What makes it different from others?

Such a frustrating disappointment

just watch it!

Excellent but underrated film

This is absolutely wonderful movie. Naturalistic, no superhero pop-culture (although he is one). I completely loved everyone's acting. Dialogs are just perfect. Funny and brutally sarcastic. Maybe holywHoll should start picking up people right from the street for acting main roles, just like Kusturitsa did in his "Black cat, White cat".I won't say much more. Go watch it on Netflix. You won't regret.

'He Never Died' is quirky and serious at the same time. This film has much more depth than one can expect from such genre (horror-comedy). Henry Rollins gives a performance of a lifetime as a loner Jack, who doesn't want anything more than left alone. He is immortal who has roamed the Earth since the beginning of times. Even he himself doesn't know how old he is (he knows that he is mentioned in the Bible). Having witnessed centuries of petty side of human existence, it is no surprise that such a creature have developed such detachment from society. His mono-syllabic answers and responses are usually hilarious. The screenplay is well written with plenty of sly humor and twists. Much is said with little words and explanations. Character Jack is well developed, and not only - being immortal, he is actually very relatable and realistic. Supporting characters are also interesting, and are never demoted to just a daughter, love interest or gangster. Gory, funny and unpredictable ride that is actually much more than simple horror comedy.

Where do I start? Perhaps with the fact that Netflix shows this movie with 2 stars, even though the majority of reviews are 4 and 5 stars. And gawd-awful movies with 1 or 2 star viewer reviews are listed as 5 star flicks. What does this prove? Ignore Netflix advice and seek info elsewhere before deciding to watch a film. This movie was absolutely brilliant IMHO. It has it all...comedy, romance, peril, violence, Booboo Stewart (eye candy who's screen time was only a scant few minutes, even though he got second billing), and last but not least, Henry Rollins. I vaguely knew of him, but he really shines in this roll. I would have given this 10 stars, but the ending was a slight let-down, perhaps because I didn't want it to end. Do yourself a favor, and watch this black comedy/horror film instead of one of the 5 star duds Netflix offers.

Plagued by a grindhouse title and your bottom-of-the barrel Netflix expectations, He Never Died has everything against it: a vague promise of cannibalism, second rate actors, and an opening scene during which the director instructed the sound engineer to go full blast "weird". Fortunately, if one is attuned to language, the title is set in the past, which we discover at the end is quite immemorial; this is not your run-of- the-mill Jason Statham flick, situated in the present, or Heaven forbid, an even more grindhouse fare (with bloody letters and an exclamation mark!) that a post-modern writer-director would have spin to a lazy studio exec.He Never Died is a good movie. Not only he never did, but he never does and will never do. He's one of this cursed characters, unable to escape his fate, because this fate has been sealed shut for eternity. Whatever he tries to appease a vengeful God is bound to fail, even though the man with a funny hat can enjoy his haphazard treat.Quite everything is delightful in this movie, from the mute, no-nonsense hero to the lovely scenes he manages to extract – with minimal effort – from his female co-stars, a rather conventional daughter and a glorious diner waitress. All men involved meet their prompt demise, because they are scum, the main villain having the worst encounter possible, condensed in just one, terrifying syllable.Could have we done without the Biblical reference? Maybe. Does it make the movie in any way less enjoyable? Hell no. Watch it.
