Claire Danes In This Movie
I've seen her in a few other movies and I know she is normally not a bad actress. That is not the case in the Flock. She is so completely miscast that it took me out of the movie. I understood that her character was new to the job and a little naive, but she just came off as extremely dumb. I never felt at any point during the movie that she really even attempted to become her character. The faces she would make when she was trying to look serious made me laugh a couple of times during the movie. Her personality just doesn't fit this type of movie.
The Flock is not a good movie by any stretch of the imagination but it did have any interesting concept to work with. The scene in the s&m house was some of the worst acting and directing I've seen in any movie that was meant to be sent straight to video. It's hard to believe the director made the excellent movie Infernal Affairs.
