Featured review
Spoiled Beauty
To get the maximum enjoyment out of "Jerome's Razor" try muting the volume after about the first 20-25 minutes and just sit back and watch the scenery and cinematography. Weighed down by poor dialog and poorer acting (in parts), JR can't match the visual prowess or promise it delivers early on.
Jerome (Marcus Edward) starts off as a 9-to-5 drone whose deeply unhappy with his status both personally and professionally. The first act captures this wonderfully with some great supporting performances from the actors playing Jerome's at-work jockish nemesis and his neurotic girlfriend. The film moves at a brisk pace and delivers a few genuinely moving and funny moments.
But when Jerome decides to throw his current life away to go exploring out west, the film stalls as quickly as his truck does in the mountains. Falling in with a group of philosophical mountain-climbers, JR as a film hits clichés and false notes - but at least it does so against a gorgeous backdrop and a few realistic mountain-climbing scenes.
All in all, not bad for an indie given what else is out there. Certainly much better looking than most.
