Hostage Radio

Eddie Marsan doesn't do safe roles, does he?

The radio announcer is not only the culprit, but also gets his way. The police are not expected.

Began very badly and my expectations went from low to zero. Thankfully, it picked up a bit, and there was some tension to be had as the film went on. Still not a great film but it's largely thanks to Marsan that the whole affair becomes watchable.

Here's some feedback: don't put in so many WTFs and find a better ending.

It's [spoiler]#metoo[/spoiler] time [spoiler]again[/spoiler]... While the setting of a radio studio is not a bad choice for a thriller, I found little to be impressed by. Kinda hard to feel any compassion for a douché being held hostage and the same holds true for the motivations of the "antagonists"; not only are their actions questionable at best, it's also a terrible plan (which Mr. Douché is very aware of). I'm not sure about what the intent of this was [spoiler]by the few political lines and jabs probably to make people piss off at rich/powerful(/white) men[/spoiler] but personally I got pretty much everything I expected from the trailer...

In a world where radio stations are run by two people and don't have security details, who prevent visitors from carrying guns into the building [spoiler]and where the police does not investigate the vanishing of girls despite having clear leads[/spoiler], or in other words a gigantic plothole, the most silly revenge scheme ever is being executed by a bunch of mediocre actors. Which is a shame because I usually liked Eddie Marsan, but he doesn't seem to fit the role he was cast on in this one. Some gratuitious violence, but the escalation displayed was way too repetitive to be thrilling after all.

I don't like to say "I hate this movie" often, but Feedback somehow reaches that personal threshold of being a predictable and unlikable mess. The "villains" are extremely poorly written, while the plot boils down who can swear the most at the loudest tone along with ridiculous accusations that wouldn't sway a normal person. [spoiler]You're telling me these randoms from the outside, who have no proof of the main character "raping" some girl away, are able to force the main character to respond by what they really want him to say, but then proceed to be in disbelief when he actually says it? I'm sorry, but this is an example of poor writing.[/spoiler]

Calling this movie a "horror" or "thriller" movie is wrong. You could probably confuse this with a snuff film and it would have the same impact. This is nothing but a pointless shock movie. I do not recommend this to anyone. Watch anything else.
