If you can't read the writing:
Plot:
Detective Carter (Beard) sits alone in his office thinking on the week’s events, it turns to a flash back where tempting Bonnie (Bradford) offers him a dinner date in exchange for info about a drug heist. He ends up falling for Bonnie and goes to visit the Boss, Bobby, behind these drug
dealings (Humberstone). Things quickly spiral out of control as a gun fight breaks out and Bobby gets shot. Only to reveal that the Carters new lover was the one behind the heist all along and just needed to get them both out the way long enough to get away with the money.
Review:
A morally challenging yet hooking reenactment of 1940’s Los Angles - very conventional authentic film noir genre based movie however with a few ingenious modern unique twists. Outstanding performance from Beard and Humberstone, the characters nicely bounce off of each other on the screen which really captivates the audience’s attention. Watch out for the sound in a couple of places because you may have to strain to hear what each character is actually saying!! I would say that this film is definitely well worth seeing cause I really believe that each audience member will take home a different view from this film and be captivated from the very start – from the sexy temptress to the mind blowing shoot out to the major cliff hanger at the end…This film has
it all!

My own ideas about the review:
I really like the layout that i used for my film review page as i believe it is more creative than just a block of text, i modelled it slightly on Empire magazine's review section - However i made it slightly more quirky and relatable to the reader, which i really like about it.
I like how this one has turned out because in this format it really seems like it could be the same as any of the other film noirs that i have reviewed. It makes the reader interested, while being honest about the good and bad points - this shows that i can review my own work well and point out points which are bad (The only way to get anywhere with your own product is to be brutally honest), so if we were to make another film i could see where i went wrong and fix it.
