Rating: 10/10

Franny was tense, memorable and original. Writer/Director Andrew Renzi must have a bright future based on this feature, which includes a particularly strong performance from Richard Gere.

Dakota Fanning and Theo James also gave emotive and compelling performances. There was a noticeable chemistry between the actors.

The highlight may have been the creative script with a unique story unlike other pieces that focus heavily on a particular character. Renzi and Gere do a great job of creating a contradictory character both similar to personalities you know and cleverly original.

Franny is a winner.
