How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Dr. RAul Armando Cruz-Cortes
5.0 out of 5 starsA powerful film by Melanie Laurent with another outstanding performance by Ben Foster!
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 27, 2023
One of those simple, still shattering stories that'll leave you believing there will always be a silver lining, the sliver of hope that life will not only go on without you, but because of you. This is a must see film by Melanie Laurent with another outstanding performance by Ben Forster.

3.0 out of 5 starsGalveston
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2023
It's not worth buying, which is usually my philosophy as in why pay a rental fee and then want to see it again so you end up buying it. It's a modern neo-noir or supposed to be. I found it very slow and not that engaging. Didn't really care if they made it out alive or not.

2.0 out of 5 stars VERY BLEAK
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 24, 2020
Verified Purchase
This film was described by some reviewers as being similar to a classic "film noir", but I disagree. I thought it was just a plain old Southern tragedy. It doesn't have the style of the classic noir films or a lot of the themes of that genre. I adore a good noir, but this movie was just damn depressing...so, so bleak. I really wish I had skipped this one! For a legitimate film noir try "Blood Simple", "Body Heat", "The Lady from Shanghai", or the 2 very best noir films: "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (the Lana Turner version), and "Double Indemnity"

2.0 out of 5 stars My opinion of Elle went to 0% !

My opinion of Elle just wanted from 100% to 0% - no. 1 it should have been marked as X - promoting prostitution & drug use & nudity & touristic homicide - basically trash ! Rather than spending the money to send back , I'll destroy it .

The Movie Guy
2.0 out of 5 stars It's your lungs
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 2, 2018
Roy (Ben Foster) is a hitman who is set up. He manages to survive and absconds town with a teen escort named Rocky (Elle Fanning) who has had a very rough life. Roy has dark spots on his lungs, smokes, and coughs. Rocky is more trouble than what she is worth and comes with baggage. However, what Roy and Rocky have in common is a desire to do the right thing in spite of their past.

The characters were realistically boring. Elle Fanning did a convincing job in a film that doesn't go anywhere. And what happened to the lung cancer?

Guide: F-word. Brief sex and nudity.

Hätte mir ein positives Ende gewünscht. Ich war richtig deprimiert am Ende und habe es bereut mir diesen Film angesehen zu haben.
