I'll be honest, this movie was pretty quirky and strange but also quite interesting. At first, we meet the character of a pretty mild businessman that is a little disappointed with having a meeting being pushed back to a certain time.
Enter the odd little fortune-telling place h...( read more)
William H Macy is perfect for this role, you just want to hate him so much, but at the same time feel sorry for him. Very entertaining movie...
This movie was one of the worst i have ever seen. I do not recomend that anyone see this, unless you are into inflicting torture on yourself
An interesting, if none too enjoyable collaboration from Stuart Gordon and David Mamet that starts off very interesting and then basically goes nowhere for about an hour, thend ends pretty bad. Excellent performances though, and the first hour, though meandering, is spot on in re...( read more)
good premise, but other than macy, all stas on the box only have one extended scene. VERY disappointing and misleading film
GET ON THIS BODY!!! I don't miss an opportunity to quote this now. Dudes like Bokeem Woodbine is why I never want to go to the pen. Cuz dawg, if what went down there ever go down w/me, one of us gotsta go, potna, pt. blank. William H. Macy plays this role well. He comes off as a ...( read more)
Not many other actors can pull off the quiet, misunderstood every man with something dark lurking beneath the surface like William H Macy can. I thought this was really good, drags you into the seedy nightlife from the perspective of a naive businessman. You can tell it was still...( read more)
Movie had a lot of potential. Very disappointing. Good cast but all have short parts except Macy who is the main actor.
Really didn't like this film. Apparently was a play, and while the cast is good, they're acting like they're on stage - really annoying. While I know the main character isn't supposed to be likeable the dialogue doesn't really offer anything of worth. Really the same psuedo-philo...( read more)
A boring film, a waste of time for the people who aren't ready to listen, but for those who are ready this is a great film with many points and theories about this world that gets you thinking.
Have you ever seen such a disgruntled picture? It seemingly can't decided whether it wants to be a thriller or a drama, and the dialogue is so inconsistent that one can never quite distinguish the picture between silly melodrama or a dark and disturbing dialectic on mankind's vic...( read more)
"Insanely dark and funny at the same time. A disturbing look at the inner workings of a white collar society on the edge of hell"
This film didn't get raving reviews; however, I feel that it definitely had some merit. Though the plot wasn't as focused as I would have liked, it made me think. There is alot lurking beneath the surface of this movie - if you are willing to dig.
not as shocking as you might of heard... though a fine film it didnt sit right with me. i kept hearing how just down right disturbing this film was...and in truth... its not gordons darkest it didnt have the rawness it needed it felt a little to clean cut... in a way it was a cle...( read more)
Good movie but also disturbing. William H Macy does a great job as do all the other actors in mostly very small roles... mainly Mena Suvari, Julia Stiles, Bokeem Woodbine and Bai Ling. Denise Richards was bearable I guess. It's a short movie at around 1 hr 22 mins but a lot happe...( read more)
A less than mediocre film that really doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Macy's character slowly snaps into a world of chaos that is not particularly interesting or believable.
It's like a horrible rip-off of "Leaving Las Vegas" and "Falling Down."
Don't be fooled by the ...( read more)
i think that this could be an interesting film that i would like to see!
For the second time this week I've been disappointed by a film, which has a trailer that looks really good.
Seeming a lot like a late B grade version of Michael Douglas's "Falling Down', this up in the air, over acted rhetorical story should have stayed where it was intended: the...( read more)
An extremely edgy film that kept me riveted the whole time. Reminded me of 'Falling Down" a little. Its one of those movies that ends without really resolving anything.
I don't know exactly why I didn't like this movie. William H. Macy is very good, and Julia Stiles, probably one of the best actresses in Hollywood, is also great. Their scene together is probably the best one in the movie. But the story seemed slow, and confusing, and really n...( read more)
Spécial, et troublant... William H. Macy est tout simplement incroyable dans son rôle. Un fil qui a été sous-estimé par le public moyen, mais qui est tout de même intéressant. À ne pas prendre à la légère, et ayez le coeur solide.
It really pains me to rate this movie as high as I did. But, it gets the rating it did for William H. Macy's performance even though he annoyed the shit out of me. No I take that back. This is getting the rating it is getting solely because of Mena Suvari in a really nice see thr...( read more)
This is not a film for you if you don't have a strong stomach. If you appreciate films that are challenging and the actions of its protagonists are not always clear then this could be for you.
Following Bill Macy's Edmond on a night out in the seedy parts of town is compellin...( read more)
pretty intriguing...very thrilling in the beginning but dies down in the end...but the ending is pretty funny
I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!! Not for everyone, but William H. Macy is truly spectacular!!
WOW. I had heard good things about this, but it turned out to be all out boring and terribly bad.
