Just so...so bad
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
... View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
... View MoreI think it's fair to say that the vast majority of people like a suspense movie, and just as many people like a movie with a twist... And this has both!From the beginning and throughout the movie kept me on the edge of my seat, constantly making me question what was the truth and what was fiction. The actors make it seem oh so real. The plot has a twist and leaves you thinking "that was genius" (if not ever so slightly far-fetched!).It's disappointing that this isn't more popular as it's actually one of the best films I've seen in a while.Superb acting and a great story line, get it watched!
... View MoreThis is my first review of a movie, because I felt like I had to write about this one. The movie felt somewhat like one of my favorite movies 'Collateral', though the speed in which this movie acts out is a bit faster.The movie starts with a man on the airport, walking down the street, till he's offered a ride by a taxi-driver, which he takes.Now we start with camera position in the cab, and we the cabdriver and man(protagonist) start having a conversation. I won't go into many detail, but from the very first lines it grabs on to me. It felt like the quality of conversation in the movie 'Phone Booth'. I don't feel like giving any more information away of this movie, you have to watch it yourself, though I must say, I was amazed at how the story enrolled. It takes the story from the start to a bigger and bigger boiling point, and I could really identify with the characters.The performance is great of the actors, and it was fun to see Dominic Monaghan (Lost) play a different kind of role, than we are used of him.I found the music terrific. Be sure to turn up the 'Bass' of your sound- system, cause it gives the extra ambiance to the movie.I was surprised this movie got only a 6.0, though there haven't been a lot of votes yet. I give it 8 out of 10, because of it's great grabbing story.So if your into psychological thrillers, it's a must see movie!
... View MoreThe first thing i thought about when starting this film was whether i could see Dominic Monaghan as anyone but, Merry from Lord of the Rings. Apparently i can and although i had my doubts about watching a low key film with actors i didn't really know or cared existed it was still brilliant. The plot unlike many other films in my opinion doesn't sag in the middle and you are put in constant suspense about the future of the main character (holy water seller) and the taxi driver. The acting is brilliant in this film and it is very clever in places in my opinion (although i am quite simple minded). Overall before seeing the film on the shelf or on sky movies (or any other TV thing) don't hesitate to watch it. It's pulled off brilliantly and it has quite a unique storyline. Basically watch it.
... View MoreInon Shampanier's film about The Millionair Tour, a rip which targets a loaded tourist into visits to as many ATMs before cards max out, is not just clever, it is constructed is such a way as you will guess what is going on many times before you guess right. The screenplay is riveting, sharp, and superbly acted in the largely claustrophobic setting of a cab.At first I thought we may be in for a re-run of Collateral but this film betters that by giving us four people going on a ride in which the scenery is less important than the conversation. There is deep psychology at work here not just in the dialogue but in the body language, the slight inflexions, the looks, the underlying story which is revealed to us piece by piece, and it is all original and crafted to keep you on your toes. You cannot know the twists without knowing what the plan is and that is why this film delivers feigned punches as often as it delivers knock out blows.Gomez, Monaghan, Bruckner and Vescio perform superbly in their respective roles revealing flaws in character as easily as we want to spot them, and it is only by the very end of the film you will know who is fooling who. Go see it for it is one of the best movies I have seen in a long while.Highly recommended.
