Surrender review
A whiff of David Fincher’s Seven lingers in the air but this moody crime drama from David Lipper is devoid of clever twists
TL;DR
- The film is a 1990s-style thriller directed by David Lipper.
- Dylan Sprouse plays a clever, enigmatic suspect, while Josh Duhamel portrays a detective.
- The plot involves the detective trying to find his teenage son, who has been kidnapped by the suspect.
- The film draws comparisons to David Fincher's Seven and Fight Club but lacks their surprise twists.
- It features a moody atmosphere, underlit cinematography, and a subsonic score.
- Themes of institutional and personal guilt, and the wrongs done to young people, are touched upon.
