Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

Chronicle should be the shining example for any filmmaker or studio wanting to make a “found footage” movie that’s more than just a gimmick.

There are some good lines in the picture, and the final action sequence is fantastic. It’s just a shame that this "fresh" look at super-powers features so many things we’ve seen before.

As occupied with actual characters as it is with inventive set-pieces, Chronicle has set a mighty high benchmark for the big boys of summer to live up to. And it's done it with a fraction of the purse.

Chronicle is a truly innovative film that, out of nowhere, engages the needs of this genre with great enthusiasm. [Full review in Spanish]

It is located in the second highest position of the abused "genre" that has been found-footage. [Full Review in Spanish]
