The Ice Road (2021)
Emergency response?
In the final scenes at the mine; the CEO (who has responded by limo (?) to the mine disaster) is invited, after a cordial welcome, inside for coffee and hot food. A mine catastrophe will garner a massive EMS response. The skies are clear, yet no EMS helicopters, Mine Safety Response Teams, government officials or news teams.
Why was the well head needed? The well head is set on top of an open pipe, but there is no release of methane gas through the new head. Also, the well head is set on top of a pipe that is not topped off, air would have been exchanged to the miners without a well head.
Prodigy (2018)
Almost
Mr. Leon and company ALMOST made a good film.
Production quality is very strong. Oregon woods, shot exceptionally well. Drone filming, static scenery, lots of natural light. Continuity smooth. Comfortable editing.
However, the pace is slow. The script is tolerable. The delivery, by actors who may have wanted to do more, is plodding and tone deaf. "Prodigy" is like a well produced (technically), long, student film.
As in another review here, "Midnight Run" meets "Knowing" at a sermon.
