Collision (2013)

good back-story, and good acting

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

When I saw the trailer, I told myself that it has to be a good movie, and the presence of Frank Grillo was also one of the main reasons, he' one of my favorite actors.After the movie, I was really disappointed, there was only two minutes of action the the whole movie, and these two were on the trailer to attract people. The story is incredibly slow and predictable, it was quite boring, I almost fall asleep !! The acting was awful, except Frank. However, the idea of characters connected between them was a interesting idea, but the film maker didn't do wellEn conclusion, only watch this movie, if there's really nothing else interesting

I have no idea why this is rated so low. It's not earth-shattering but it's definitely worth watching. The acting is patchy but not the worst I've seen and the story itself is riveting. In the hands of a more skilled director, with better pacing, more suspense and better actors I think this would have been a top rater. But even so, the story and production is better than average and deserves to be seen. Awesome setting, great twists and turns, some very good action scenes. My biggest issue was with the fact that it was hard to like any of the characters which kills the suspense factor - if you don't like 'em you don't care what happens to them LOL. They needed to develop the characters more and at least make them sympathetic on some level. The only one they really succeeded in doing that with is Saleh but I never got the sense that he was in danger so there was no suspense around him either. Everyone else (except the baby) was fair game to me :) Brilliant plot, that really should have more praise, and nice acting from Roschdy Zem & the baby. :D

First of all, seeing the rating, I thought the film would be average, but when I actually saw it, i was impressed. It's definitely underrated. The film has it all - unpredictable plot, good acting, interesting characters, suspenseful moments etc. The actors were unknown to me, but they did a very good job. Although the film was shot pretty much in one or two locations, it didn't get boring because of the intriguing plot. Along the way, you learn more and more things about the characters and it's quite interesting to follow their story. I really don't know why this is such a little-known film. It was pretty intense from the beginning and I definitely recommend it to all drama/thriller fans.

I too had to make sure I had an account on IMDb to rate this movie. First of I have to say this deserves at least 7 stars out of 10 and that is considering all arguments thrown at it. Without a doubt you would have to ignore it's low ratings as that to me is misinformed.The plot is great, acting is superb even with the foreign actors in the movie who did amazing jobs and the Location perfectly suits the movie itself. I wont say too much so I don't end up spoiling it for those who have not seen it yet but rest assured this is one movie you'll seriously enjoy.
