Film Review – Bring Him to Me

Director Luke Sparke has spent a chunk of his career trying to launch his own sci-fi franchise, overseeing 2018’s “Occupation” and 2020’s “Occupation: Rainfall.” The franchise didn’t take the world by storm, and Sparke’s filmmaking imagination was limited at best, trying to make his tight budgets look epic. He’s back to more human concerns with “Bring Him to Me,” which follows growing tensions between two men on a long drive to certain doom, with the passenger unaware of what’s coming for him. It’s a talky offering from screenwriter Tom Evans, who hopes to tap into damaged characters and their battle to express the pain that powers them. “Bring Him to Me” is something of a crime movie as well, but Sparke is better off pursuing the gut-rot elements of the material, which are always more compelling than showdowns.
