Star Cast: Robert Pattinson, Skyler Gisondo Director: Lance Oppenheim Primetime Movie Review Synopsis: PRIMETIME is the story of an ambitious television personality. The year is 2006. Chris Hansen (Robert Pattinson) is a television journalist working for NBC and the host of the show To Catch A Predator. With the help of producer Andie Bender (Merritt Wever) and Xavier Von Erck (Matthew Maher), the eccentric leader of the online civilian vigilante group Perverted-Justice, Chris introduces a new format on television, in which suspected online child predators are lured to suburban decoy homes rigged with hidden surveillance cameras. The operation also requires an adult who can convincingly pass off as a minor. Twenty-three-year-old Dan Plumb (Skyler Gisondo) fits the bill and joins the team. The bosses at NBC are impressed by the shows ratings and decide to give it a coveted primetime slot. Chris is on cloud nine, but his joy is short-lived as the shows growing popularity also brings increased pressure and scrutiny. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Primetime Movie Story Review: PRIMETIME is adapted from the 2007 Esquire article 'Tonight on Dateline This Man Will Die' by Luke Dittrich. Ajon Singh's story is inspired by real-life events and is quite fascinating. Ajon Singh's screenplay is a mixed bag. While some scenes are exceptional, several sequences fail to make the mark. The dialogues are okay. As it happens with most films released by PVR Inox Pictures, there are no subtitles and hence, some dialogues might not be easy to comprehend. Lance Oppenheims direction is stylish. What stands out about the storytelling is the manner in which several scenes are presented like an investigative television show from the 2000s. Hence, expect harsh CRT monitor blues, bleeding VHS tones, surveillance-camera footage and extreme close-ups. The narrow 1.50:1 aspect ratio also works well in this regard. The manner in which the team goes about exposing the predators makes for an interesting watch. Dan Plumbs character and his dilemmas are also presented effectively. On the flipside, the interest levels dip at several points. The track involving Chris personal life fails to engage. Moreover, the narrative style is quite niche and, hence, may not be everyones cup of tea. The finale is intriguing but also feels a bit abrupt. Primetime Movie Review Performances: Robert Pattinson rises about the shortcomings of the writing and delivers a performance that is nuanced and effective. Chris's cold narcissism and an insatiable lust for ratings comes across very well on screen thanks to Robert's performance. Skyler Gisondo has a crucial part and delivers a fantastic performance. Merritt Wever and Matthew Maher leave a huge mark. Phoebe Bridgers (Del Harvey) is okay and doesn't get much scope. The same goes for Anna Faris (Mary; Chris's wife). The actor playing the Murphy police chief and child predators do well. Primetime movie music and other technical aspects: Ari Balouzian's music is sinister, as per the film's mood. David Bolen's cinematography is one of a kind. Alex DiGerlando's production design and Alex Bovaird's costumes are realistic. Daniel Garber's editing is functional and could have been sharper. Primetime Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, PRIMETIME boasts of a fascinating premise, stylish treatment and a terrific performance by Robert Pattinson. But the uneven writing, niche narrative and lack of consistent engagement restrict its impact.

Star Cast: Brad Pitt Director: David Ayer Heart Of The Beast Movie Review Synopsis: HEART OF THE BEAST is the story of a man surviving against all odds. James Belmont (Brad Pitt) is a retired command sergeant major who is flying his seaplane through the remote regions of Alaska. Giving him company is his dog, Odin (Uber), who served as a combat scouting dog during James war days. Odin lost a leg in combat and now wears a prosthetic limb. James developed a deep fondness for him and eventually adopted him. James is travelling through the wilderness, with no humans in sight, and is managing fairly well. However, things go downhill when his health deteriorates and his plane crashes. James survives the accident, but the nearest human settlement is 58 miles away. He and Odin now have to cover the entire distance on foot while battling harsh natural conditions and encounters with wild animals. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Heart Of The Beast Movie Story Review: Cameron Alexander's story is not novel and yet, it is intriguing. Cameron Alexander's screenplay is engaging. Despite Brad Pitt being the only actor, the writing is such that one is fully involved with the proceedings. The dialogues are minimal, while the monologue is lovely. David Ayer's direction is unhurried, which is a departure from some of his hyper-macho and mass-appealing films. The setting and the protagonist are introduced beautifully, and in no time, we get immersed in James world. The various encounters he goes through are memorable. But what takes the cake is his bond with Odin. In fact, the dogs characterization is one of the films strongest and novelest aspects. The portrayal of a canine suffering from PTSD is particularly unique and adds considerable emotional depth to the narrative. On the flipside, the film gives a dj vu of CAST AWAY [2000], THE REVENANT [2015], etc. A little more explanation was needed as to why James undertook this journey in the first place. The makers smartly dont reveal the year in which the film is set, and it probably doesnt take place in the present day. Yet, one does wonder why James doesnt have access to a mobile phone or even a satellite phone, which could have helped him call for assistance. Lastly, the buzz around the film is quite limited. Heart Of The Beast Movie Review Performances: Brad Pitt is terrific and the manner in which he displays his physical and emotional vulnerability, while ensuring the performance doesn't go overboard, is exemplary. An Oscar-nominated-worthy performance for sure. The dog, Uber, deserves a mention for sure, as his performance is remarkable, to say the least. J K Simmons (Watkins) is decent in a supporting role. Anna Lambe (girl in the pickup) is memorable. Heart Of The Beast movie music and other technical aspects: Jared Michael Fry's music is minimal yet very impactful. Mauro Fiore's cinematography is breathtaking. The locales of New Zealand are captured beautifully by the lensman. Greg Berry's production design and Amanda Neale's costumes are authentic. Dody Dorn's editing is functional. Heart Of The Beast Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, HEART OF THE BEAST is an engaging survival drama that benefits immensely from Brad Pitts terrific performance, breathtaking visuals and the touching and novel characterization of the dog. Brad Pitts presence gives it an added advantage in India, but in a crowded release period where AVENGERS ENDGAME: ENCORE is expected to dominate, HEART OF THE BEAST will need strong patronage from its target audience to make a mark at the box office.
