Needs Work
Much like another commentor, I was invited to the Premiere by some Michigan friends who had heard good things about it. This was my first experience going to a movie premiere in the Detroit area, so my wife and I gladly burned three-and-a-half hours worth a gas to attend. Unfortunately, "Dark Tomorrow" was also my first experience in how uncomfortable it can be to sit through a bad film while surrounded by the people who made it.
The film tells the tale of John Wesley (Chris Moller) who wakes up after a night of boozing only to find that, not only has one year passed, but also he has killed his fiance' and escaped from prison, and he has no recollection of any of it. A news crew, shooting a story outside his house, gives chase, and John winds up running all over town for a good portion of the next fifteen to twenty minutes of the film. In one scene, he steals a car. Then it cuts to a different scene, then when it cuts back to John, he is magically running yet again. Where'd that car go? And what was the purpose of even having that scene in the film?
After a bit more running, John arrives at his friend Joe Freeman's (Mike Merna) house. Joe Freeman, in this past year, has written a book about John's bloody rampage, and after fighting with John and stabbing him in the leg, has no problem sitting down and telling him his recollections of the events of that fateful evening.
I don't want to give away more plot, because there really isn't much else until we get to the "twist" ending - an ending that is often used and rarely done correctly, and in "Dark Tomorrow," causes a state of confusion that borders on annoyance.
THE GOOD:
- There were two shots in the film that I liked. One is an interesting
THE BAD:
- The story is cliche' beyond comprehension, and filled with holes that
- I often notice in Indie films that directors feel they need to fill
- At one point, John (Moller) goes to a cemetary where he and his
THE UGLY:
- The lighting is also fairly typical of indie films - flat, even, and
-CONTINUITY - always a problem, it seems. Often, continuity issues can be forgiven as simple oversights. However, things like eyeline continuity (i.e. person1 and person2 are facing each other, talking. Cut to close-up of person1 talking facing the left - Cut to person2 talking to person1, but for some reason facing left as well) and the aforementioned plot hole with the car, are unforgivable sins, even for a first feature.
CONCLUSION:
As said, this was a first feature. John Goins deserves congratulations on creating a feature film. However, Mr. Goins, you're gonna need a bit more practice.
