Although it isn’t the most original flick because of this, so far it was pulling off what many deemed impossible: a great Max Landis script. If this sounds at all familiar, it’s because Landis has lifted the entire concept from a famous episode of “The Twilight Zone.” Only, this time, there’s the added bonus of having our characters forced to fight off the bad guys while watching their plane slowly ripped apart by the bat-rat. Of course, the crew is slow to believe her, since these things aren’t supposed to exist, which only ups the narrative stakes as there isn’t much Maude can do trapped in her tiny turret. We later learn the monster is known in pilot lore as a Gremlin (think bat meets rat). Maude eventually spots what appears to be a human sized creature on the plane’s wing.

Is that a Japanese fighter in the distance? Something… else? You almost wish the entire movie had stayed there.Īlas, it’s not to be. It’s a spooky, cloudy night out and the moon is full. In addition to the aforementioned dialogue, Liang wisely imbues the turret not with the excitement of riding under an airplane while watching the ground buzz past you hundreds of feet below, but with a sense of dread and malice. Here, director Roseanne Liang really shines, making good work of helping us forget just how small the space is. It’s a confined space, not much larger than the actress now stuck within. In fact, the dialogue between said crew and Moretz’s Maude Garrett is so fast and witty it darn near zips around faster than the enemy planes that may be following them, and with more sparks!Īlso Check Out: WandaVision | An Honest Review Of The First EpisodesĮarly on in Shadow in the Cloud and in part because the pilot is awfully upset to suddenly get saddled with the extra weight, a woman no less, Maude is assigned the “only” open seat in the plane, the underbelly turret. Sure, it’s cliche, and a bit too much too often, but Grace gives as good as she gets, so it’s also engaging. Naturally, this leads to tension and the usual female harassment you might expect a woman to be shown while confined with a bunch of young men in what amounts to a flying tin can. It’s World War II, so of course the craft is filled with an all male crew. Chloe Grace Moretz plays a tough as nails Air Force courier… excuse me, flight officer, as she is quick to point out, who is assigned to transport a mysterious package on board a military cargo plane. Heck, I’ll give credit where credit is due, it starts amazingly well. Surprisingly, the Shadow in the Cloud starts well. Either way, his stench is all over the project. She may just be deflecting due to all those allegations of sexual abuse and toxicity against him. A movie so mired in the preposterous it may finally be enough to sink his career (knowing Tinseltown, I wouldn’t hold my breath).Īlthough he is listed as sole writer on the screenplay, the movie’s director has come out to claim he really had nothing to do with it. Take his latest ode too trash, Shadow in the Cloud. You want to talk about privilege, this guy is the poster child. Yet, somehow, beyond all reason, the son of the great Jon Landis keeps failing his way from one project to the next. A name that has become synonymous with terrible and hackneyed writing.
