Review of Indigo

Indigo (II) (2014)
9/10
An Unconventional and Cerebral Thriller
16 December 2015
I had the pleasure of watching this movie on amazon.com and I was interested because I am a fan of Nicholas Brendon due to his work on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Criminal Minds." I have to say that this was a thought-provoking, engrossing movie and had me at the edge of my seat throughout the movie. "Indigo" kept me guessing about what would happen next in each scene and I enjoyed the unconventionality of its handling of its pivotal scenes. Despite consisting of very dark subject material, the film also handles it in an unconventional way, with it not being too dark or gratuitous to the viewer, having a satisfying amount of humor and leaving certain scenes up to the viewer's imagination. The director of this movie did a superb job, especially with his modern usage of social media and the mature, realistic portrayal of the main character's personal demons. The actors of this movie was well cast and were very realistic. I was impressed with the actor who played the main character, Eli, as well as the actress who played his wife. Of course, I also enjoyed Nicholas Brendon's character. Most of the movie takes place eight months after the major event, so no one can deny that coincidences can happen, even if it is aplenty. Coincidences has happened to me and I'm sure to you as well. My coincidence happened on a walk through a city where I chatted with two men while I walked on the sidewalk where the first was born in my hometown and the next man went to the same high school as me. This movie is worth the rental or purchase on amazon.com. I wish this movie would have gotten more recognition because this is the kind of thriller that Hollywood desperately needs. Out of 10 stars, I give it an 9.
