. It's a secret organization and they have more prisoners to conduct experiments on. Peter Stormare, Ari Millen, Michael Chiklis and Kerry Bishé play some of her tormentors.This seems like a small budget indie with not much in terms of writing or production. So it is very surprising that it has such good actors. Shainberg must have great connections. He got great actors in his other films despite not really proving much other than some experimental creds. I guess this has some outlandish aspects. It is not a simple slasher porn or a Twilight Zone sci-fi. It is not a grotesque bloody horror and there is nothing profound working here. It is a nothing indie.
