Final Destination 5


Final Destination 5: There was a scene, so many of these (OK, eleven) years ago, in the original "Final Destination". One of the characters that are accidentally "cheated death" and destroyed "death of grand design" was hiding in the cabin, which then had to be made disaster proof.
Sharp objects of any shape or form have been marked by the camera, as we, the viewers were made cringe and anticipate what terrible things can happen.
Over the next few years "Directions" got out of it, lost in nature, shrugged off the performance and gave up any thoughts subtext - the young people who believe that they are going to live forever suddenly busy mortality. Movies began to develop 3D-chain-reaction "accidents" that cause someone - a survivor, a policeman - ". It can not be a coincidence," to say
And someone else will say, "it is not."
Those "classic" crash in the closing credits revised "Action 5", images that we remember the characters we have not. This is a weak but well-made film script with a dull butter knife, dialogue and the actors cast for their "type."
Sam (Nicholas D'Agosto), is a young guy who makes his hunch, his ex-girlfriend (Emma Bell) and six other people to leave the bus before the bridge, they are destroyed. He saw the amazing 3D-blood-on-lens means they all die - impaled on the mast sailboat or a stack of re-bar, squished by a falling convertible, drowned in a bus.
But they did not even mourning their dead colleagues (they went to a corporate retreat) when the survivors begin to die. Death of diva Tony Todd ("Candyman") shows how the investigator, who explains that "You are a short death" and death always looks forward to the end of the disaster.
Two words for you - an accident acupuncture. Another two deadly LASIK. Death is made - ahem - with caution. It is a colorless performances, predictable conversations, which are largely to kill it.
There's a big scene out - Sam works at a good restaurant and kitchen full of things that can cut, crush, grind, cook, or burn you to death.
Development of output terminal drew more attention than the script symbols, or anything else. Without a moral component in the story, we just treated the surface effects and stunts murder and blood that make genre fans obediently shout and scream and applaud.
Screenwriter Eric Heisserer and director Steven Quale can pat yourself on the back for their semi-intelligent back end engineering. It is 85 minutes away, which precedes that "final" destination, that matters. This is not the worst of the bunch, not far away. But my hunch it will not be final in this series was shouting at these last few years. This decapitation train never seems to reach its destination.
