Just what I expected

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I had seen this movie about 10 years ago, liked it at the time, and was waiting for an HD version to appear to make my own copy. Lo and behold it came on today! Moreover, I just noticed Amazon carries a DVD that I simply have to include in my collection.Had it not been for the obvious twist, this would simply have passed as a predictable crime drama involving one brother trying to pass off the responsibility and consequence of one of his own crimes on to the other.The twist is that one of the brothers cast is black. However, his race, ANY racial overtones OR stereotypes, are EVER mentioned. EVERYONE plays it TOTALLY as if Dennis Haysbert were white. Or, more importantly, as if this has absolutely NOTHING to do with ANYTHING. The cinematography was crisp black and white which perfectly complemented the very unique question the film has posed to me ever since I first viewed it: Could we ever get to this? Haysbert and Dina Merrill (who for me were the biggest names here) give excellent performances driving a very interesting film that uses a simple crime format and elevates it into a thought-provoking and hidden gem that constantly forces the viewer throughout to take the chain offya brain! Seeing it again today reminded me of not so much the story but simply the possibilities it suggests.I hiiiiiiiiiiiiighly recommend as a very worthy addition to any film library.

This film is like when you're sitting around drunk with your friends and some guy says something clever, and then you're like "Oh dude that would make a cool movie!" Then you wake up the next day and think "Wow, I was really wasted last night, what was I thinking"?*SPOILER*So, some scrawny old balding guy decides to kill his brother who is this big black guy. He slips his magical, indestructible drivers license into the black guy's wallet, and proceeds to blow him up. The dental records won't survive, but the ID card certainly will!The black guy survives, but has amnesia. But somehow everyone mistakes the black guy for the white guy... Apparently, being in an explosion gives you black skin, African facial features, a full head of hair, and a different voice and personality.Despite how insanely ridiculous this movie idea is, somehow the film continues to be completely predictable throughout. It's boring to boot.If anyone can give me one good reason this film exists, please do.But I will say the cinematography was pretty good/interesting.

The thing that makes this film kind of odd, is the fact that they use two completly differant looking people to be confused as the same person. While it is kind of a bothersome gimmick at first, it grows on you, and you soon forget it. Not bad, there is some good acting, and I kind of like the fact that it was in black and white. This is not for everybody though.

I find it interesting how so many people would bother to try and draw deeper meaning from this low-budget, poorly acted, art film. It looks like it was put together by a rather ambitious drama major with some help from his friends.Of course there is a certain group (conspiracy theorists?) who go around thinking that "nothing is what it seems".Rather than come up with a real location or an expensive movie set the directors of this set could only find an abandoned car dealership to use as the protagonist's "mansion" Then they covered up the real furniture with sheets to try and make the place look like someone just moved in.If the definition of surreal is to take actors and have them read their line in a wooden fashion so that the audience doesn't think this is a real film, then this film qualifies.Having two people pretend to look alike when they obviously don't is neither interesting nor funny.This film is void of creativity, and is what happens when for lack of budget the producers take a stab at developing an art film with a cult following. They succeeded only it's a pretty small cult.
