Dark, brooding thriller drama

This movie demands your patience and attention span. But the story is most effective in this way.First off, the acting is excellent, and Ben Foster is captivating. I sensed what may happen, but his character adapted and changed his MO a few times.This is about an unsung hero, who goes through crisis after crisis, but insists on solving the problem himself. Cobie Smuldrrs is excellent as well, and works well in her hyper-organized, perfectionist character.The tension builds as Foster's character realizes his true calling. Consumed with a new occupation, battling mortal danger, he seeks to fight it head on.This film is excellent with a plaintive soundtrack, well-rounded characters; and a narrative which belies exposition and resorts to thoughtful yet misguided strategies.This is a very worthwhile film, but it requires your attention and curiosity.

Interesting and well acted but..............

It's probably a bit of a stretch to even rate this at 5 stars, just as it's a stretch to label this a thriller. More a drama about a man who seems to become obsessed with life, death and playing God, it's extremely well acted by Ben Foster and Cobie Smulders but good luck finding a character to feel sympathy for when both leads are written as fairly unlikeable. While I had some sympathy for Ben's character at the beginning eventually it eroded. Cobie, as his wife, is written as being a bit too hard and harsh to feel any empathy for. So you end up sitting and watching a movie in which you just kind of dislike the people on screen. I found the ending disappointing and am not sure what the writers were trying to say. It's definitely an interesting watch but nothing to watch a second time. Ben Foster is such a great actor, it's a shame no one seems to be writing great films anymore.

Original, clever, well performed yet occasionally slow & implausible dramatic thriller

Dramatic thriller "Sharp Corner" charts the descent of average family guy Ben Foster (fine actor) from hating his job, thru leaning on booze, to sheer insanity via the titular accident blackspot outside the new home he's bought with wife Cobie Smulders and their young son. As cars repeatedly crash, and folk die, on his front yard, Foster becomes obsessed with the victims and on prepping to 'help' future ones, rather than preventing them and/or addressing his family's trauma. Writer / director Jason Buxton's second film is original, clever, well performed - tho also slow & implausible at times, with an ending that'll irk some. That said, generally, it's a good film.
