Serenity

Serenity is a thriller starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Diane Lane. When fishing boat captain, Baker Dill, played by McConaughey, gets an unlawful, monetary proposal from his ex, he must juggle with what is right and what is wrong in a reality where nothing is what it seems.

This story was unlike anything that I have seen recently. It was a unique and interesting concept. The script was engaging and encourages you to pay attention to all the layers of this film until they are peeled back in a big reveal at the end.

I thought that the acting from the entire cast was great and the character development was pretty decent as well. McConaughey as Baker Dill, a man, down on his luck, only driven to catch a fish. Hathaway, as Karen Zariakas, a woman stuck in a violent relationship, desperate for help. Lane as Constance, a mysterious and intriguing woman in the town. Jason Clarke played his typical type casted villain, Frank Zariakas, Djimon Hounsou was great as Duke the compass for good and Jeremy Strong was a surprise but interesting addition as Reid Miller, the salesman with an ulterior motive.

Overall this was a very thought-provoking movie, it that keeps you on your toes until the end. It isn't your typical ending, so some might not like it, but I thought that it was definitely worth checking out.
