Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I get that people like movies that are "different" or "artsy" but this is just different. And not the good kind. It is artsy the way a globe welded to a swan shaped piece of metal is artsy. That only means something to people who can find meaning in a globe welded to a swan shaped piece of metal. When I think of art I think of the Mona Lisa.Memento was different and good. This isn't Memento, or anything like it. But it tries, so I guess nowadays it gets a trophy. The running dialogues are just weird, like watching reruns of NYPD Blue. People don't talk like that in real life, to each other or themselves.Hint: You have to wait until the end of the movie to find out "things" that are not really explained. Except not, because it has different "endings" or maybe they are different parallel universes. Or maybe the guy is superhuman and survives each time he gets murdered. Or maybe he is crazy and is imagining everything.Guess what? Who cares. No one. No one who watched this movie to the end cares because it made no sense and ended dumb. Ramen noodle soup cooling off is more entertaining and provides a return on the time investment.I only watched it because some of the previous reviewers said it was good. As bad as it is it will never achieve the status of The Room. Now that was art, an unintentional concoction of things intended but never delivered.

Any movie about a PI that looks decent will be on my radar. I not particularly a fans a special effects and action either. Gratuitous dialog coming off the wall from unlikely quirky characters is Noir to the bone! There is even some comments about classic noir in the script, which is clearly a homage. My favorite Tarrantino is the dialog heavy early stuff, and I don't have any use for "Kill Bill" and some of his other forays. I love "True romance","Jackie Brown", and "Reservoir dogs". The fact that the dialog is unlikely coming from characters in such circumstances, makes things interesting and less predictable to me. The movie also has some impacting plot twists, which caught me by complete surprise. If you want action, this won't be your thing. If you're into noir, good chance you'll like this flick.

Definitely a modern film noir. John Hawkes is wonderfully gritty but there are 2 things that make this movie a real pleasure to watch. 1. The women. So many beautiful women. Crystal Reed is hauntingly beautiful but all the women are lovely. As a movie buff I have become aware of how much a director can influence the on screen presence of a women. Dennis Hauck is a master. All of the women even in very rough scenes are incredibly enticing. This is about understanding the natural beauty of the women and then working with makeup, lighting and angles to make scenes where the camera 'loves' the women. 2. The pure artistry of the camera work. Watch the angles. The colors . This is the director and the DP creating art.Watch and enjoy.

I really like Film Noir and "Too Late" tries to be one but falls short. I appreciate indie films because they avoid the usual Hollywood mainstream stuff and I cut them a lot of slack, but this picture doesn't help you out. It is disjointed and not well written but I think director Dennis Hauck is on to something.This effort, however, tends to lose the viewer with time frame juxtaposition which is too clever by half. I had to work at it to sort out the sequence of events and I think I nearly caught up by the end of the picture. Add to this the scenario which often lapses into the surreal and some overwritten dialogue (Dashiel Hammett is safe), and the cake falls.John Hawkes was good as the detective but has an emaciated look. He is a stretch to be a hard-boiled 'noir' hero, which is a minor objection, but I hope Hauck perseveres and refines his ideas. There is a need to counteract the current trend toward the populist dreck that shows up in the multiplexes nowadays.
