Triage (2009)

Triage: Directed by Danis Tanovic. With Colin Farrell, Jamie Sives, Paz Vega, Kelly Reilly. The wife of a photojournalist sets out to discover why he came home from a recent assignment without his colleague.

“This movie is basically about how even a photojournalist(Colin Farrell) who is a vet at taking pictures of war and death can be traumatized. The story starts off with a very ambitious journalist and photographer that sees the horrors of war with his partner and best friend. The thing is at first I just didnu0026#39;t think the stuff he went through in the beginning section of the movie would be enough to traumatize a person like the photojournalist in the movie. But there is enough flashbacks later on to show the reason why. I personally thought it should have put more emphasis on the horrors of war and the part about the photojournalistu0026#39;s wife figuring out the change in her husband seemed to drag. Also some of the situation just isnu0026#39;t all that believable, and believability is a key factor for a movie like this. And most of the story revolve around digging into the photojournalistu0026#39;s mind because of his change in character and the change in his character isnu0026#39;t anything all that terrible. It starts to pick up and get a bit interesting when Christopher Lee who is basically a psychologist in this is put into the equation. And the digging of the mind got interesting and this movie has some good parts. But the direction and everything else isnu0026#39;t all that well made in a professional manner and just seemed like a work done by a novice. Now not all movies should look professional in order for it to be better, but this is the type of film that would have been better if it went that direction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e5.5/10”
