Sunrise is directed by Andrew Baird, remember how I said in my review for He Went That Way where it felt like it was done the night before a school project was due? Well it seems like I have to apologize to He Went That Way because Sunrise somehow manages to feel like a project that was started and finished one hour before the project was due.
What caught my attention was the cast, Alex Pettyfer and Guy Pearce are for whatever reason in this movie, what’s worse is their performances aren’t even good, it’s the very definition of phoning it in because you need a paycheck. The very first scene is some guy going on a rant about the melting pot in America, yeah for whatever reason there’s a lot of racism towards Chinese Americans in this movie none of which really have much to do with anything.
That seems to be a common theme with this movie show a bunch of scenes that have very little to do with anything, it’s very poorly put together and ends up being a jumbled mess that makes no sense at all. It’s supposedly a vampire movie and even the scenes with the vampire are terrible, again the scenes are so poorly together that it’s incredibly hard to make out what exactly is going on here.
Look I understand this movie quite clearly had a low budget but that does not excuse the movie being edited so atrociously that you can’t understand what exactly is going on. It’s hard for me to even really discuss, all that I know is that the acting is terrible, the direction is nonexistent and the story is a giant mess from start to finish. Worst movie of the year so far.
Sunrise is available on all VOD platforms.
