Customer 1 The handwriting on the postcards was never brought up ?!? Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/03/24 Full Review Jeffrey P As far as mystery suspense goes, it’s watchable despite an unbalanced, quick paced plot that isn’t as clear as it could be early on, only to become plodding and too convenient in the second half while the twisted nature of the twist is more twisted than the twistedness of the twist itself in relation to the rest of the plot. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: Postais Mortiferos Assistido: 19-8-24 Elenco: @jeffreydeanmorgan @famkefatale @cushjumbohere Modelo: #policial #suspense Duração: 1h 44m Ano: 2020 Minha opinião: Um filme policial com um serial Killer como em colecionador de Ossos, Seven, Ressurreição,..... Neste filme temos Jacob (Jeffrey Dean) e Valerie (Famke Janssen) são um casal, quando a policia na França encotra sua filha morta com seu marido. E Jacob que é detetive nos EUA, viajar para reconhecer o corpo. Neste drama, suspense. Após reconhecer e perceber que a policia não tem nada e que não farão mais nada ele começa a investigar por si próprio. E para isso ele vai seguindo pistas eque o leva a outro país. Até descobrir que na verdade existem outros casais que também foram mortos e que a forma como os cadáveres são postos, elas representam uma obra este estilo lembra o filme Ressurreição que também recriava obras, porem de forma de arte ou Seven que era dos Sete Pecados Capitais. Lembrando que o casal foi abordado por um outro casal, onde fazem amizade. E o filme vai fazendo um paralelo com oque ocorreu com o casal jovem e o presente onde Jacob procura o assassino. Até que o serial envia postais e que na verdade a cada assassinato parte dos corpos são usados e membros sendo colocado na cenado crime de forma aleatória a cada novo assassinato. Até que Jacob descobre e consegue descobrir que na verdade o casal que imaginavam eram na verdade irmãos e que seu pai esta na prisão. E que ele oprimia seus filhos com estórias e levando a conhecer tudo sobre arte. E essa pressão causa neles distúrbios que os transformam nesses assassinos e sem medo de morrer. Até que se descobre tudo e que são rsponsaveis. Agora Jacob tem que salvar mais um casal da morte. E o casal pego. Assim Jacob consegue se vingar. Um filme que não deu a mesma liga que os outros aqui comentado. Um filme mediano, que não trouxe a mesma imersão. Roteiro e enredo mediano. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra opção. Nota: 5 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Anon A I wish I had THAT two hours back...... The twist comes in the middle, when you discover that who you thought would be the "KILLEES" are actually the KILLERS. I'd normally be concerned that that's too big of a spoiler--but in the case of this boring thing that put me to sleep, I'll let it stand. It devolves and turns into a one-dimension melodrama--and a fairly dull one, at that, once the mystery is removed. Besides, I just can't forgive Nagen for murdering Glenn. He'll always have some real retribution coming, in my book. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Matthew D Incredibly frustrating mystery that only gets solved by convenient clues out of nowhere. Director Danis Tanović’s crime mystery thriller The Postcard Killings (2020) is so stupid. It seems normal, but writers Liz Marklund and James Patterson just have random side characters talk to the detective with crucial information right at the end, so that he can figure out that the two killers are using pseudonyms. It even goes so far as to almost make a case for why incest should be normalized as a legitimate type of love. That is the villains’ perspectives, so take that with a grain of salt, but The Postcard Killings is incredibly dumb. Patterson always leans into formulaic murder mystery fare, but this one gets increasingly ridiculous and nonsensical, that it ruins all the suspense from the first two thirds of the movie. It skips around too much and I could hardly follow what was happening or who anyone was talking about with the scattershot editing. The Postcard Killings is a textbook example of how not to do storytelling because it will confuse the audience. American actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan is trying hard to be seriously invested and concerned as Jacob Kanon. Morgan is a great actor and has his compelling emotional moments here and adds some gravitas. However, he cannot entirely save a dull movie. He does nothing other than talk to a few investigators around Europe. Morgan must have gotten an easy vacation and paycheck for this because he’s given surprisingly little to do to solve this case. Dutch actress Famke Janssen is unrecognizable as Valerie Kanon and randomly solves the murderers’ backstories just on the side out of nowhere. British actress Cush Jumbo, yes that is her name, is so boring as journalist Dessie Lombard. She adds almost nothing here. German actor Joachim Król is interesting and engaging opposite Morgan as German Inspector Klaus Bublitz. English actor Steven Mackintosh is equally engaging as English Inspector Rupert Pearce until he mostly disappears. English actress Naomi Battrick seems charming, then just does a Mia Goth impression as Sylvia Randolph to be more strange. Irish actor Ruairi O'Connor is pretty passive and forgettable as Mac Randolph. American actor Denis O'Hare is very creepy and irritable as Simon Haysmith. Swedish actress Eva Röse is gorgeous as the strict Swedish police Detective Agneta Hoglund. I loved her here like Morgan, but she hardly helps the investigation. Dutch actor Dylan Devonald Smith does what he can to appear creepy as the odd traveler man Pieter, who meets the main couple alongside Dutch actress Sallie Harmsen as Nienke. Editor Sean Barton cuts all over the place between countries, time, and people, so I was thoroughly confused when and where we were watching. Cinematographer Salvatore Totino shoots The Postcard Killings like an NCIS episode. Rocky Evans’ lighting is standard with a bit of moody lighting and shadows here and there, but not enough for a dark crime mystery story like this one. Composer Simon Lacey’s music is not eerie, nor exciting enough for this narrative. Nigel Egerton’s costumes are very chic and modern at least. Overall, The Postcard Killings is not worth your time, not even as a fan of the cast or James Patterson’s writing.
