The best reason to see
Uncertainty -- a gimmicky drama from directors
Scott McGehee and
David Siegel: The cinematography of
Rain Li. Li does an admirable job of photographing New York City from two vantage points linked by the famous Brooklyn Bridge. To restate the obvious -- a mainstay of all journalism -- we're talking Brooklyn and Manhattan and a story that splits in two.
Lynn Collins and
Joseph Gordon-Levitt play two couples, one living through a family Fourth of July in Brooklyn; the other running around Manhattan in a thriller of sorts. Neither half of the movie is well enough developed, but the actors are watchable and the directors have a bit of track record, having made
The Deep End (interesting) and
Bee Season (ambitious but failed). To put all this another way,
Uncertainty proves marginally interesting as the work of a directing team that's not afraid to aim high with movies that always manage to look good.
