Review of Wish Man

Wish Man (2019)
2/10
What Could Have Been
17 January 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This movie felt like a missed opportunity. The telling and execution of it are so disorganized and uninspired: Lazy script, weak casting, dis-organized storylines, and too many storylines.

Way too much of the movie was wasted on the bogus civil suit that ultimately was cleared up by less investigative work than a Scooby Doo cartoon.

The crash scene was an absolute disaster. After a pitiful exhibit of "CPR", a stranger with no known medical background, pronounces him dead. Even worse his partner takes her word for it and radios headquarters "Frank's gone.". Suddenly he just wakes up and is immediately back to normal. I think it is much more plausible that he suffered a concussion and passed out.

The love story was contrite and not nearly developed enough to be believable.

An angelic man whom rescues him as a boy and teaches him the importance of helping people, which ultimately becomes what he inspires to do, has maybe 3 minutes of air time.

I could go on... Some people will love this movie and cry and I can understand why. For me though i just couldnt take it's effort serious enough to be moved by it.
