a review of 驱魔人

大法师:信徒(台) - 评论

𝖍𝖔𝖔𝖕𝖙𝖔𝖇𝖊𝖗 𝖝 𝖘𝖚𝖓𝖉𝖆𝖞 𝖒𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖓𝖊𝖊 𝖊𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙𝖊𝖊𝖓: Green brings a couple of potentially interesting ideas to this, but the movie doesn't really do enough with them to either make it a compelling standalone viewing experience, or a companion to the original movie. I'm curious to see what other viewers might make of the general worldview/cosmology demonstrated here, as well as some of the faith/race/class-based implications of the casting and depiction of the two families in this movie. I can tell Green was going for *something* here, but I'm having a hard time articulating the precise point of view. Adding a star to my rating because Leslie Odom Jr.'s performance is good enough here that he momentarily fooled me into thinking that this movie might be about something instead of just a weak cash-in on a classic.
