Observance
2015
Observance is a thriller
where private investigator
Parker (Lindsay Farris)
takes a mysterious job
watching Tenneal
(Stephanie King) for an
unknown reason, but he
needs the money to help
salvage what is left of
his marriage. He views
Tenneal being apparently
attacked by her fiancée
Bret Buchanan (Tom
O'Sullivan), a man from a
rich family with an
apparently notorious past
and sketchy reasons for
their wealth, which tempts
Parker to call the police,
but is talked out of it by
the mysterious employer.
When he takes a shower, he
cops what he assumes to be
a severe burn, but he does
not get it checked out and
it causes him to become
violent ill. But, he
continues the job even
when he is warned off
doing so by Bret and a
glitch in his sound
recording of Tenneal's
place. But what is going
on and why is Tenneal
being targeted and Parker
being used to watch her?
No really, please help
because I've got no
fucking idea what's going
on. There's a great mood
set for something big and
surprising to happen, but
the ending seems
inevitable even though I
have no idea why it
happened. It doesn't help
that there's a late shift
in the focus of the movie
which muddies the reason
for Parker being there.
I'm sure it's more obvious
than I say it is, but
there's so few clues as to
why anything is happening,
I just don't understand.
Maybe I was just looking
for a big pay-off, since
the mood is very eerie and
deserving of one. Instead,
the ending seems obvious,
even if it isn't explained
fully. Probably just me...
And let's forget about the
sadly poor attempts at
American accents to help
with getting overseas
distribution.
