Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
metalrage666 I'm not sure why Lance Henriksen or Danny Trejo even bothered with being seen in this. They must've been desperate because this movie was just plain stupid. I thought this was so bad, that I didn't even waste any more of my time to see it through to the end and what I did see made little to no sense at all.Starts off with a team of soldiers or mercenaries complete with a female prisoner in tow, and they come across a stone obelisk which turns out to encase some evil being or presence and when they get too close it starts to scream and wail and somehow possesses one of them. This possessed soldier teams up with a doctor and they develop a "demonic drug" called Reficul to test on people. A poor excuse for a detective and some reporter try and unravel what's going on and of course no one wants to listen to an almost washed up cop and flaky reporter.I couldn't under any circumstances sit through the entire movie as I found myself just getting agitated with how stupid it was. This flick struck out entirely with bad acting, bad effects and bad story. At various points Henriksen's voice-overs just became utterly annoying and I'm guessing that that was some kind of pathetic homage to Harrison Ford's voice-over in the original Bladerunner.In any case, this is garbage and not even watchable. Even if this were to somehow make it onto TV late one night, do yourselves a favour and get some nightmare free sleep.
rodv Having re-watched this movie just recently, I thought I should add a review. I am not a film critic, by any means, I just know what I like. And I like this. Lance Henriksen is always good. This role was suited for him in every way and I can't wait to see where they take this in the future. The idea of how much pharmaceuticals play in our lives makes for a good story. The movie paced good enough to keep me interested throughout. Timing was perfect. The actors did a good job of really bringing the scrip to life, and Lance Henriksen's narration, gave the movie a nice creepiness that played well with the theme. I look forward to a sequel with Lance Henriksen reprising the role and Peter Eaton at the helm.
inoshi But then again it was Lance Henriksen - and I would forgive him anything. Big smile :-DIt's about time the IMDb stopped with the minimum line length for reviews: it only encourages crap. Okay, this was a very B movie that I watched only because I absolutely love Lance Henriksen. Or is it Lance Hendrikson? Has that gained me another few characters? This is a very B Movie but that voice makes any movie he appears in worth watching, in my opinion. :-)Have I got to 10 lines of text yet? Sheesh: watch this if you love Lance. Otherwise, don't bother.
xinix111 After a good kick off the movie is surprising and takes weird turns and I liked that.The sound editors could have done a better job and the empty spaces in sound made me wonder sometimes. I noticed that necessary evil is also a game book but its hard to tell if this movie is related to that. That this movie did not get that much attention must have been because its weirdness but then again, Danny Trejo does what he does best and some other well known actors showed their typical faces.Therefore I think that this movie deserves more attention. Everyone who likes a psychedelic weird surprise will probably enjoy this movie. And that this partly less experienced actors and writers/directors could have pulled this off is worth a Praise.Still not great but worth watching.6 of 10
