Skip it. 'The Surfer' sounds like a generic revenge thriller that mistakes escalating tension for depth—a familiar story about masculine pride and humiliation that we've seen a dozen times before. Without critical backing or a recognizable cast to carry the weight, this feels like a safe pass for tonight.
Plot
A man returns to the idyllic beach of his childhood to surf with his son. When he is humiliated by a group of locals, the man is drawn into a conflict that keeps rising and pushes him to his breaking point.
Director: Lorcan Finnegan
