Very disappointing...
Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Absolutely Fantastic
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
I am not normally into thrillers but this one grabbed my attention. Watching such a gifted and talented actress Natalie Dormer (Games of Thrones), who happens to have co written this, shows the weaknesses and strengths of the main character Sofia. There are so many twists and turns that when you think you know the ending, it doesn't quite turn out the way you think it does. Excellent thriller and one that I would happily watch time and time again. Well done to the writers.
I believe everyone expected she wasn´t really blind, but get conformed she in fact was, when you get the revelation she isn´t, that is not the twist anymore, the twist is she's actually the sister, or im wrong?
"In Darkness" is worth seeing for the cinematography alone. The color aesthetics, the stunning location filming in London, the camera angles, and the set-ups are unsurpassed in the range of artistic choices. The film also has a complex and ever-changing plot with non-stop action and twists.At the center of the film is a blind concert pianist, whom we admire simply for her skills in negotiating the busy streets of London, not to mention her gifted musical abilities. But the shape-shifting character Sofia will unfold in multiple dimensions as the layers are peeled away to learn her true identity.One of the clues to unlocking the mystery of Sofia's story lies in the code words Serebro (silver) and Zoloto (gold). The gold is eliminated early in the film in the death of the charismatic yet tortured character Veronique. But silver will pose a much greater threat to the survival of Sofia.My favorite scene in the film is not one of the violent action sequences, but one of great simplicity as Sofia sits on the bank of the River Thames facing Parliament. The panoramic vista is spectacular as a low-key conversation occurs between an old man and Sofia. The film turns on that conversation, then picks up steam in a relentless dash to the finale."In Darkness" may not shed much light on its intended social issue of war crimes in Bosnia and one of the nefarious creatures responsible for genocide. It is the personal drama that is more powerful. In another subtle yet symbol-laden scene set in the National Gallery, Sofia and a woman named Alex meet in front of the enormous canvas of Titian's "Death of Actaeon." In this mythological tale, the goddess Diana is in the process of enacting a sadistic death on the poor hunter who had inadvertently spied her bathing. Diana will turn him into a stag and unleash his own hounds on his master. Slowly, Sofia is being transformed into Diana.
Interesting idea, poor realization. Typical propaganda from the West regarding the war in Bosnia "for the war is the Serbs are guilty, only they committed crimes, the other participants in the war are innocent victims." In this war, all parties committed crimes, but only Serbian crimes are being spoken and emphasized.
