other Poor direction

[Oshawott]

What movies you think had a great stroy line but poor direction?

Recently, I watched this film named Ad-Vitam, which is a french action movie in Netflix.

The story line was great, complicated enough to spin off a high stakes action drama but the movie felt like it took too much time to reach to the point. Had the direction been better, it would have been fantastic.

The story line was great, complicated enough to spin off a high stakes action drama but the movie felt like it took too much time to reach to the point.

I felt this way too about the recent release of "Ma".

However, once they arrived at the point, you couldn't look away. It has quite a long opening, setting up characters, but doesn't focus on Ma as much until the last 10-15 minutes when things just go crazy.

So, there are some movies where this tactic works great. It doesn't sound like that too much for Ad-Vitam, which I still have on my B-tier watchlist.
