After enjoying great success with his latest bait "Realm of the Bird", Douglas takes us through another journey showing us that he can tell a story and create vivid characters and a tenseful plot filled with suprises and twists, with his latest bait he really shows the range he has as an author.
"Only the Weak Survive" tells the story of how life can change drastically with every decision we make and how one moment can turn everything around in an instant. Casey Affleck stars as Kyle Morton an actor who must fight for what he loves and for recovering what he lost on dreadful night.
Overall the bait's strongest asset is the presence of recently acclaimed actor Casey Affleck, (that keeps appearing month after month) but the story eventually stumbles with some predictable scenarios and prefers to offer the synopsis in a more elaborated manner which evetually puts the story on a second plain and seduces the reader in believing there's more to it than what it really offers, he prefers style over substance creating the perfect mood but lacking in the story development.
The story doesn't offer an original premise and after two or more readings it becames dull and a little pretentious; however I don't believe this are Douglas' intentions. He creates a nicely crafted effort that will probably not be as succesful as "Realm of the Bird", but it shows a talented author becoming more comfortable with his own writing, finally finding his style and proving he has an amazing range. A diamond in the rough that could've been better with a little more effort, however it becomes a memorable bait with great potential for its leading man and maybe some creativity awards but not much else.
You've proved yourself again as an author worthy of creating exciting stories and actually making your audience think instead of handing them everything on a silver platter, but you fall short with your new bait. B-
