I Think We’re Alone Now

THE GIST: The seemingly lone survivor in a post-apocalyptic world, Del fills his days burying corpses and cleaning around town. Then, one day, he finds an injured girl in a wrecked car.

I Think We’re Alone Now has an intriguing premise and good character development, but two big plot holes prevent a better, more complete end product.

Skip this paragraph to prevent spoilers. Number one, they never explain, nor even hint, at the root cause of everyone's death, which is clearly something the audience would be wondering about. Number two, they barely glide over the surgery/reconditioning occurring among the larger group of survivors without giving a complete picture.

Unfortunately, those two issues end up being considerable, because that's all I could think of at the end.

Still, Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning are very good, and Paul Giamatti and Charlotte Gainsbourg make the most of the short time they have onscreen.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Not much more than a curiosity, the film isn't bad, but it might leave you a bit frustrated at the end.

Grade: 6
