Reviews
Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Lucas Jefferson If you are tired of mainstream Hollywood movies, but afraid of boring indies, here's one for you. Not a remake, reboot, or sequel, this is an ambitious and slick little thriller that sneaks up on you, draws you in, and takes you for a ride. The plot is tight and clever, and the dialogue is snappy and peppered with hardboiled humor.The production values are amazingly good for an indie. The cinematography looks like a pulp noir watercolor book cover come to life. The shots are creative and well composed without drawing attention to themselves. The detailed sound design enhances the suspense which leads up to the gun and fight scenes which are skillfully done.The caliber of acting is also surprisingly good. Nick Principe plays "Len" a ruthless criminal, but with a moral code that just makes his character have more edge and complexity. Catherine Annette's "Susan" brings a plucky likeablity to a role that drags her through some tough and unflattering situations. Nikki Bohm plays a unique and memorable character, a sultry pregnant villain I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. Intrigued? Buy it and support an entertaining original.
MarcusMA I saw this at Rock and Shock. It was really good!! I would see it again I think I missed some of the plot because a guy made a lot of noise taking his kids out of the theater. I don't know why anyone brings little kids to horror movies. Anyways, this was awesome. It didn't look cheap at all. We thought it was a short and didn't realize that it was a full length movie. After 20 minutes we looked at each other and were like we're staying. It starts off with really cool credits and was surprised at how many different camera stuff they did. What made it amazing is that this film had a good story and cool characters and the violence and gore is so sudden and fast. The guy who played the bad guy I found out was Chromeskull but here he was scary and funny. His girlfriend was mean and cool and weird. The main actress was believable too and she didn't make stupid choices like so many horror movies. This wasn't really a horror movie but it was real suspenseful so I guess it fits in anyway and it has some gore and it is way intense.
johhnylefko I was psyched to see this movie at Rock and Shock. I almost missed it because my girlfriend went for a smoke. It was wicked awesome that Nick Principe did a into. Dude is like 6'8' or something. He was funny and then a guy from Dread Central who said it was an intense movie. One of the directors talked a bit too and I was surprised at how good it looked and sounded for they filmed it in 2 weeks. You wouldn't know it. It felt and sounded like a big movie. It was f***' outstanding. Wicked awesome story. Tension, some gore and good surprise end. Nick Principe is big in this. For real. I'm a big tattoo fan and Nick is inked up. This movie shows all his tats. It was one of the best thing I did the whole weekend. I caught Danzig on Sat night that was f'n outstanding too. I bought the DVD and got the shirt and the directors gave me a free poster You all should get your ass somewhere to see this one.
tiernata Nobody Can Cool proved to be a moody and atmospheric suspense thriller. Its color palate cleverly supports a pair of menacing characters, Len and Gigi, who are awaiting the arrival of someone they fear. Before that encounter, they must deal with the unexpected intrusion of a pair of young professionals, a shallow couple with problems of their own. In a remote cabin that each couple expected not to share, trouble begins when the young professionals discover that their bedroom door has been locked. Not willing to accept this situation, Susan, the more assertive and ambitious of the pair, climbs out the bedroom's window and, as the plot develops, into increasing conflict with the looming Len and the aggressive but very pregnant Gigi. If Nick Principe, who plays Len, did not say a word, his presence would bring to the screen echoes of the unhinged villains encountered in comic books. He promises to be the constant source of the misery that Susan and her companion will confront. However, the malice of the expectant Gigi, who speaks with a foreign accent, is not long kept in check. Her pregnancy has not softened her or made her life affirming. In fact, the sequence that establishes her character conveys something grotesque, vulgar or sordid. Such plot elements are woven into a tight and compelling script. The exchanges between the characters are convincing and quickly move the action forward. There are no wasted words. The low-level lighting, in many of the scenes, adds to the film's gritty depiction of the situations of the characters. The very tall, bald, slightly bearded and heavily tattooed Len, in fact, often seem to emerge out of darkness, as if he were an element of a distressing dream. Moreover, every one of the film's agents is in some sort of nightmare or trap. Other stylistic elements contribute to the film's unsettling atmospherics. Attention is often called to the passing of time, as the film's unwinding moves us closer to inevitable catastrophe. One could add to this the nighttime setting, the remoteness of the cabin and the eerie sound effects. What most struck me in the film's first half hour was how well it was put together. Each scene moved seamlessly to the next; the visually jarring elements were intentionally so. The camera's movements were well considered, and the final product seemed the result of careful consideration of how the cuts between shots would contribute both to the revelation of character and to the tensions that were basic to the action. The brevity of some of those early shots, coupled with the red and green colors that dominate each frame, suggests that the film's directors might have wanted to evoke the panels of classic crime comics. But there is no detective or comic book hero to resolve the villainy and mayhem in this film. Nobody Can Cool shows what can be done with a well-developed script and a cast that works together. Highly recommended.
