I did not have too much interest in watching The Flock.Andrew Lau
co-directed the masterpiece trilogy of Infernal Affairs but he had been
fired from The Flock and he had been replaced by an emergency director
called Niels Mueller.I had the feeling that Lau had made a good film
but it had not satisfied the study,so they fired him and hired another
director.This usually does not work well (let's remember The
Invasion).But The Flock resulted to be better than what I expected.It's
not a great film but it's an interesting and entertaining thriller.The
character development is very well done and I could know the characters
very well.Also,the relationship between the two main characters is
natural and credible.Richard Gere and Claire Danes bring competent
performances.Now,let's go to the negative points.One element which
really bothered me (there was a moment in which it irritated me) was
the excess of edition tricks to give the movie more "attitude" and
style.That tricks feel out of place and their presence is
arbitrary.Plus,I think the film should have been more ambitious.In
spite of that,I recommend The Flock as a good thriller.It's not
memorable at all,but it's entertaining.
