Row 19 Movie Reviews

Well, it definitely was something else…

The synopsis for the 2021 thriller “Ryad 19” (aka “Row 19”) sounded interesting, and I also liked the movie’s cover. I had not heard about this thriller from writer James Rabb and director Alexander Babaev prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn’t know what I was in for here.

Well, this movie was unique. Let’s just call it that. But I didn’t find it particularly enjoyable or entertaining. The movie’s storyline felt like a collection of the writer’s nightmares penned down on paper and given to the director. Much of it didn’t really make much of any sense, and felt like random fragments shot independently by different directors that weren’t working on the same script. So there was a sense of chaotic randomness and a lack of coherent red thread throughout the course of the movie.

Visually then “Ryad 19” was good, but special effects and CGI is only worth so much without a proper storyline forming around them. And “Ryad 19” was lacking just that.

The acting performances in “Ryad 19” were good, despite the fact that the storyline felt like rubbish to me. I wasn’t familiar with the cast at all in this movie.

I didn’t finish this movie, because I simply gave up on the storyline as it fell short of capturing my interesting. So it was somewhat of a swing and a miss from writer James Rabb and director Alexander Babaev.

My rating of “Ryad 19” lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

Intriguing Russian thriller

This was am interesting watch with an intriguing story line that will keep you watching and guessing until the end. Acting is good throughout. Perhaps less gore than the average American horror movie these days, but more suspenseful. I enjoyed it.

No fly zone

This wouldn’t have happened if there was a no fly zone … alright let me stop myself right here. Because a) you may find this joke inappropriate (sorry for that) and b) it might not make too much sense in the future – which frankly I wouldn’t mind. A no fly zone can work anytime – for reasons not related to what some (many) call war.

That being said, let’s get back to what is important. This is a horror movie from Russia – no pun intended, which I reckon I have to say in this time and age. It takes notes from other psychological horror movies and it does try to copy the best of them. Does not really succeed all the way through, but it still maintains to be creepy and tension filled enough to work overall … if you let it that is. Suspension of disbelief … with a predictable story and an ending that you probably guessed right after the movie started … or somewhere in between (no pun intended)
