General Order (2024)

Racy kiss scene and good actors can't rescue this slapdash drama.

Theres a slight ending spoiler in this review, just fair warning....

The plot was "not bad". I didnt like the vague open ended tragedy-ish vibe of the ending, but the story itself was kind of creative and had some fresh twists.

Screenwriters took that creative plot and doused it in mediocrity. Director took that mediocre script, and used it to make a drama that looks like they spent about a week shooting scenes for. Everything seems really loose n fast as far as direction: Actors lacked conviction of their characters, had not developed chemistry with one another, performances were tepid, action scenes were boring, sets and costumes were extremely 'typical'.... the director didn't care.

Then in the middle of this snoozer, theres a kinda racy love scene, with a french kiss and everything! But (and I cant believe i'm saying this) it wasn't really that hot. It was just curious and odd. Because it felt like the lead-up to it wasn't really there. ML/FL don't feel like they have much chemistry going with eachother. Once again, I blame the director, because both of these actors ARE capable of better, more electric performances. But no one can do their job when theyre being rushed, and that includes actors too.

What an absolute waste of a french kiss, my goodness.
