Here is a movie that was striving to be great but only managed to be slightly above average.Everything about this movie should have made for 10 star reviews.The cinematography was beautiful but not stunning…and i didn't even notice it till three quarters way through the movie.The acting was the biggest disappointment.None of the actors seemed like they really wanted to be there…being those characters,feeling those emotions.The lack of strong emotion is why this movie failed to be great.The plot ,without the appropriate emotions to drive it,became forgettable.The closer to the end,the better the movie was,yet it was too little ,too late.Still above average,i just wont see it again…
Allow me to tell you that this movie will give you delight because of the actors but will give you anger because of its dull, nonsense story line.
From the first minutes, I thought that this movie is worth it. Once I saw the faces of the leading actors acting in their natural way I was already starting to get hooked but as the story progresses I was slowly losing my interest to it. I only finished it for the sake of having it started. What makes this movie worse is the poor cinematography and poor script resulting in a dull, unemotional scenes. I was expecting more emotions especially that it came from a novel but sadly the creators didn't meet that expectation of mine, but only the actors, I salute them for giving a superb performances, especially for Maisie Williams for making me hate her role.
I do not want to give any more plot points that made me dislike this movie. If you want some fast-paced, thrilling movie then see it for yourself but if your interest requires a distinct, sensible story line then don't waste your time watching this.
I rate this 6 out of 10
Heatstroke should had change its title to stroke. This movie gave someone in there twenties a stroke.The dialogue was really bad, and pretty much everyone sound like a bad D list movie.All the characters in this movie were playing dress up. Maisie Williams is an overrated actress, like I said before she a female version of Johnny Depp.She does not have much acting skill. The reason she gets praise because people look into her eyes, and get lost.She mesmerizes the audience with her eyes.Maisie makes the same freaking faces in every film just like Johnny does.The character she plays is Josie. Joise was just an annoying, and whiny brat.You could see why her parents divorced. The animals are the only ones know how to act.The acting was so bad that even the English voice actor for naruto had better acting skills. Everything is fake in this movie like Shia Labeouf's acting.
I can tell you right off the bat that I'm not going to write 10 real lines for this excuse of a D-movie!
I'm just going to tell you that the characters are a joke and that the only actor that does a decent job is Dorff. That Russian actress is a joke – who the heck did she sleep with to get that role?! Stormare is on screen for maybe 5 minutes in total and Dorff is only in it for about half the duration… Oh and Dorf holding a gun on the cover/poster is purely for marketing purposes – he's not even touching a gun in the movie itself. Guess that's 10 lines which is 10 too many for this crap! AVOID!!
