Moviecut—Disappearance

A book- writing husband and his wife fed up in their relationship go on a boat trip with his girlfriend plus the boats skipper. Later the husband disappears. Was he murdered or did he jump etc? Who cares?! Everyone in this movie is dull and boring. The pace of the film is far too slow; there is no excitement or real interest. Only the ocean and beach scenes are worth any merit or a rating: 3/10.

You'll notice right away there's a problem with Disappearance. All 6 or so actors are about as natural as robots at delivering their lines. This does ruin what is otherwise a very well produced film. The script may not be worthy of Hitchcock but it's definitely believable and intriguing as a mystery crime thriller. The cinematography, editing and pacing is also quite good. The wooden actors do improve slightly as the film progresses with a couple of laughable dramatic exceptions. I'd like to see this movie redone with capable thespians. Nice effort though. Worth a watch for the decent plot.
