Pretty Good

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

My wife and I really enjoyed this movie! Entertaining and fun to watch all the way through. It's very well written; as I watched it I tried to guess what was going to happen next but there were a lot of surprises and interesting turns as the movie progressed. It's one of those movies you're glued to because you know there's going to be a cool twist at the end, as you'd expect from a Nick Gyeney film (e.g. The Penitent Man). It's a good movie to watch more than once because there are things I didn't pick up on the first time through, it made the overall experience really cool after seeing it a couple times. We highly recommend this movie!

I was the cinematographer on this movie so it seems a bit self-indulgent to write a review, but I'm doing it anyway, that is if you can call my opinion a review. The schedule of this production was short so we really had to move fast and make decisions. I have to say that the finished product is something I'm proud of. The actors were great and each brought something unique to their performance. Nicholas Gyeney new what he wanted and got it. After we shot I was on to other things so I didn't see hardly a frame until it was shown at festivals. I was blown away at how everything came together, the music, the editing, the acting, the direction...Matt's Chance is a true original American movie.

I attended the NYC premier of "Matt's Chance" and enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane with this eclectic cast. I mean where else will you find a film with Edward Furlong, Lee Majors, Margot Kidder, and Gary Busey? But one lessor-known character actor, New York City's own Bill Sorice, found a way to outshine most of the Hollywood vets with his portrayal of Russian Mobster, Gabor. Sorice has director several short works, but also was the face of "Lucky Two Fingers" in NY Lottery Take 5 Other Kinds of Luck commercials. His take on Gabor made him perhaps the most unpredictable of a very unpredictable bunch.Overall, the dark comedy was funny and jarring at the same time, making you guess what could possibly come next.But no one, and I mean no one, will guess how where this crazy, winding road of a film ends up. Trust me.

I got to see Matt's Chance at the New York City International Film Festival last night. It is certainly a ride and a half. It had a Pulp Fiction feel to it, and it was truly wild to see Gary Busey, Margot Kidder, and Lee Majors lend their talents to this film. There are many high points to the film, but most memorable is Bill Sorice who plays Gabor. His character is colorfully flamboyant... threatening, and caring all in the same breath. Bill gives a very nuanced, yet very funny performance. Edward Furlong, along with the rest of the cast are wonderful as well. If it comes to your town... run out to see it immediately.
