'The Invisible Man' (2020) Review: A Clear Classic 2018 saw the release of an amazing action film called ‘Upgrade’. Initially I reviewed it as being “some of the most imaginative, fun and wildly expressive” action I’d seen in a long time. Sadly, since ‘Upgrade’ there hasn’t been anything to quite scratch the itch it left behind. There have been superb action movies no doubt, but none that make you question the nature of the filmmaking itself. Thankfully, director Leigh Whannell is back once again making ‘The Invisible Man’, and has cemented himself as one of the most interesting directors working today. From the film’s opening titles you can tell you’re in for something special. Waves crash over a seemingly empty space, only to reveal invisible text as the water trickles over it. From there, we’re introduced to a distressed damsel Cecelia making what is obviously a very methodical escape from an abusive relationship. It’s here that the film introduces you to one of its primary weapons of tension. Silence. With each step Cecelia is in danger of waking her captor. You know nothing about her, but the filmmaking alone makes you root for her survival, and fear for her safety. After that point, the film goes on to show a woman suffering from an extended period of trauma. Elisabeth Moss deserves accolades for her performance. She’s vulnerable, frightened, and at the same time, paints a picture of a person unable to shake the feeling…
