As Vincent, an architect, who designs an isolated house, in order to spend a nice time in away from the expensive hotels.
The Loft is a film that can't decide what it wants. It's a male fantasy, and a cautionary tale. It's sleazy in concept, and timid in execution. It punishes its protagonists for their transgressions, then lets them off the hook.
It's a common and ordinary thriller with a intelligent premise, but poor execution, wasted cast and late plot twists that are almost ridiculous. [full review in Spanish]
The problem with 9-Month Stretch is that is a movie is composed of good moments, but the uneven pace doesn't help the audience to engage with the plot. [full review in Spanish]
The Loft's boorish leads aren't sensible enough to be worth caring about, making the film's character-driven conclusion feel like a self-defeating cop-out.
Plausibility isn't in the cards for this odious excuse for a thriller. This is all about sexy danger, for sociopathic, misogynistic values of 'sexy danger.'
