Carl J Unbalanced Pacing and Shallow Plotting: Assessing 'The Crime' While "The Crime" offers an intriguing premise and explores the psychological aspects of its characters, it falls short in executing a compelling narrative. The film's pacing is uneven, with slow moments that hinder the overall flow of the story. Additionally, the plot lacks depth and fails to engage the audience fully. The performances in the film are generally satisfactory, with the actors portraying their characters adequately. However, there is a missed opportunity to delve deeper into their emotional journeys and provide a stronger connection between the audience and the characters. One aspect that stands out in "The Crime" is the authentic depiction of the 1970s setting in Egypt. The film successfully captures the atmosphere and aesthetics of that era, adding a layer of realism to the story. Furthermore, the cinematography and production design are commendable, contributing to the film's visual appeal. The use of lighting and set designs effectively enhances the mood and tone of the scenes. However, despite these positive elements, "The Crime" fails to leave a lasting impact. The plot lacks sufficient twists and turns to keep the viewers engaged, and the resolution of the mystery feels somewhat predictable and unsatisfying. In conclusion, "The Crime" possesses potential with its interesting premise, authentic setting, and decent performances. However, its execution falls short in terms of pacing, narrative depth, and overall impact. While it may appeal to viewers interested in psychological dramas set in historical contexts, it may not captivate a wider audience. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
