Not a bad film, but it lacked focus. We get four characters, each with their little tragic background story, who come together and cross each other's paths. It's not the most original setup, but when done well it usually makes for good cinema. That's sadly not the case with Upperdog. The performances are decent, but the presentation is rather dim and there's no real urgency. The stories start to meander and even though I didn't mind the open ending, I don't think it added anything of value either. The film is relatively short and the drama is decent, but there's too little to set it apart. Read all
