My Policeman is a movie that has the potential to become a complete blockbuster but has remained to stay on the surface level.

What’s good about the movie: All characters in the movie are in their own closet of sexualities, and the film is depicted in such a way that it catches them in the most intriguing manner possible.

What’s terrible about the movie: It fails to provide each character center stage, which does not provide the depth of the character. The movie is involved depicting the jealousy of the characters, which is more poetic than what is expected of it

Script Analysis

The plot of story is set up in 1957 in London, when owing to a person’s sexuality apart from being straight was considered a crime. Between the atrocities towards homosexuals, a couple rose in a triangle filled with agony and jealousy. My Policeman is about the agony people face in their day-to-day lives, which is well depicted on the screen. But critics and reviewers say it lacks lyrical content and script, which is essential for the storyline.

The story revolves around a man who hides his gender preference and another who is still on the verge of a decision, and when the two characters come together, sparks fly between them.

People review that the best art about the movie is how Patrick, one of the characters, comes into a dilemma that neither connects him to the outside world nor completely detaches from it. Yet, he hangs in there, with all hope of changing situations.

The essence of the time period is well-captured, where people treat two men of different gender preferences as criminals. The world also looks down upon them as monsters doing something considered taboo in the world. The movie’s dynamics are threatened when a wife is introduced to one of the characters, which also ends up emotionally affecting the viewer. Although there is supposed to be a plethora of drama and emotion in the movie, it still manages only to touch a surface level when it drifts from one point to another.

Movie Review

Harry Styles plays the part of Tom, who manages to handle the role well, especially where he is expected to be a muse. However, according to critics, David Dawson steals the show, and she manages to bring alive the dilemma in the most emotional way, which touches the sympathetic nerves of the audience. Another lead character in the movie is Gina McKee, who helps connect all the dots in the story. Emma Corrin plays her younger version, who does not get much screen time but does justice to her role.

Although the music helps the viewers feel immense in the plot, the cinematography remains average. As a result, many critics say it is an opportunity that needs to be better utilized to its full potential.

It is a no-brainer that 2021 and 2020 were the years of downfall for the movie and cinema industry. There were hardly any movies released in theaters, and even the ones released on OTT platforms were bleh and had no catching storyline or cast.

Although the cinema world has come out strong from its massive downfall in the last two years, some movies did not cut the mark, according to movie critics and audiences. So if you wish to know what movies to stay away from, here is a list of the most petite favorite film of 2022.

Senior Year

If you’re a fan of comedy, you can watch this movie, but we suggest you skip it because it follows a plot cringe comedy. Instead of this, you can even opt for ‘Peggy Sue Got Married, or Never Been Kissed, which you will enjoy better.

Father Stu

It is a Mark Wahlberg project which is about a boxer-turned-priest. But, unfortunately, according to movie critics and audiences, it looks more like a Pinterest or Instagram ad in which the audience shows no interest.

The King’s Daughter

This is a movie that is released after eight years of hiding. While it was expected to be a huge blockbuster, it remained, in hindsight, the worst movie. With Perce Brosnan and Kaya Scodelario’s center stage performance, people expected it to be one of the best movies of all time in the genre, but it turned out to be a structural mess from the very beginning till the end.

Blacklight

The bare minimum action and the minimal and rigid dialogue given to Liam Nesson were a disaster. When the lead actor’s part in the movie is dodgy, only a little can be expected out of the film. Liam Nesson is an excellent catch for a movie like this. Still, the delivery failure and the minimalistic cinematography managed to give the worst movie of his career instead of the Broadway Theater he deserved. The movie follows an action plot with some hints of political conspiracy. Also, the audience wonders why it is called the Blacklight in the first place.

The Bubble

The movie had a formidable cast with an unfiltered comedy mastermind. It also boasted some of the best writers in the Hollywood industry, but somehow it became a recipe for failure due to the timing of its release. It was released during the peak COVID-19 season. No one wishes to laugh at jokes in a movie when the entire world is in the middle of a pandemic. The Bubble was intended to be a comedy movie that expected the audience to embrace the new way of life. However, the internet disliked the genre because of the flat jokes and the chaotic disarray of characters.

Disputes between two groups of the Avengers led by Captain America and Iron Man regarding their opposing views on signing the Sokovia Accords culminated into the Avengers Civil War, a fight between Avengers group members. A guy named Helmut Zemo destroyed the United Nations where the bill was due to be approved and falsely accused Winter Soldier of carrying out the attack in an effort to seek vengeance for the deaths of his relatives during the Battle of Sokovia and eliminate the Avengers. This one will surely keep you glued to your seats.
