“Blink” was a pretty rough movie to get through. To start, it is soooo 90's! There are two types of 90’s films. One type makes us feel nostalgic and long to relive the music and style of this time. The other type feels dated, annoying, and overly corny. This film is the latter. There are moments that are so embarrassing by today's standards, like the final scene with the song lyrics. It reminded me of every awkward date I ever had and I really question whether there ever was a time where an audience would enjoy that sort of cheesy dialogue. And lest we not forget the weird I'm-stripping-in-front-of-a-violinist-but-she-can't-see-me-because-she's-blind sequence. The story is your typical lovers'-quarrel-turns-into-dangerous-conflict plot without many surprises, and let's throw in a villain whistling Three Blind Mice for good measure. On top of that, the f-word gets tossed around over and over for no particular reason. I am not sure what “Blink” aspired to be but it lacks anything that would qualify it as a quality movie. Skip this one and stick to the nostalgic 90’s films.
