Murderous Trance (2018) User Reviews

Interesting film based on a true story

[ulrik-69854 · 7/10 · 31 October 2018]

Is it possible to hypnotise someone to rob a bank? And can the hypnotist be judged for the crime? THE GUARDIAN ANGEL is based on a unique true story and that makes the film itself unchartable. The fine actors and the historical setting worked for us and we kept on discussing the thrilling plot.

Convincing

No pun intended - you'll get it and no I do not mean myself or my review of the movie (though feel free to be convinced by this or anything else I have written). It is about the actors/characters and their story arc. There are cliches for sure, but if you suspend your disbelief, you may not even care about them or any other (minor) flaw this has.

The cat and mouse game is quite interesting and takes us places we may not expect. Josh and Pilu (hope I spelled that right) are really going head to head. You may not agree with some of the methods used ... but maybe the end result is the answer to it all? Maybe not ... you'll have to wait and see .. especially hard for those who are curious I know ... still the end result can be worth your time ...

Excellent thriller

I must say it was much better than I excepted, as it was a totally unknown or marketed film so far. Josh Lucas was a very convincing villain. Definite must see. Besides "Vice" I would say this is the best film I have seen in a long time.

This is based on a true story which makes it even scarier. I am looking forward to the upcoming festival screening.

Gripping movie, wonderful faces

[sugardollmary · 10/10 · 3 December 2021]

I took a chance on this one and what a reward. The story fascinated me. But also, the actors' faces were shot so that lighting enhanced their features and wrinkles-and eyes. Except for Marie, whose face was white and smooth. What a contrast. These actors, these faces, the true story all combine for an unforgettable movie.
