Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Executscan Expected more

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Oguz Halavurta Mark is rejected by one more movie project. Permanent looser Mark is living in a wrecked house which he can't pay for the rent for three months together with his brother in wheel chair. His life is falling apart with his failures at job and problems with his girl friend. Leading role in his friend's movie sounds for him like the solution to everything. The script of Pierce who is an impenitent alcoholic coincides whit what we are watching. We can't be sure if the movie they want to make at this specific day is what we are watching or they are inspired by this day for their movie. After such shrewd start, movie presents 90 minutes laughters to us.Tragedies one after another don't change Mark's indifferent attitude to life even when he has lost almost everything. Mark's astonishment and Pierce's reactions are main objects of the movie represents British comedy manner. What is happening to them is too much absurd even for a movie according to a movie writer Pierce he says but they again find the solution in a scenario idea.Everything is fabulously funny in this good sample of British comedy which resembles "Shaun of Dead" and "Hot Fuzz". A Film With Me In It, second movie of Ian Fitzgibbon has various critics like his first job but still it attracts attention in some Festivals include Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA).

Ben Larson Mark Doherty not only stars in this film, he wrote it. I cannot imagine a mind that conceived of this. It is so bizarre that it is hilarious.We are talking two losers, Mark (Doherty) and his friend Pierce (Dylan Moran). Mark is faced with a series of accidents that leave him utterly incapable of action. He turns to Pierce, who just makes things worse.This film is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it is hilarious. Of course, you have to see the humor , not in the tragedies that occur, but in the response to it by Mark and Pierce.Amy Huberman was excellent in her role as Mark's girlfriend, leaving us wanting more in her short role.

tedg Once again, we have a script concept that is promising enough to matter. Once again, we have an inept film built on that idea, inept because the writer wanted to be in it.The overall shape is an ordinary, explicit fold: one buddy is a blocked film writer, the other and unemployed actor. Noir-inspired events transpire, messing with them while "giving them material" for a film we discover at the end is the film we are seeing. That shape is common. What is clever is the dialog that jumps from one side of the line to another, in and out of the movie, realizing that "out" is really "in." There are roles that are designated viewers: loyal dog, crippled brother, lecherous landlord, allsuffering girlfriend, kind policewoman. Each is developed as noir center then dispatched in the same tone that the dialog uses in dismissing genre ideas. It is really quite a brilliant script idea. If anyone could pull it off, it would be the Irish. They invented this. But alas, the film does not have enough energy to let us know when it is changing direction. You need sound to have music.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

Eruditass Ratings: 5 - Amazing 4 - Great 3 - Very good 2 - Good 1 - Fair 0 - Poor For more information about the ratings, please visit: http://critical-eruditass.blogspot.com/p/about-blog.htmlCharacters: 2 Screenplay: 2 Cinematography: 2 Emotional: 1Overall: 2.0The film does a good job of walking the line between tasteful and tasteless of dark comedy. Nothing in this film makes sense or is logical, but it isn't supposed to; each ridiculous twist and turn can be amusing. To me, it was amusing and I had a few laughs, but they can be a little sparse. And in the end, it leaves you feeling a bit empty. While that may be the point of the film, it also feels a bit like a television episode that was dragged on. Overall, I found it a good experience.The characters are stupid and illogical. Entertainment depends on whether or not one can get over this fact. At times I could laugh, but at times I was just dumbstruck. The actors also did a pretty good job of appearing similarly dumbstruck. Huberman, particularly, did quite well. Moran is his usual self.Not only is it hard to develop any kind of connection with the characters, but they can induce hate. At times, I just can't turn off shoe-switching. "WHY, YOU FOOL!" I scream in my head, but they never seem to hear me. Sometimes inducing this kind of emotion is good, but they overdid it and it can definitely begin to shift to annoyance, ruining the suspension of disbelief. The screenplay was absurd, in a good way, but could have flown better. The characters are introduced haphazardly and the buildup is very slow. Eventually I began wondering where the dead bodies were. The clear foreshadowing does create an interesting little "whose gonna get it" atmosphere, but they needed to anchor more of the script around it. If it was worked and teased a bit more, it would've been great. It got better as the bodies began piling up and the absurdities amounted.The tone of the film started off teetering between funny and serious, so some parts left the viewer uncertain as to how to feel. The ending expunged on the humor created and is a hate it or love it thing.The cinematography, on the other hand, was surprisingly aesthetic. With no flair, the angles and composition is well done for a low budget film. While I was never really drawn into the film, I enjoyed the brief nonsensical departure from sane people.
