The Worst Film Ever
Nayan Gough
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Tobias Burrows
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It looks like this movie splits people into camps. Some hate it, either annoyed at the clichés of capitalism, or missing the subtext. Others love it, over-enamoured with the neat exposition of current meta-programming principles? OK, that last bit i put words in other people's mouths. that's bad. go read the other reviews, they speak better for themselves than i can.my take was that it was OK. i was quite grateful for the final 10 seconds or so: the director neatly picks out the sequences of images/stimuli in the conditioning/programming of the protagonist, and his subsequent breakdown. So, unlike a kubric movie, the symbolism is made overt. Thanks for that. it was quite helpful. the movie was more a demonstration with practical example of media manipulation of populations, according to the illuminati agenda (as depicted by the projection of the all seeing eye/pyramid on the protagonist's face at the beginning). We get to watch how the guy's outlook on life and events is driven by the media generated program(ming). (Whether there is a deeper spiritual aspect intended there i do not know) . Step by step, stage by satge, we see the programming of the protagonist to become paranoid, stressed, and ultimately, to move to assault with a deadly weapon. Probably the best next step for the viewer is to think over recent headline news. What are they programming YOU to do?personal growth aside, sometimes the sound track was too jarring. i'm not sure how reversed clips of birth fitted in. the guy certainly wasn't being reborn - unless it was reborn as a killer. so why backwards? I really really liked the focus changes, the camera 'blinks'. they fitted nicely and there were times i was unsure if i had blinked or the film had... if the purpose of that was mere effect, then it was great. if it was, like the plot of the movie, to further educate us in the mechanisms of control, then bravo.

To be an exquisite film. Milo v. is a great actor, one of my personalities is the exact one he portrays and I would imagine is inherent to him as well. Seeing how he is so convincing, the truth in acting is that it is not acting. . 10/10 on acting 7/10 audio/setup/ugly women . Follow the great's. I must now pad my review for the further review of above stated ALARM notice. I am now conforming to guideline standards for my review of the movie to be publicly stated. Is this 10 lines of text yet? Gosh I hope my review is not too strongly criticized in the negative. Counts lines again, starting from above eyes skipping down in a methodical pattern. Comes to the conclusion this is indeed running now into my 11th line.

First things first: if it weren't for Sex and the City 2, this would be the worst film of the year.This film actually starts out promising with fast-paced plot progression and unique editing techniques. Ultimately, the movie stalls with nowhere to really go and the editing becomes over zealous. The editing tries to be "new age" but becomes annoying and repetitive. Ultimately, this film turns into a 90 minute long montage of crap that doesn't really make sense. This movie offers no redemption and certainly does not provide any answers. But, looking back, it doesn't offer any meaningful questions to answer in the first place. Skip this one.

This movie describes a poor guy how to lose his fiancée, then this job, at last maybe his free.I advise you not waste time on this movie. You can get nothing but CHAOS. Chaotic tread and chaotic music, totally chaotic. Of course, maybe it is also the goal of this movie.I spent 3 days to watch this movie because it always made me sleepy.Frankly speaking, I think the only thing you will learn from this movie is how to make low-cost movie.Anyway, I also need to appreciate this director. Not every movie must be wonderful, wonderful movies need such boring movies to make themselves standout. I guess whichever movie I will watch next, it must be a good movie. :)
