Malibu

About This Movie

Malibu (2021) offers a gritty look at desperation and morality, with Ernesto’s reckless scheme to provoke car accidents as a centerpiece. The film has this raw, pulsing energy that keeps you on edge, almost like you're on a fast-paced ride alongside him. The pacing feels deliberate at times, allowing for those moments of reflection amidst the chaos. Some practical effects during the crashes are striking, grounding the film in a sense of realism that amplifies the tension. The performances, while perhaps not widely recognized, carry a weight that adds to the overall atmosphere—think intense and unfiltered. It's not your typical action flick but rather a complex exploration of human connections forged through chaos and risk.
