ChuckFlixs: Cailber By Chuckie VanHooseOctober 25, 2018 I watched this movie a few weeks ago but I’m just now posting the reviews. After reading a few lists of best  Netflix movies to watch Caliber kept showing up on the list plus I was in the mood for thriller. Now there are other movies with a similar plot but I enjoyed this one. I watched the trailer after the movie to see what was in it. The trailer is basically the first few minutes of the movie. So I would suggest that you don’t watch the trailer.
 
Caliber is a movie about two childhood friends who go hunting in the Scottish Highlands. Once they start hunting the two are faced with a difficult situation that no one could have been prepared for. They immediately have to make hard choices then deal with the fallout.  What follows is a thrilling situation that is entertaining.
 
I liked a few of the performances because the actors did what they were asked to do. My favorite performance was Jack Lowden who played one of the best friends. He put a lot of emotion into his role I bought into his character. Martin McCann who played the other friend did a good job too. Since it took place in the Scottish Highlands there were some great shots. So I'm going to be like Ozzy and say I enjoyed the cinematography. Several characters were able to show emotion and I believed that they truly felt that way.
 
I did see a few things coming in this film but it was about a minute or two before it happened. So the film wasn't that predictable which is a good thing for a thriller movie.
 
One of my negatives is some of the characters are just generic and don't really have a purpose. Because they are just put into the film just to be there and have a minor role. However this is true of just about any movie nowadays.
 
It's hard to go into negatives without spoiling the movie. I was on the edge of my seat a few times during this movie.  If you like thrillers then you should watch this movie. It's not the best thriller of the year but it's still worth your time to watch it.
Rating: 8/10
