A mind-blowing 3-act screenplay
Adeline 2022-10-20 00:12:08
This is a film that draws your attention from the first minute to the last minute. All the three acts are in disparate styles. Every time you think it should go one way, it goes the other, and the plot is just wildly unpredictable and twisted . The lines are also written well, especially the story of the Scorpion and the Frog. In the film, Forest Whitaker already showed a strong potential in acting, and it was no surprise that he won the Oscar later. Stephen Rea and Jaye Davidson perhaps give their career-best performances.
