Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

smorris405 I watched this last night and was very impressed. From the opening of the film to the beautiful expansive shots of the cabin location, I would never have known it was shot on such a small budget. It is obvious this is someone's baby. I'm certain a great deal of gratis work went into it. I can only say well done!This film is a treasure for anyone interested in a great character study! I watch low budget indie films a often. I know it was not an easy thing for the team that made a fine film! I highly recommend. When I first rated this, I gave it a 7. After seeing the micro budget, I happily raise it a point! Cheers!

Claudio Carvalho When the antisocial and lonely medical student Adam Schmidt (Christian Oliver) receives a mysterious e-mail inviting him to participate of a unique medical research, he accepts the job opportunity and travels to an isolated snowing area to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. He meets Dr. Franklin Vick (Dean Stapleton) that kills him cutting his throat with a hunting knife. When Adam resurrects, Franklin calls him Subject Two and explains that he is engaged in an unethical medical research, bringing dead to life. Along the days, Adam is killed and resurrected over and over again, with Franklin improving his research, until the day Adam decides to leave the isolated spot.The weird "Subject Two" has a promising and intriguing beginning, with a youngster being killed and resurrected as part of an experiment. However, the pointless story becomes repetitive and boring, with the repetition of the same situation (Adam killed and brought back to life by a guy playing God), having a terrible ending. The best this movie can offer is the wonderful landscapes in Aspen and the blue eyes of Courtney Mace. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Cobaia" ("Subject")

kiri-the-taco Basically, a modern-day "Frankenstein" with a few twists. The man portrayed to us as the 'Doctor' (Vic, Victor in the actual book)is a truly well-cast actor. What makes him so believable, right from the beginning, is the mystery that surrounds him. 'Dr. Vic' seems to draw his creativity from his drunken stupors and fits of isolation, and thus, in his frenzies manages to take from Adam something he's tricked into giving up- his very existence. Not merely by taking his life, but by stealing his soul.In my opinion, the most pivitol scene is where Adam looks 'Dr. Vic' in the eye and tells him that he can't die, that he can't feel anything, that he can only 'feel Death.'. And in a way, Adam is death personified. For he can't live among other people, just like 'The Monster', the 'Deamon', the 'Mongrel', he is referred to as 'Subject Two,' something which he objects to. In a way, Adam uses that to try and keep himself tricked into thinking that he has an identity still.This movie isn't for people who aren't into the Romanticism aspect of literature, for the movie still keeps that feel (minus the eloquence of words), but it's also not for those who are into slasher, gorefests, and look-see horror. The movie plays with your mind, and in an innocent sort of way, represents the duality between man- The want to live forever, and the lack of want to sacrifice that which requires immortality. Though Adam willingly underwent such experiments, he realized that in the end, he gave up something he didn't want to.

miruza This is the worst crap I've ever seen. I would like to hear the opinion of a real doctor about this film. What kind of doctor doesn't wear any surgical clothes for making a 'surgery'? Why you never see a tube or lab in that house? What is that green stuff he forces Adam to drink supposed to be? Why are they such bad actors? What those cheap blue contact lenses Adam wears after coming back to life mean? In the scene when Adam's wrists are cut, why do you hear the blood dropping only when the camera moves down? Who gave the money for making this awful abomination of a film? Is just funny the way this film is so terribly bad.
