Encounter poster

One of those films that presents itself as a genre film, but clearly aims to be a drama. Once Pearce has made the setup clear, the rest of the film is one big "fake or real" mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end. At least, if you're willing to go along with it, I didn't really care either way.

The presentation is pretty slick, performances are strong and the pacing is on point. There's a good film hidden away here, I just didn't care much for the genre deception. This past decade a lot of films have tried similar things, and it never really works out. It's a shame, because Pearce shows lots of promise.
