Although director Amamba still has the skill and experience in dealing with suspenseful tension, the film can only be empty because of its disorganized structure, and it can't make viewers feel worried or brought in. It feels like a piece of seemingly horrifying scenes are pieced together to try to control the emotions of the audience so that they will not be distracted. In terms of performance, Ethan Hawke still did not disappoint his fans. With limited space to play, he still tried to grasp the role and gave a wonderful performance, but all of this was also compromised under the loose plot structure. The halberd fell into the sand. Just relying on his performance, there is really no way to make it to the end of the movie.
In the basic narrative link, the film also has flaws. Amamba seems to have no experience or research on the procedures and details of police handling of cases, so in many sessions the audience will secretly wonder "how can they all live in the same room", or "this is beyond the ability of the police." ", so it almost made the movie that was originally like a piece of sand even more unbearable. Under the bleak light and shadow, in the soundtrack full of ominous atmosphere, "Regression" can be said to have all the elements that a thriller should have, except for the thin story and the inexplicable characterization. It's time to complain.
Perhaps because of its own subject matter, this movie is a depressing experience through and through.
"Regression" took a long time to explain what it feels like to be afraid of knowing something, maybe this explains why Alejandro Amenábar seems to have no idea what he is shooting.
