Erased (2012) a.k.a. THE EXPATRIATE
Director: Philipp Stölzl
Writer: Arash Amel
Stars: Aaron Eckhart, Nick Alachiotis, Liana Liberato, Yassine Fadel, Olga Kurylenko, Garrick Hagon and David Bark-Jones
Liana Liberato has been appearing in a lot of psychologically damaging roles in the past and her role as Amy Logan is the mildest, in my opinion, among those types of roles.
She is a very good actor and I don't know how she could play everything so convincingly at a very young age. She was sixteen when she filmed this with Aaron Eckhart and almost seventeen when this was released.
The script that the critics lambasted as unoriginal and a hodgepodge threadbare of motifs, is actually pretty exciting. Yes, yes, I agree, the story is somewhat old, but hey. In fashion, old styles become new trends with a little rehashing. The Man of Steel has been rebooted several times and locally, Darna and Dyesebel have multiple personalities.
Copycats and plagiarists are those who copy/mimic each scene created by another and claim it as their own.
Why do you think movies have to have this disclaimer:
?
It simply means that there are times that life imitates art and vise-versa. There are things happening to someone else that you can relate to.
Sure, there were better movies than this one, but this wasn't such a terrible film.
