More details about The Beast –
In the opening scene, it is shown that the lead character (Ludovico Di Martino) is consulting his doctor about his medication. He has PTSD. He wants medicines to reduce the pain instead of help. This scene is highlighted to show how stubborn is Ludovico, and he will do anything to get what he wants. The opening scene also shows that he can transform into something he was once in the past. A series of events is triggered by The Beast when Ludovico’s daughter gets kidnapped. He arrives with the cops at the crime scene, and the crops assure him that they will do whatever they can to find his daughter. Later it is shown that the kidnappers are getting away, the cops are just standing around, and Ludovico takes the matter into his own hand.
The film has been made so that it gives a feel of a fast-paced, gritty action thriller. The film also highlights the fact that how Ludovico’s past has hampered his present relationships. The film tries to make the main character as moody as possible, but in the 2nd half, the audience loses interest in what he is doing. There is plenty of action but no substance.
