Rarely does an American movie, cast and directed so well, ascend towards such dizzy and incomparable heights as that of ‘Unthinkable’. With an initial start which gives the appearance of a laboured and meek piece of work similar to the blandness of ‘Lethal Weapon’, the script of ‘Unthinkable’ seems to suggest marginal effectiveness at first.
What, eventually develops, is a tight-ness in writing from Peter Woodward that could easily lead any audience shaken and amazed once its mesh of woven action and dramatic flair have long worn off.
Strength of the performances become so believable
With an intensely focused unfolding, ‘Unthinkable’ works on the basis similar to a play centred around an American born man who attempts to use intelligence and threatening blackmail towards the FBI in a direction which can only march towards disaster.
The script of ‘Unthinkable’ is somewhat paranoid in essence and yet the strength of the performances become so believable that along with unexpected circumstances and situations developing over the course of the film, ‘Unthinkable’ clearly demonstrates well, elements of massive intensity that are rarely experienced in movies from America.
Well written dialogue and top performances
The truly emotional imposing magnet that is extremely well written dialogue, as well as top level performances from the cast, cause any audience to consider some horrendous possibilities and over time just how impressive cinema can be.
Director Gregor Jordan should be highly praised for either understanding that although ‘Unthinkable’ must have seemed a tricky and challenging project to undertake, or in assembling such a worthwhile cast that the final outcome is truly magnanimous.
