Intense, weird, and disturbing thriller
SURVEILLANCE is an intense thriller written and directed by David Lynch's daughter, Jennifer Lynch. David Lynch is the executive producer of the film. Well, I must say she inherited her father's directing qualities in my point of view, because she did an excellent job with what seems to be a very low cost production. Few resources, excellent directing job (and writing as well)!The film is intense, weird, and disturbing at parts, but it is mostly an audacious and sarcastic critic to the American police and the way some officers behave When they are supposed to "protect and serve" the common citizen they are the criminals themselves! But that's just a part of the movie, the one before the main and great twist this film has. In fact, there's an excellent twist in this movie that completely changes the plot direction. The final twist made me score it with an extra point I must say
About the acting, there're some awesome performances: Bill Pullman (does a great job, especially after the twist); Julia Ormond; Pell James (very beautiful young actress, also does a good job); and the guys which play the local cops, especially the ones who did the patrols (they were funny as bad cops!).
Definitely it's a great job by Jennifer Lynch. I score it 8/10.
