Till Death

This straightforward romp focuses its attention on its cunning and no-nonsense scream queen. And what Fox lacks in dramatic prowess, she makes up for in pure, wicked magnetism.

In spite of its icy backdrop, the part home-invasion chiller, part murder-mystery Till Death could prove to be the actual summer movie you’ve been craving for a while: undemanding, a little silly, but a thoroughly engrossing and handsomely paced edge-of-your seat experience all the same.

This thriller plays, with realistic real-time problem-solving, melodramatic near-misses, violence and suspense. We fear for the heroine, even if she’s not nobly heroic, and fret over her strength and cunning even as her resolve never wavers.

Even as the twists and turns get ever more preposterous . . . Dale’s direction and Fox’s commitment go a long way toward making Till Death a glossy, entertaining lark. Just maybe not one with anything of substance to say about marriage as its cheeky title suggests.

The final result is about as much of a time-passer one could make with this script and what must have been a small budget.

I really liked the movie the acting of actress Megan Fox has improved a lot. I confess I'm surprised.

Slow to start, subpar acting from the lead, but a genuinely interesting movie nonetheless. It is an engaging thriller with a little too many twists but it's a good way to pass the time.

I normally start to write my thoughts down about a movie before it even finishes. Mostly so I can keep things fresh in my head, i.e. the use of the score, the acting, the filming etc. Then I can put a review up right out of the gate after I finish watching it. I couldn’t with this. It’s been a little while since I viewed it and I’m still not sure what I think. It’s so greatly atmospheric, evenly paced and well set - but I feel like there is so much missing that could have been added to film without weighing it down. A slight bit more back story or exposition. The decline in the relationship needed more explanation. The idea that the husband was always just “bad” could have been more of a plot point. The position that the audience is put in because of what we’re missing is arbitrarily polarizing. You are either rooting for the lead because they are an unhappy married woman - or - hoping she meets a bad ending because of the path her indiscretions have set her on. You get just enough information to to make a decision as to where you stand and then all hell breaks loose. I don’t know if I liked this or if I could recommend it, but I can tell you I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. It’s gripping and grizzly…and I while I can’t stop thinking about this movie I’m not putting myself through that again.

This movie has good atmosphere and a pretty cool concept but it’s just offset by the poor story, execution and bad acting. Megan Fox did alright as the lead but when she’s one of the best actors in the entire film you know you have a problem. The dialogue was also almost laughably bad in some scenes and felt very wooden and unnatural. Furthermore as always Megan Fox’s makeup was perfect and really didn’t fit the gritty feel they were going for. I could predict how it was going to end pretty early on when the movie was dragging so for me it wasn’t that suspenseful. I wouldn’t recommend you watch this movie unless you’ve got some time to kill over the weekend or something as it’s not that long and it can be some mindless fun. Other than that it’s just sort of underwhelming which is a shame. Edit: also Megan Fox’s character gets hit in the face multiple times and the most she ever gets from it is a little bruise on her cheek, it just makes no sense.
