MYST #1 No Good Deed

No Good Deed, is a movie that came out in 2014, I personally really enjoyed the action and suspense of the movie. The movie stars Idris Elba who plays a man who escaped from prison and has a mental illness, and has a thing for killing women. He kills his ex-girlfriend because she did not wait for him. He crashes his car and stops at a women's house for help only to find out shes home alone with her kids. Taraji Henson plays the victim a women who feels abandon by her husband so when a man comes to her door she feels "sexy" because he looks at her, how she wishes her husband would look at her. The ending was the only part that I was disappointed about, im not spoiling it but I think it could have been more creative.
  The cinematic elements I was in this movie that stood out to me was the over all look was pretty good it left realistic, it was natural. The characters emotions felt real they did not look staged even though they were. There was not much lighting a lot of the movie was kinda dark but that fit the mood of the movie. It was not over done it had parts were there was light because the mood of the movie was easy and happy. The characters seemed like they did not need much editing they were in character very well and their mood played well through the whole movie.
  The scene that stood out to me the most was when Idris Elba gets to meet Taraji Hensons bestfriend played by Kate Castillo. Kate comes over to have a girls night with Taraji but meets Idris while sitting drinking wine she flirts with him, and when Taraji leaves them alone she starts wondering how they really know each other and with the pressure Idris feels he asks to get up and smoke, she gets up and follows him and Idris tells Kate that Taraji and him are having an affair, Kate knows something is not right and calls him out. but he get very upset and kills Kate. This scene is important because this is when you start to see Idris become crazy over the situation and you know things will turn for the worst. I do not want to give to much away because i feel like you have to watcch the movie to get the full experience.

  1. Good start with this. Nice job explaining some of the cinematic elements and the story, but it kind of feels like it could use a little more passion from you. Try to get into the story a little more, more of what you really liked or didn't like--just more voice would help.
