A burden on the viewer?


Beast of Burden (2018)

Directed by Jesper Ganslandt this film stars Daniel Radcliffe, Grace Gummer, Pablo Schreiber and Robert Wisdom. A pilot flies drugs into the US with pressure on him from both the drug dealers and law enforcement.

Essentially this is a sexed up but worse version of Locke (2013) with out any concrete. For all the action and criminal stakes we never really connect with the characters which negates using such a limited, closed in setting for most of the film. The majority of the film is a poorly lit cockpit so this is not a great film to look at either but its not the worst 90 minutes you will ever spend either.

3/5
