The List (2013)
3/10
More like The Least
24 February 2014
The List isn't exactly boring, despite the slow pace. And a fair number of useless scenes. And the as usual annoying texts to read from a filmed computer screen.

It is however unsatisfying, considering the potential of the subject. It feels like the onset was the only idea in the entire story; nothing interesting or relevant happens from there. The characters are dull, and none of their actions make sense (except maybe when the main character decides to try and become number 1.) These people don't behave like human beings. The acting is pretty bad, and there was obviously no coffee available for the actors during the entire filming.

For these reasons at least, the suspense fails to build up and I found myself completely detached all along. As expected these days, there are also attempts at plot twists instead of a good, consistent and self-sufficient storyline.

Most disappointing, in particular for its lack of social development.
