Awesome Movie
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Five married guys conspire to secretly share a penthouse loft in the city a place where they can carry out hidden affairs. But their fantasy becomes a nightmare when they discover the dead body of an unknown woman in the loft, and they realize one of the group must be involved. The Loft unfortunately has a very good and talented cast that not only it doesn't know how to use them right but it doesn't also know how to use the characters to become, let's say interesting? The film is boring, bland and has an even worse twist at the end that was obvious..
Conversations, intonations, events - all is a banal copy of the 2008th film. The difference is only in the mimicry of the actors. Because the actors are different. That's all.
Great storyline if it is well acted, which this one isn't. Originally a Belgian movie, later better remade in the Netherlands (where I'm from). I absolutely love the Dutch film, I really hate this one.
I have a couple of questions after watching The Loft. The first one is why some people don't like this movie? If you wanted to watch a mystery thriller then this is what you got. There's no way in hell you could see the end coming. That's what makes a mystery thriller standing out from the rest. A good story with some twists you don't see coming. My second question is why do we need to remake a movie that has been made before and even better? I saw the Belgian version of 2008 before and even if it is the exact copy of this version the original was even better. So why spending all that money on a movie that already exists? Just put some subtitles under the Belgian version and you got an even better movie. Saves you money and time. And if you watched this version of The Loft to see Matthias Schoenaerts play in it than you could have watched the original version as well because he plays in both movies. That must be a premiere I think. Anyways, even though I preferred the original version I still think this one was also good. Good story with good twists and with a good cast. What else do you want on a movie night?
