Slow and methodical

This is a slow and methodical film that really isn't presenting anything new. It's almost a stream of consciousness type of film. What it does do, it does well. Most of the actors are really great, the editing could have been a little bit better. But there are some very well written thought-provoking lines, again nothing new but presented in a unique way. Personally, I like slow character driven films, if they're done well, and I think this one is. If you're looking for straight up Sci-Fi, action, a lot of special effects, this is not the film for you. The edits were a little slower than they had to be in some scenes, and a little longer than necessary, but other than that it was cool. The score was nice, not overdone. The two lead actors were good.

A Thoughtful Slow-Burn

"A Hard Problem" is an easy film to watch (tongue pressed firmly in cheek). Seriously, this retelling of Pinocchio - albeit from the end forward - is worth watching but be warned: you will need to pay attention (gasp)!This is a story about a boy who is not a boy who wants to be a boy but can never be accepted as a boy by the society that created him. Sure, it's a mouthful, and you're probably thinking "I know how this ends". And you probably do.Still, that's not the point of this picture. Getting to that end, this is the point. The first half-dozen scenes will seize you, I bet. Then, if you're like me, you'll expect a sizeable body count not to be. So, this isn't really a guy-flick so much as it is a human-flick.Watch and ponder a hard problem of the future that awaits your children. It's coming faster than you think.
