AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

ShangLuda Admirable film.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

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.

disdressed12 "Paint Job" is a wry,black comedy about a painter who pursues his boss's wife.his boss as it turns out is a serial killer in their small town.this movie is amusing at times,always entertaining and always bizarre the film is populated with an assortment of quirky(to say the least)characters.in fact there is no one in the film who can be described as normal.Wil Patton is Wesley,the painter who falls for his boss's wife.Bebe Neuwirth plays the wife,and Robert Pastorelli plays the boss/serial killer.the movie is subtle in its humour,more ironic than anything,and absurd at times.i particularly liked Neuwirth's performance as the somewhat dim wife,although all the performances were good.i did not have any expectations going in,so was pleasantly surprised at how effective and entertaining the film was.if you expect to be rolling around in hysterics,look elsewhere.otherwise,prepare to be amused and entertained. a strong 6/10

jotix100 Michael Taav's film came out of nowhere, as I don't think this movie was ever commercially shown, at all. The director, working with his own material does wonders in presenting a film that is mysterious, sexy and gory at various stages, but it will never bore, or disappoint the curious viewer.The casting of the film is wonderful. We don't get to see much of actors of the caliber of the ones involved in this Indie often. Mr. Taav seems to be telling us there are a lot more things involved in human relations than really meet the eye. What happens at the beginning of the film in a sequence that is amazing, will ruin someone's life forever because of the action of an abusive parent.The triangle at the center of the story is thrown together by circumstances beyond their control. Will Patton does another excellent appearance as Wesley, the man obsessed with Margaret, who is married to his boss. Robert Pastorelli, RIP, was wonderful as Willie, a man who is more mysterious than what he appears on the surface. Bebe Neuwirth is Margaret the repressed wife. This actress gives one of the best performances of her career. The last scene at the abandoned house that needs a paint job is something so original, yet no American film, in recent memory, has dared to show the climax in such a "colorful" detail. Mr Taav shows he has a great talent worth waiting for his next film will be welcomed by the ones that watched this movie and hopefully a wider audience.

dryden_96 I saw The Paint Job on HBO at two in the morning and was both pleased and surprised. I liked the film; it was alternately absurd, funny, scary, and tender. Also, rather than being a mere exercise in absurdity (i.e Being John Malkovich), it was actually about something. What surprised me was that I never knew this film existed. I doubt if it was ever released and wonder why, when it is clearly more surprising, original and well-performed than most of the movies I pay $9 to see.

andreyev66 The Paint Job is a peculiar hybrid; it could be characterized as a thriller, a rather odd romantic comedy, and as a romantic satire. And while I found this to be an unsettling mix--one was not always quite sure how to respond--my general take on the film was positive. The pacing was admittedly too slow at times, but the writing was quite strong, the performances of Ted Levine, Robert Pastorelli, Bebe Neuwirth, and Will Patton were first rate, and climactic battle was like no other I have ever seen
