Review of Don McKay

Don McKay (2009)
7/10
An Excellent Bad Movie
21 June 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Unfortunately, this movie has fallen into the hand of very incapable play-writer. (Yet, at the end of the movie, Don's reply to the detective's comment of "You're crazy" : "No, I'm just lonely") does move me profoundly and make me remember this movie for the rest of my life!) The movie has good main actors and actresses, sadly they fall into the hand of a lousy director. Some of the scenes even make you feel they are performing in a comedy-film.

The camera-shooting and film-editing is poor enough to be graded "C".

However, this is one of the very very few bad movies that could attract me to keep on watching up to the end. Its plot is excellent in aspect of suspense and romance. And you know that the actors and actresses (they by themselves are excellent) in this movie could be spotted much more brilliant if given a better director. May be it is the reason why this movie's popularity has shot up drastically ( Up 1,303% in popularity this week according to IMDb's Moviemeter).

The release of this movie has rid the opportunity for other more capable movie-makers to produce a much better version: most people, having known the plot and story, would not watch a suspense / thriller movie a second time.
