Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Rainey Dawn On the run after murdering a man, accountant William Blake encounters a strange North American man named Nobody who prepares him for his journey into the spiritual world.Wonderful film -- truly spiritual, heartfelt, warm and moving. Excellent casting and overall look/feel to the movie -- love the Black and White.8.5/10
Fahad this is a rare movie and full of feelings it doesn't have that interesting events but it somehow it takes you deep in it, it has real good drama and it has remarkable directing. and the music absolutely wonderful and it goes smoothly with the movie, the music it really support the movie and it play heavy role in making this movie incredible , for me without this music the movie well be a bit boring, johnny depp is a well pick for this role, and the B&W photography gives the movie his uniqueness.
S.L. Kotar (GSFE) This film has more "fade to black" scene changes than a hacked TV episode on TV Land. And that's the good news. The soundtrack will drive you insane after the first ten seconds but if you turn the sound off you won't miss anything. Johnny Depp was brilliant, John Hurt was the best part of the film and the other actors were awful. None of them could decide what dialect to use and the dialect was cringe-worthy throughout. The theme "no one can live as a legend" must have been concocted by an ad man trying to sell this turkey. The best scene was with Johnny Depp and a stuffed fawn but the director did not have the skill to make it poignant. Just awful.
Nobody When I first heard the strum of a distorted guitar ten minutes into the movie, I thought "wow, that was annoying, I hope that never happens again'... If only I knew that the entire score was the same f***ing sound repeated for every literal beat of this movie.Nothing about this movie works:-the editing was so poorly executed that I thought my Wifi went down.-Every transition is just a fade to black as if it was made for TV in the 70's-The writing feels like a flower child wanted to write about his inner workings, but was too pretentious, high, and incompetent that it comes off as such. Any symbolism or spiritual undertones are so incredibly flat and obvious that it's ridiculous to even be labeled as 'cerebral' on Netflix.-the acting (aside from the young Depp) was so poor that it felt like a soap opera. everything from the stuck up, angry old man in his office, to the stereotyped Indian cut-outs to the shoot-out at the very end of the movie that made me burst out laughing at how lazy, stupid, and melodramatic it was.-there's no reason to film in black and white, nothing else was ever attended to in cinematography because it looked semi-artsy enough to hold over a regular audience without making anything original or coherent.-every act of violence in this movie appears to be baby's first SFX, the man's head getting crushed looked like f***ing clay. the child getting hit with a rifle didn't even come close to contact. The makeup of Depp's face looks like it was made of crayola wax.Don't watch this movie unless you have a hard-on for style over substance. but even then, there is no style to this movie, it's garbage. the only way this kind of laziness could be accepted is if it was made in the 30's. This came out the same year as Braveheart, 12 Monkeys, Heat, Se7en, and The Usual Suspects...This is 2 hours of your life that not only will you not get back, but they will be forced out of you like a f***ing laxative.
