Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

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.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) Pretty good casting choice if you ask me. "Deathdealer: A Documentary" is a 14-minute fake documentary written and directed by Andrew T. Watts back in 2004. A camera crew tell us about the life of a man who is dressed like a business man or contract killer, but he really is a lot more than that. The film is listed as documentary and drama here on IMDb, but it is a lot more than that. There is mystery in here, maybe even horror, science fiction and fantasy and certainly some crime elements too. And last but not least, the whole midlife crisis aspect has a lot of dark humor attached to it. I am not too familiar with Henry Rollins, even if I may have come across him already I think, but here he won me over. This was a pretty good watch, certainly a positive surprise and I recommend it.

fcassadine I am so glad to see Henry Rollins doing so well in his life. I met him when I was teen at one of his shows and he always left me wondering more of what talent he could come up with!I loved growing up to Rollins and Danzig!Very impressive to my youth hood. Now at 42 years old it is great to see such astonishing talent still doing so well in the market today. For many oldies we wish for it to be the roaring 80s again! LOL! You could ad as many 10s to this film! . This film is nothing but a must see! (To HR!) Keep up with the great work and in your new found projects may you be blessed with more fine work!

MartinHafer This is a very, very dark but humorous short mockumentary. Henry Rollins is the star of this film and at first you'd think by the way he talks and dresses that he is a hit-man--it sure had me fooled. However, over time you realize that while he IS talking about killing people, he is in fact a grim reaper! Now the lore surrounding his job isn't all that new--heck, the ideas from this film appeared a year earlier in the Showtime series "Dead Like Me"--such as his need to touch people and the way he goes about his job sans the hood and scythe. However, what does make this short film come to life is how it is all presented as a documentary. These days there are so many documentaries and independent films but doing one about a reaper is majorly original. Plus the delivery of Rollins, the film's style and ending really make this one of the best live action short films I've seen. The only reason it didn't score a 10 is the whole "Dead Like Me" angle--it loses a point for lacking some originality. But as for the film otherwise, it's great and far better than many of the Oscar-nominated ones I've seen--including most of this year's crop of Oscar shorts.By the way, if you like this short, try also watching VERONICA V.--a mockumentary that is similar to this one but about a party girl who also happens to be a vampire. Very clever and similar in tone to DEATHDEALER.

Ham_and_Egger This is a short mockumentary about an unfulfilled door-to-door salesman named Vincent (Henry Rollins). Alright, you find out pretty quick that he's really what you might call the Angel of Death. He's still unfulfilled though.I was a little suspicious that this might turn out to be one of those hyperactive things you'd see late at night on MTV2, and maybe it is but it's not bad. It's filmed with an on-the-go camera style but the editor did remember to take his Ritalin. There's a lot of gallows humor but the death scenes aren't played for laughs and carry a surprising weight.Rollins is effective as the shirt-and-tie grim reaper, checking into cheap motels, eating in diners, all the while talking into the camera about how this is just a job for him and he's thought about "retiring early" and buying into a Jack-in-the-Box franchise that he just happens to know has opened up recently.The movie wisely stops just short of getting didactic, leaving the viewer to fill in most of the blanks about careerism, the possibility for change, oblivion, etc.
