Hidden Agenda (2015)

Hidden Agenda: Directed by Aaron Warren. With Hans Hernke, Adam Barnett, Cameron Bigelow, Vania Mendez. Hunting a sadistic serial killer can unhinge even a true detective..

“Its clear from the off that Warrenu0026#39;s film is inspired by the like of David Fincher, hoping to weave a tight, emotional and tense serial killer story that would take an audience on one hell of a journey.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhilst the film has some good ideas, it unfortunately falls short on most of its goals.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film unfortunately doesnu0026#39;t look great, often out of focus and unimaginative in itu0026#39;s cinematography. But every now and then there is a flair or flourish peeping through. The odd shot that does a perfect job of telling the story well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe performances are generally flat with the exception of the detective who manages to create a fairly 3 dimensional and the reporter who gives a brave and venerable performance through out the film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe story chugs along, ticking the cliché boxes and doing everything youu0026#39;d expect it too and then every now and then it manages to pull the rug from underneath you with genuine twists I didnu0026#39;t see coming.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall Hidden Agenda isnu0026#39;t the worst indie flick Iu0026#39;ve seen, it has itu0026#39;s moments but I do feel like the film makers have better in them. I look forward to seeing what they come up with next.”
