The Whip – REVIEW - Price Prediction

As a film enthusiast with a keen eye for social and political commentary, I must say that “The Whip” is a unique and intriguing piece that resonates deeply with my own experiences and beliefs. The portrayal of Sadie’s struggles with the bureaucratic system is painfully relatable, and the character of Michel Harrington, while despicable, is eerily reminiscent of certain politicians we’ve seen in our own political landscape.

Political Heist Drama – The Manipulator

After being publicly humiliated for his dismissal, Harrington encounters Sadie and her friend Abi (Gala Wesson), who quickly agrees to join their scheme against the government. This plan involves obtaining a secret book of disgrace, known as the black book, which is securely stored in a safe within the whip’s office. To aid them in this task, they recruit Jason (Daniel Davids), an expert in computers.

Heist films and their key elements to keep an audience engaged are intricate and multi-faceted, consisting of stereotypical roles (such as the mastermind, muscle, thief), the detailed description of the scheme, the unforeseen challenge to the plan, the escape, and the reward. While most of these aspects are present here, there’s a lack of suspense in how they carry out their operation, making it seem like an unlikely team capable of executing this type of heist. Additionally, despite maintaining character motivation, these individuals appear less convincing as a proficient crew. The script also includes a lengthy rant against government policies and a lengthy segment that feels like a Politics for Dummies tutorial.

Additionally, it seems that this situation could have been more advantageous if it were presented prior to the General Election, given the evident conservative nature of our current government. To be fair, it presents a clear opportunity for criticism, particularly toward Boris Johnson, who resembles a bowl of custard laced with Pol Pot’s genetic material, or Liz Truss, someone you wouldn’t trust to correctly position herself on a toilet and whose ineptitude ensures she will remain the butt of jokes. However, we now have Kier Starmer, possessing the charm of hummus and an expression as blank as a mannequin in a beige suit display window. With the Tories having failed to protect every elderly person from Covid-19, he is now planning to further endanger them by cutting their heating benefits.

In simpler terms, “The Whip” movie, running for about 80 minutes, has a somewhat flimsy and unconvincing storyline, yet it concludes with a satisfying ending that neatly wraps up the plot. It might be more fitting for online streaming platforms rather than a traditional cinema experience.
