Screenplay of Collide is possible for occurring in a civilized state. At same time in around of one restaurant gathered an abused woman who wants to revenge for her humiliation to one person by exploding a whole place, a worker of that stinky canteen is going to start a new life by selling bags with drugs and a desperate man who saddened by cheating of his wife.
Ladies and gentlemen – a shaking cameraman. I can’t see a point in that constant jerking. It’s not credible for look as a documentary, a home video footage or whatever was on mind. A camera does twitching even when characters sit without making movements.
At least a director knows what he is doing and sometimes his staging can be interesting. He was capable for suspense at the first time, but then it was demonstration known methods and later to understanding how an episode will end. A guessable and mostly cases of suspense with a character on whom I didn’t care. That man in hiding drugs can knock off a food inspector who exposed him and that who with a tricked husband are only characters for attraction. In what part of America it goes where almost all are disgusting personages? It would make understanding in some of third-world countries where that story is more possible. Maybe all of them are left-wing, because current supporters are very aggressive.
Kat Graham’s personage who wants to blow out the whole restaurant with herself tells an illegible story of her humiliation with implausible consequence in becoming an alcoholic. It willn’t clear on what crime activity was about. Ryan Phillippe’s hero has far-fetched tale that he hadn’t clue that he was dragging a person in driving a car despite heard him. I wouldn’t believe to him. That bomb under him can give a chaotic. Eighty-one minutes on timer does jumping to forty-nine (that shot presumably for later appearance.) and then to seventy-four minutes. Twelve minutes left, characters of Phillippe and Graham have conversation in three minutes. Come back to them after other parallel scenes shows the timer with eleven minutes.
Acting is one delight in this film with unsophisticated screenplay. The restaurant’s worker surprisingly survives the explosion with oddly sounds of playing piano. It turned to solution did killing of people to whom he wanted to sell drugs and a gang with his brother in a lead with whom had a confrontation. His pregnant girlfriend who hesitated one time on selling, but she was ready on do that for start anew and potentially kill many people if deal went as planned. Behavior of husband and few words to his wife after explosion gives submission that nothing extreme was. I’m only thinking on the food inspector on whom the director must have forgotten.
