The theatre was pretty dim when taking this picture, so it looks dark to you.
My first impression of the theatre when visiting the theatre: Very small. Yeah, very small. And it was so small, that it could only house 50 audience at a go, with special sofa liked seats instead of your usual foldable seats in theatres. And the speakers are so small, that my first impression was: a screening theatre which looks more like a home theatre, where home theatre speaker are fixed on it. Sound system wise, it comes with 2 large speakers fixed below the screen.
The 2 hour drama directed by Paul Haggis, the man behind the Oscar winning drama Crash, stars Tommy Lee Jones as Hank, a retired 1st Sergeant from the army, and Charlize Theron as Sanders, a police detective. Story? The Army infomed 1st Sergeant Hanks that his son Mike has gone AWOL (Absent Without Official Leave), which later was discovered missing. Hanks track down his son, which he reports missing person to civilian police, with Detective Sanders investigating the case. A young man was found chopped into pieces and burnt badly was found in a field, which turns out to be Mike's body. A grieving Hank investigates the death of Mike with Mike's camera phone, which reveals the secrets behind his platoon mates during the Iraq War in 2004.
And the 2 hour was simply torturous. Everyone mumbles instead of talking, and theories overloaded. And the movie just simply ends with Annie Lennox's Lost, a song featured in her latest album, Songs of Mass Destruction.
Unsurprisingly, there are people who left immediately the credits start to roll.
Loved the mini theatre, which is best for personal entertainment, but don't really like a 2 hour boring drama that goes really well with the sofa, where it simply puts one into the lalaland.
