    Fifty Shades of Grey

    Reviewed by

    This is a somewhat painful review to write. I have been really impressed by Jamie ever since I saw him on "The Fall", a tv series where he plays a murderer opposite Gillian Anderson. He has a certain niche of characters he plays very well, and Christian Grey does fall within that sector. Dakota Johnson was imo incredible. She was a smart, witty and naive virgin, blending all those traits and entering seduction games with Christian Grey seamlessly. The soundtrack is equally impressive with contributions from the Weekend, the Rolling Stones, Nina Simone and a pretty appropriate remix of Beyonce. Where the movie falls short is in the script. While there are a few clever exchanges here and there, the overall theme lacks any sort of purpose. There is little to no intrigue, mystery, a sense of destination. The movie ends appropriately, in a sudden fashion, without having felt a sort of climactic end to some struggle. The end is somewhat anticlimactic in that sense. Of course, I have not read the books. I am judging this as a movie in its own right. It is good softcore with little more than that. It's a shame considering the talent involved. Each played their parts well, I was just hoping their would have been more to it. I also hope the other two installments have more to offer.
