Marmoulak AKA The Lizard (2004) (5/10)

One can survive through this Farsi movie which has a good plot but is rather wasted by the way the story is told. It is literally told rather than acted out in much of the part with hardly any performing, especially the relatively slower first half. Also the cuts are not representative of the elapsed time between them and one has to just assume it based on whatever happens next. To add to it the shade of the English subtitles almost always matched the color on which they were seen. The germ is good. A wolf in sheeps clothing evolves. Gradually. That was the good part. Until the end you are not sure which side is he on. Not even at the end. the best part was the questions he has to answer about praying - on the North Pole and in space, and precaustions before a man and woman go to space. Alas, the lighter moments were few and far flung. I wonder why serious movies have to be just that.
