Backtrack

Petroni, you're no Del Toro.

Top badass moment? If ever there was a perfect 70% film, this is it. Wow, trains in Australia travel fast around tight bends; the carriages must be full of vomit and spilt coffee. No wonder it crashes; it must've been doing at least 50mph around a curve that looked suitable for about 15. And the state of the rails, they were full of small buckles. At least it wasn’t operated by TfL, as the survivors wouldn’t even get their ticket money back if it was. No cats, chainsaws or decapitations.

I liked the suspense in Backtrack (2015). Far from a perfect way to go, but at least that aspect made sure one kept watching this memory loss thriller. Adrien Brody took his role seriously, but didn't get much to play off of. But overall a decent one.

characters had no motivations to what they were doing

Unusual, it feels like 2 episodes of a tv showput one after the other, but one wonders where things are going.

No idea WHY the evil character was evil, as this point wasn't explored at all, but this movie had some nice unreality. Not a big horror/paranormal buff, so take it as you will that I liked it.

I probably would never have watched this if Adrien Brody wasn't in it, & I definitely wouldn't have scored it this high. It's not bad, it's just not much of anything besides a mishmash of ideas from better movies.

Brody convincing ... the movie wasn't. My opinion here : http://opinion-as-a-moviefreak.blogspot.be/2016/06/backtrack-2015.html [Full review]

The mind can play cruel tricks on you. This movie exploits this but drifts a bit too heavily into ghostly apparitions to do so. Adrien Brody gives a flawless performance. There were several interesting twists & revelations. Overall, the spooky presentation was not entirely satisfying, & the final scenes leaned a bit too heavily on ghostly intervention. However, it was interesting to watch the mystery unravel. Great production quality & music.
