Sharp Corner

Sharp Corner
Un devoto padre di famiglia diventa ossessionato dall'idea di salvare la vita delle vittime dell'incidente stradale avvenuto all'angolo stretto di casa sua: un'ossessione che potrebbe costargli tutto.
Other reviewers are right, this is a slow film with little in the way of thrills.Is that all we want from films? I felt the practicality of Josh's actions. I admire that he began to prepare for the events that continued to happen in his life. When confronted by an impending disaster, most people don't, they ignore the possibilities rather than mitigate or prep for them. Even when living in a place that suffers frequent forest fires or tornadoes, or is prone to flooding or earthquakes, or other natural or man-made disasters, too often people don't heed the warnings. That corner is a man-made disaster, even if the events are only happening to the victims, the victims' loved ones, and Josh's family on their front lawn. And people who experience disasters go through the same PTSD. Ben Foster plays that well, maybe so painfully it drives us away from the film. I feel this movie deserves more attention. Not from critics, but people. It's a good life lesson.
