‘Shadow in the Cloud’ Review: Chloë Grace Moretz’s High-Flying Monster Movie Is a Blast
” parts ways with credibility altogether. This insanely entertaining high-altitude horror movie — which takes place almost entirely aboard a gremlin-infested WW2-era B-17 bomber — asks you to check your internal B.S. barometers on the runway, then takes off into murky skies, testing the limits at every turn.
The movie stars tough, takes-no-guff Chloë Grace Moretz as Women’s Auxiliary Air Force Capt. Maude Garrett — at least, that’s how she introduces herself, although Garrett’s true identity and the nature of her mission remains a mystery for much of the film. Moretz was an inspired choice to play the lead in that she’s proven that she can kick ass , but doesn’t necessarily read that way on first glance .
More than 40 minutes of the film take place in that rickety bubble, as Garrett tries to negotiate a modicum of respect from her comrades. As with the claustrophobic car ride in Charlie Kaufman’s recent “I’m Thinking of Ending Things,” it’s a tall order to make this stretch tense and interesting, but Liang’s up to the challenge, focusing on the tricky gender politics as Garrett listens in to the men’s taunts, strategically deciding when to assert herself.
