Preview: Mancora (2009)

Synopsis:

A young man with no hope for a future decides to move to a tropic paradise where he hopes to find love and excitement.

• Poster: D+

Review:

The lower frame being uneven and slightly off-kilter is merely a minor distraction. The split-screen design is boring and the images selected aren't much more interesting.

• Trailer: C

Review:

I'm still trying to figure out what the film is really about. Is it a character drama or is it a horror/thriller? Is it some combination of the two? The trailer doesn't do a very good job making the movie appealing for many people, and rapid-fire dialogue in subtitle format is extremely difficult to catch.

Oscar Prospects:

Doubtful this will be a submission for Foreign Language film, and it certainly won't be a regular Oscar contender.
