SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

carbuff Why am I rating this nearly mediocre movie so high? Because being different is worth something. The plot seemed to be unique to me. I get tired of the same old plots and plot devices, and this one seemed really strange in a good way, which more than made up for the obvious plot holes and pretty average acting. Some of the script lines were pretty entertaining too. Overall, a short film that I enjoyed because it was so unusual and weird, not because it was great or compelling art. My suggestion is that you're only risking 87 minutes, so you can give it a try, and if doesn't hold your attention, just cut it short. For me personally, it was an unconventional movie that happened to be a pleasant diversion.

Tss5078 This is one of the strangest films I have ever seen and I really liked it. When Flypaper first started, it was absolutely ridiculous, to a point where I almost turned it off. If it wasn't for a huge cast I really like, I would have. The story starts off simple enough, a man is making a deposit at a bank and hitting on the pretty young teller, when armed men attempt a robbery, which is halted by another crew robbing the same bank at the same time. Suddenly, a customer is murdered by a mysterious third party and chaos ensues. From there the film is broken into three parts, including the hostages trying to figure out what's going on, the trained crew trying to break into the vault, and the redneck crew trying to get into the ATM's with massive amounts of plastic explosives. The story is crazy and hard to follow at first, but then it actually becomes pretty funny. Tripp (Patrick Dempsey) is convinced that something strange is going on and decides to investigate. Dempsey's OCD personality and crazy antics are funny, but the way the rest of the cast responds to him is what's really funny. As for the two crews they each have problems of their own, which also leads to some funny moments. The rest of the cast is full of stars, something you wouldn't expect in a film like this. Ashley Judd, Octavia Spencer, Jeffery Tambor, John Ventamiglia, and Mekhi Phiffer all have bit parts that in the end turn out to be important to the story, because as it turns out, Tripp is right, there is something really messed up going on. The weirdness and hilarity build to an Ocean's Elevenesq ending that was a pretty surprising twist. Right from the beginning, Flypaper seemed like an absolute bomb, but I stuck with it and it resulted in a ton of laughs, a somewhat interesting mystery, and an unexpected ending that will leave you speechless.

Thomas Aitken This film had all the ingredients and potential to be something memorable, but in the end it petered out to a rather average and predictable ending.It just felt a little bit rushed, almost like it was paced a bit too fast, and it rushed to its conclusion rather than adding a few more scenes and developing the characters and plot a bit more effectively - at times the frenetic pace of the movie literally left you trying to figure out what exactly was happening (and I don't mean in the good sense, but rather in the 'I've lost track of whose where, doing what' sense).In fact the speed at which this movie is executed is exactly why it becomes obvious that one particular character is not the bad guy - sure, the accusation is made but the editing just doesn't leave any room for audience doubt, thus causing any possible suspense to be stripped from that scene.The other area where this film falls down (and majorly so in my opinion) is with the constant f-bombs (and worse, at one point) - it is literally every second word for several of the characters, and as a result it becomes really jarring and starts to distract the viewer from the movie. I guess someone though it would add humor to the film, but in the end it actually becomes a tiring distraction. Overuse of the F word is often a sign of a lack of comedic acting ability, which is exactly the case in this movie. You'll notice that the two hillbilly bank robbers are the most comically well crafted characters in the film, and yet they use the f-word very sparingly. Both actors are comedians by nature, and their skill is what carries the performance, not a cheap recourse to excessive f-bombs.Had all the makings of a classic comedy, but in the end it just failed to launch.

kosmasp It's a nice little thriller that has quite a lot of flaws. But the same can be said about a lot of other movies too. So while I'm not a particularly big fan of movies who are obviously trying too hard to be cool, it almost works with this one. The sentiment is good and the main characters are really working good off each other.There might be some twists that are not as convincing as others (going back to the trying to be cool/funny bit), but the movie still manages to entertain with the variety of characters thrown into the mix. It might be cliché a few times during the running time and some might wish it to be more extreme in some ways, but overall it is nice little fun
