Frankie

About This Movie

So, 'Frankie' is this interesting little gem in the sci-fi realm. Directed by Mike Pappa, the film navigates the life of a watch repair man who stumbles upon this antique pocket watch with time-bending powers. It starts off light, maybe even whimsical, but quickly shifts into darker territories as he realizes there are others out there who want the same power. The pacing has a nice build-up, you know? The atmosphere is a mix of eerie and engaging, especially with some practical effects that give it a unique flair. Performances are solid, capturing that desperation and ambition really well. There’s a nice thematic exploration of dreams versus the consequences of getting what you wish for, which adds depth. It's definitely distinct in its own right.

Interesting take on time manipulation.Solid practical effects enhance the atmosphere.Explores the darker side of ambition.
