Review Tuesday: The Invisible Man (2020)

  

 

The Invisible Man

(2020) 

An woman can't get away from her abusive boyfriend even after he kills himself. 

I recently had movie credits on Amazon and asked Mrs Bax0jayz if there was something she'd like to rent or buy on the platform. After wading through content for well over an hour, she came up with this: THE INVISIBLE MAN. I think I can remember the commercials for it, looking creepy, and H.G Wells wrote the book, so how bad can it be? 

 

Bad. 

 

Adrian Griffin (Oliver Jackson-Cohen), a millionaire optics tech giant also happens to be an abusive, narcissistic, sociopath. His girlfriend, Cecilia (Elisabeth Moss), needed to get away from him. So she hatches a plan to escape his clutches and into relative safety. It seemed like her prayers were answered when news broke that Adrian killed himself. But that was only the beginning of the stalking. It seemed like the ghost of Adrian was haunting her. Or was it? 

 

So, this is what went down. Adrian, a powerful millionaire, faked his own death and used a prototype suit of invisibility to isolate and torment Cecilia so she would go back to him. It included a path of isolation, violence, and murder. 

 

The story has a very feminist whiny feel to it, while being over-the-top absurd. The massive conspiracy that one man assembled, and sacrificing his own brother's life just to cow this one woman back was wilder sci-fi than Star Trek. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a narcissistic sociopath. But he also committed a variety of crimes, including stock market manipulation with a crazy stunt like this. How would he explain the suicide photos and news items? How could someone even make that happen, no matter how much money you have at your disposal. No. This movie was stupid, pretty boring, and predictable. I think I will go back and watch the original movie by the same name to wash this from my brain. Maybe read the book, too.

Feel like a woman

 From my email:

As an airplane is about to crash, a female passenger jumps up frantically and announces, "If I'm going to die, I want to die feeling like a woman."

She removes all her clothing and asks, "Is there someone on this plane who is man enough to make me feel like a woman?"

A man stands up, removes his shirt and says, "Here, iron this!".
