The Stranger

At all.

I'ld like to point out (since some don't see the idea behind all those numbers between 1 and 10), that 6 is a GOOD score! It means it wasn't great or brilliant, but good enough. And this was.

I read a lot of bad reviews that seems to me they have a problem about it not being 'realistic', like this couldn't happen in the real world. This to me, is not a valid complaint. Not every movie is Schindler's List.

I say this COULD happen, but it's definitely not plausible. But that's why it is a thriller series, not a documentary. It was clearly designed to entertain, and not to be deep. And entertain me, well it kinda did! The story is a classic thriller concept (which I happen to like), and nothing new at all. But then the way it unfolds, and the places it goes were pretty new to me and just surprising enough.

Definitely not a must see, oh no. But if you're in the mood for this kind of old school style thriller to be entertained, I see no reason why "The Stranger" could not cure that itch.

This *movie* is surprisingly good. I'm surprised, but i actually agree with the 6.2/10 (although it should be a little higher) but seriously, what's wrong with this *movies*. I thought that this was very enjoyable with good suspense seen, one of my favorite intro scenes. It contains great mystery and will leave you guessing until the last 30 minutes. Some people gave the *TV show* low scores in 2020, and I want to know what they cut out, cause by the end, I wanted more! The practical effects were honestly mid, but story, as unrealistic as it gets, is more than interesting enough to undo the negatives. The ending was satisfying, too.

TLDR: Good original story, with mid effects, good suspense, two great actors, and decent ending. 7/10 (obviously)

Very cheesy and bad acting except Dane DeHaan and Avan Jogia. The story is very impossible yet it is watchable just kind of stupid.

Pretty good B list thriller. It would've done really good in 2016-2018. Dane DeHaan is an amazing actor as always and did very well with the dialogue that was given to him, arguably not well written. Definitely was adapted from a Wattpad novel or something, it just gives off that vibe. However, the director and cinematographer did a very good job at making the film look good and modern. The story gets kinda all over the place and will leave you questioning "why didn't 'that' happen?" or "why didn't he just end it here?", which is why I rated it a 6/10 which is the max I think anyone can give it.

Honestly, the show is okay. Its entertaining, not terrible. But I had a difficult time believing anything in this show would actually happen. The acting wasn't that good. The writing was biased and pretentious. The baseline was creative but then it was given to writers who had no clue what the hell they were talking about. Honestly it's a nice time killer during a pandemic, but that's it.
