A Bridge of Ideas

You rated 'Skidding Into Oblivion' a perfect 5 stars, likely drawn to its profound exploration of human fragility and the relentless march of fate, themes that resonate deeply with a masterful understanding of narrative. This perfect score, contrasted with your 2.5-star rating for 'Rotten Tommy', reveals a discerning eye not just for story, but for the underlying mechanisms of consequence, suggesting you appreciate a narrative that delves unflinchingly into the existential dread of inevitability, a powerful, if unsettling, philosophical framework that Brian Hodge expertly employs and which, surprisingly, shares echoes with how David Sodergren might be attempting, albeit less successfully in your judgment, to depict the unraveling of character in 'Rotten Tommy'.
