The Postcard Killings

Great movie. Though [spoiler] allowing them to walk off in the end made absolutely no sense. Especially considering they murdered his daughter & he was a police officer - no matter the jurisdiction. [/spoiler]

Enjoyable movie, no major twists or "I didn't-see-that-coming" bits.
8/10

Great movie with some nice twists.

One of the best serial killer concepts I've seen in a movie in a good while, but it could've been executed so much better.

Big fan of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but this isn't a good film.

'The Postcard Killings' should be full to the brim with vigour and vitality as the plot involves a mystery that takes the characters across Europe. Unfortunately, it's extremely dull from start to finish. It's not anything necessarily terrible, it's just the uneventful feel to things hampers this 2020 release hard.

Morgan gives a solid performance, though I kinda wanted more from him - at times he kinda felt miscast, if I'm honest. I'm not fully sure if that's the case or not though. The support cast are fine if forgettable, the minor standout behind Morgan is Naomi Battrick; who I recall seeing in a few early episodes of television show 'Jamestown', which I found to be equally as uninteresting as this.

This needed a quicker pace and more action, without that it's a disappointment.

Has all the good stuff set up: interesting premise, interesting potential twist, good actors... But it falls incredibly flat in the second half. Characters suddenly knowing stuff out of nowhere, jumbled mess of a plot, wooden dialogues when we finally found out about the killers, and, worst of all, what an anticlimactic ending especially for a movie about "art". Should've stopped watching when they revealed who the killers are.

It wanted to be Se7en but was only a 2½.

The story of an American detective solving his daughter's murder in Europe ends its first act with a WTF meant to be a twist and then spirals downward like flushed toilet water.

The cast give it their all but I knew as soon as I saw the quick zooms in and out of the detective's map that I was in for a bad 80s wannabe.

This movie didn't have a messy ending like some are saying, it had a messy everywhere. It was like they were trying to cram 4 hours of content into around 2 and just failed horribly at conveying most of that info in anything other than a speed by way.

One of those movies where you can tell within the first 2 minutes that the movie is sh*t. Directing and cinematography are atrocious. Stupid camera angles, blurry shots, jiggling the camera - like a movie film student experimenting with the camera for the first time. Has a decent plot thanks to the book from which it is adapted.

Postcard from an audience member: You'll Wish You Weren't Here!!!

This a muddled mess of a movie from a once great director.
