cyprien N @cyprien 6h this kept me guessing the whole time the tension never really let up, and i loved that. See more Laurel B @LaurelReviews 22h I really wanted to like this movie, but it ended up being a huge disappointment. It felt like multiple writers couldn't agree on which storyline to follow, so they tried to cram them all in instead. I can see what they were aiming for, but they never quite pulled it off. Several parts made no sense, especially how the main character kept getting outsmarted by the villains, only for it to end in a completely anticlimactic and unsatisfying way. It honestly felt like every scene was written to choose the most disappointing outcome possible. See more Gabriel S @Sanarel 5d 180 is a compelling movie that plays on a terrifying idea, but perhaps lacks bolder moves. Capitalizing on old beats, 180 holds up but the ending it a mix bag. The movie follows a impulsive father that, due to his inability to let go of trying to be right, ends up in a situation where his son dies by the hands of crooks. Spyraling into quilt, this father now seeks revenge. In 180, you will get a repetition of the same old beats of revenge stories. Someone loses a loving one, the Justice System fails, now this person wants justice at his own costs. So what is different in 180? Well, the setting. The story of 180 happens in South Africa, so I guess this contrast with a foreign (to common Holly/Bollywood flicks) is what sets 180 apart and keeps it interesting. Other than that, 180 is forgetful. The thrilling aspect of it is nice, but overall, the arc is generic and lacks innovation. It also lacks a stronger conclusion, sticking to moral choices rather than closure, somewhat a let down. See more Igor S @Igor_Sena Jul 5 Bad movie. It's almost as if they were making up outcomes as the movie went. Or going around in circles and not moving along, because they had no budget. It was extremely amateurish in that regard. This is all a shame, because i actually liked some (not all) of the cinematography. See more Brighton N @RT09904023 May 29 180 is a film that could've been something so much more: a beautiful look into the cinema of South Africa, published for the masses on Netflix. But, instead, it is just a completely mediocre foray into the thriller genre that lacks the stakes, gravitas, emotional connection, thrills, and more necessary to make a captivating thriller film.

It’s a story about blood and revenge and accountability. But at the same time this is very heartwarming about the love of my mom and father of their son and what they would do to avenge the wrongful death. Didn’t know any of these actors or actresses in this film but some pretty good acting in my estimation. It contains lots of action and drama and yes blood and killing and at the same time we're there at your heart. See more Read all reviews
