Thanks for the memories!
... View MoreI wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
... View MoreIt's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreUltimately Watchable with some Stunning Dark Cinematography, Color, and Expressionistic Elements. The Look of the Thing is the Thing here and if You are Compelled by Non-Linear Story Formats, and Dreamlike Presentations, this Movie is a Must.But be Advised it is a Dense Screenplay with not a lot that is Easy Going Intellectually. It's Neo-Noir Niche is Derivative of David Lynch and the Coen Brothers. The Acting is Surprisingly Well Done and the Movie is a Fascinating Alternate-Universe with Perplexing Turns and Supernatural Elements.For a Low-Budget Indie this is an Excellent Effort and the Film is Beautifully Framed with some Interesting Camera Angles and the Dialog is Spiffy, Although Most of the Movie is Mentally Challenging in a Good-Bad Way. But it is Interesting All the Way.
... View MoreThere might be quite some people on this planet, who would say, the film doesn't make sense, there is no sense in it, or the story is not good or doesn't make any sense.But this is just quite the kind of art which the movie uses, to make your active conscious brain loose it's sense, it's power, it's need to understand things. The movie takes you on a journey from the rational to the irrational and to the point where you understand even the irreal, which in my opinion is the whole goal of the film.Explanation of the movie (spoiler, read it when you have seen it, or before to understand the movie): The movie shows you a story of a man who killed someone.The story takes twists, shows you different perspectives of the plot, and at a point fixes loose ends not by telling you a rational story, but by showing you, that the man who is told to kill, is in the end on an irreal journey to kill himself, when you realize this, that is the point where loose ends meet and you see a circle in the idea of meaning, that doesn't make sense in a rational way, but in an irreal way it totally makes sense (for your other brain hemisphere, that is there for feelings, dreams, irrational and irreal things, that just can't work, but in dreams very often things are not possible and just DO work and make sense in an irrational way).the movie is pure art. with a story, that elevates into endlessness, because the man stands for the rational thinking that wants to understand the irrational side, what is not possible. so he keeps to kill himself in his own story and thoughts over and over and doesn't find the exit, because the exit can't be found in a rational way.the gatekeeper is a woman who sits at the exit and represents a part in our brain/world (philosophically). she makes a fortune and gets a gold coin every time the rational thinker get hysteric over wanting to understand irrational things in a rational way.in my opinion she represents the "knowledge" of his own brain over what is happening. you can only find the exit through instinct, and understanding of your feelings, and only the first time you experience and live situations.every time he thinks again about a situation, anything gets more blurry until he finds himself in a circle of actions he can't undo, he is the active part (the killer) (who takes actions) and the passive part (the one who get's killed) (who experiences the effects of other people's thinking (even his own)).other people i watched the movie with, didn't understand the movie and just thought they didn't understand the story and it was a bad movie.but the story is there to make no sense, to lift your rational thinking and start understanding things on a more irrational and irreal basis that make sense nonetheless in it's own form of existence.
... View More(From the back of the video box.) Who's there? Nobody.On a cold and endless winter night a ruthless assassin (Mandylor) commits a murder and ignites a sequence of mysterious events that spiral beyond his control.Narrowly escaping a savage attack by a shadowy assailant who seems to anticipate his every move, time begins to fold in on itself. People he meets don't remember him. Wounds he sustains vanish from his skin. He becomes caught up in an inexplicable loop where events eerily repeat themselves, until an ominous phone call confirms the impossible: his mysterious would-be victim is still alive.Forced to relive his actions over and over, the circle closes in—ending in a fateful confrontation with himself.My opinion--save yourself the time of watching this movie. It is so convoluted that even at the end, you still have no clue about what you just saw. This movie is a down-ward spiral.
... View MoreThe slow pace and repetition of scenes is obnoxious and just when you start to get sucked in because you think that one unifying element will be revealed to tie the whole movie together, you get squat. The film probably took all of three days to film since most of the work was done in the editing room. You spend most of the film watching the same scenes over and over again with some slight variation in perspective. Barely one and a half hours long, it felt like a 3 hour torture chamber. The acting, dialog and the look of the film were all impressive, the screenplay simply fell short. The film tries really hard to say something in a cryptic, pretentious format, but lacks any actual discernible point. Nobody should see this film.
