Edmond Reviews and Ratings

October 24, 2009Became an instant favourite film of mine after my first viewing. That is rare for me, so I knew I'd found something special. Very funny, scary, weird and powerful film. It has a perfect pace throughout, and every scene is interesting. Brilliant!
-
August 25, 2009Based on reviews I had read, I guess I expected this movie to be a bit more f'd up then it was. But instead of the movie, it was Edmond and the cast of characters he comes across in his one-night wanderings that were the messed up ones. A disturbingly real account of just how s...( read more)

July 6, 2009Not terrible. I think David Mamet is a pretty good writer, but a lesson in the meaning of life mixed with gay prison sex and senselessly killing Julia Stiles may not be the best stage for it. Then again, it would have been a pretty dull film otherwise. William H. Macy plays th...( read more)

June 14, 2009Dissapointing. For something that could have been so interesting, powerfull and thought inspiring, it was very dull and uneventful.
-
April 15, 2009Wow! This movie was very interesting. Willam H. Macy gives a perfomance I will soon not forget! The story is about a man who leaves his wife and then goes out to have some sex action. Along the way he meets up with some very interesting people. He then goes on a talking rampage w...( read more)

April 10, 2009OMG he negotiated with hookers.. in the end, he end up being a faggot~ what a life..
-
April 7, 2009A man decides that his life doesn't suit him and begins to wander the city in the night searching for something...like Easy Rider,but the protagonist is a frustrated employee.
Pretentious,but at times funny and grotesque.It's kind of picaresque,but with a strong dark mood.The cas...( read more) -
April 5, 2009A latently racist and mentally addled accountant (William H. Macy) leaves his wife, tours the NYC commercial sex trade, and ends up in prison. Macy's performance is interesting, but not interesting enough to inspire the viewer to try to make sense of David Mamet's confused scrip...( read more)

March 25, 2009Quirky and erotically psychological this little movie seems to try to bring across the big message that we need to be more human and caring towards one another because we are all going mad because of the lack of it in the world. It (along with fate) seems to become more of an ex...( read more)

January 29, 2009It's a bad movie... but bad as in bad , not as in "low quality"... everything goes to hell as things lose control, and it's like watching a train wreck ... maybe it was a great movie, but I didnt really get the mood, I couldnt relate with the character as much as I wanted, and it...( read more)

December 2, 2008Its refreshing to see Stuart Gordon take on strong, dark dramatic material as opposed to horror. Edmond is a dark journey into one mans contempt for his life that hes lived. There is more going on in this film that one veiwing allows one to take away from it. Macy is great as the...( read more)

November 25, 2008A strange story about craziness.. i did'nt like enough, fortunately was a short!

-
October 30, 2008a great little film, how fascinating to watch the slow breakdown that is so well portrayed by william h. macy.
-
-
October 1, 2008people expected a horror film from this but it is a dark drama nothing els about a man when all he wants to do is get laid and its dark and true what it says it is truly mammet's as a screenplay his best work nothing elsl
-
September 21, 2008YAY... for BLings & JCombs cameos. BOO... this flick is incredibly boring. 1 star for WHMacy & 1 for DMamet.
-
September 21, 2008The squeamish will detest this hilarious and disturbin' urban nightmare, but some may be pacified by the punchline ending. Stuart Gordon has come a long way since RE-ANIMATOR (so has Jeffrey Combs...yikes).
-
-
August 18, 2008Hard hitting drama with William H. Macy as Edmond,a normal guy with a wife and kids and a boring job who one day decides he's had enough and leaves and attempts to find himself during a night on the town.As the night goes on, Edmonds frustrations at the world become more intense ...( read more)

July 2, 2008What a disturbing piece of work. It makes you wonder what David Mamet is really angry about.
-
June 23, 2008William H. Macy plays with brilliance another lonely wanderer of the night, tired of his pathetic existence. if only Stuart Gordon had more talent behind the cameras, and the photography wasn't that bright. In the end, it's uneven, and the violence a bit cartoonish, but the stren...( read more)
-
April 26, 2008Uneven and at times preposterous study of a dissolutioned man's descent into the dark side. A starry cast service Mamet's vision.
-
April 26, 2008A nice attempt, first half pretty good but then it just goes to shit and I later found out, that's how the play is, so blame it on David Mamet who is normally good.
-
-
April 18, 2008oh dear - what a load of contrived rubbish - how did this ever make it to distribution?
-
April 13, 2008Slow and unmotivated the movie is not worth your time. It is politically incorrect (which I like) and pulls no punches, but thet cant make up for its multiple shortfalls.
-
March 24, 2008A chronicle of one man's descent into madness and murder. Worth worth watching just to see Bai Ling as a peep show girl.
-
March 13, 2008William H. Macy is the best! Really fun film about going mad/midlife crisis. You're on his side but don't know when to let go as he does more and more bad things.

March 3, 2008Shows in a somewhat forced way what can go wrong when making just a choice or two in the wrong direction when you are frustrated....

-
February 14, 2008The story of one man's journey into the emptiness of his own soul. If anything can go wrong, it will - and at the worst possible time, and that's mainly how Edmond's night is about to happen. A family man, whose girl just dumped him, and decides that he is kinda old and that his ...( read more)

February 12, 2008If William H Macy didn't nail his character, the pointless journey through his madness would be... well... pointless. This movie actually hurt to watch, which is unfortunate because I find Macy to be a very talented actor.

-
February 10, 2008It's not working. I guess the format is wrong: should ve been a short movie.
-
-
January 29, 2008This was an insanely weird movie. The movie was pretty funny and weird until he killed that girl. Then it just started to get full on. This was a very racist movie with a butt load of swearing. Definately not for young children.
-
January 25, 2008Very disturbing, awkward, powerful film. William H. Macy cementing his stature as one of our great actors.
It reminds me of FALLING DOWN crossed with EYES WIDE SHUT. As William H Macy searches for something (he seems to initially think that all he wants is to have some casua...( read more) -
January 22, 2008Interesting idea for a movie. Almost a how-to for how not to have a mid life crisis! None of the characters in this are especially likeable, but it sure does keep you enthralled and give you a few things to think about. Julia Stiles is great in this, but kind of unhinged, as i...( read more)

December 29, 2007as the box says macy is cast perfect for this...well worth the 3 pound 50p.
