Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

mikejonesundisputed This movie could have been so much more and it's a shame there were not just a few changes which would have changed this from a slightly below-average offering to a truly great and well-meaning film.The plot revolves around a detective who is suffering from severe depression and enters psychiatric treatment to try and solve a murder case.As the story progresses it's hard to say whether the lead character is indeed a policeman or simply a very mentally ill man who suffers delusions.The main criticism for me is a complete lack of action during most of the movie. This means the plot is wholly bulked by verbal exchanges and little else. I'll also say a lot of the story is fairly samey and there's no real change of pace at any point.The movie is shot in a gritty way and the acting is good as it doesn't (like a lot of modern acting) feel forced and fake.An hour in and I was thinking this could be something special but overall the problems mentioned above as well as a confusing ending left me unsatisfied.

Mark Turner I had no idea what to expect when I put this movie in to watch. I'd heard nothing about it, found little online and had watched the trailer getting an idea of what was to come but not quite. The end result was mixed.The film begins with the investigation of a double murder in a London home where detective Chris has been called on to the case. Deciphering clues and after some assists from an old girlfriend, Chris finds that there is a connection to a psychoanalyst. He goes undercover as a patient with the woman to see if he can access more information.And that's where things begin to go a bit off kilter. As the movie progresses forward we as the viewers suddenly find that perhaps what we saw at first was not reality at all. Instead, we find that Chris may indeed be a patient of the psychoanalyst but not in an undercover capacity. Instead, perhaps the entire scenario of his being a police detective is the delusion that he as a patient is suffering from.As the story twists in that direction we learn more about Chris. We find that he suffers from a deep form of depression that is compounded with other events that take place as the film moves on. As the detective he was trying to find out information on another patient named Coulson. The two eventually meet and form a friendship. But Coulson soon begins to become agitated, telling Chris not to trust the psychoanalyst and predicting she will find a reason to send him on to another.When she does exactly that, Chris begins to wonder if Coulson is correct in his conspiracy theories concerning both the new and the old psychoanalysts. More clues come, or at least through the eyes of Chris, that make him ponder everything that is going on around him. As things he takes comfort in suddenly begin to change, he begins to wonder of the improvement he was showing was staged or if he is indeed losing his sanity. The last segment will make the viewer wonder the same about their own view of what's going on.The movie is a dark film to say the least but interesting at moments. On the whole there are some points that will feel like they drag on too long or go nowhere. Still, it at least takes chances and goes places we've most likely never gone before. It's original and there is something to be said about that. The acting is well done but the story is the centerpiece here.Arrow Video has done their usual solid job on this one offering a well done presentation. Extras include interviews with the cast and crew, the film makers commentary track, THE BARON a short film by director Gareth Tunley and the original theatrical trailer. This is not an Arrow release of a classic film but something new. It's worth taking a look at but for me I can't recommend adding it to your collection. That will depend on your own tastes.

bmco-247-721025 Researching this film before watching it, unfortunately convinced me it would be worthwhile, however, it's clear now that I was taken in by IMDb reviews that were planted to give the movie an overall favorable rating. My instinct after the first 15 minutes was to turn it off, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt since many British independent films do tend to start slow and build to a thoughtful and meaningful result. Without giving anything away, do yourself a favor and look up the definition for a Mobius strip and then imagine a very abstract story revolving around that meaning with a multitude of loose ends that are never explained and you'll have saved yourself nearly an hour and a half of boredom and frustration.

davidsaid Sorry folks, its great to do a project like this film but it kind of falls down flat. I believe a good vision of depression or psychosis must begin by showing us the character in a balanced frame of mind. This should help us perceive what they will eventually lose, giving us a greater understanding of their slow/fast decline from reality into somewhat darker territories. Without that a film like this is just an abstract nightmare for a character we have little connection to. As a consequence of this the film feels a little too abstract but without the depth to carry that abstraction. I like the synopsis, it could be a fine film but it needs some work.Perhaps what would offer this film a better reaction is if it were presented in a different manner. I would do a serious edit, make it into a half hour short and issue it as a piece of art film rather than a feature.
