Click Here To Watch Ferocious (2012)

Review

Kim Coates gives a twoforone stellar performance in the film. Amanda Crew is terrific too as is Michael Eklund. I found the screenplay well written and very well delivered making for a relatively fast 93 minutes a fine fulfillment of the thriller's vision. Director Robert Cuffley's treatment of the story's monitorandmirror motif definitely 'dark' in tone (much of the film is set in a dimly lit nightclub after hours) becomes very big on the big screen if we are paying attention we recognize this 'monitor' as a mirror (and that any mirror can itself be a "mirage" as much as a monitor can). And to me an upclose andpersonal look at this reflection of archetypical truth contextualized in clever and at times comical narrative worth an evening's and a few dollars' investment.
