Missed the meadows

Miss Meadows (2014)

Written & directed by Karen Leigh Hopkins this film stars Katie Holmes and James Badge Dale. A prim substitute teacher who seems like she would be better off in the 1950s also kills criminals as a vigilante.

I have seen this film listed as both a drama and a thriller but it could also be a dark comedy, the problem is it fails to be none of these consistently. The film never hits a tone that it manages to carry all the way through, it is not funny enough to be a comedy but far to odd to be ever taken seriously. Katie Holmes is not too bad in the title role but much like the rest of the film I do not think she ever hits her stride either.

2/5
