This film has to rate badly because the acting and writing are woeful - but as daft action adventure films go, it's not the worst I have ever seen. There is a semblance of a plot - two buddies plan to emerge from the sea clad in diving gear and armed with harpoons, then proceed to rob $250,000 from a bank in an arcade before returning to their watery escape route... It could actually have been a decent germ of a cunning heist, if only the thing hadn't got bogged down in a poor melodrama between a David and Goliath of a couple (Ken Scott and Merry Anders) as she tries to fend off the unwanted attentions of his mate "Buddy" (Garth Benton) and a really dreadful (and I really mean dreadful) soundtrack. Nice shots of the island help a wee bit too, but yes - it's just rotten. Sorry

Hide2022-10-04HIDE is a contained psychological thriller about one resilient wife’s (Nadine Malouf) fight to escape her husband’s (Ben Samuels) escalating gaslighting and abuse during lockdown. The female-centric genre film is lensed in the wife’s evolving perspective as she slowly comes to see what is happening to her and finds the support to fight back. Visually mesmerizing and emotionally arresting, the film’s pace and pathos pull us into a story that will feel uncomfortably familiar to too many of us.More...
