Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Ultimately Watchable with some Stunning Dark Cinematography, Color, and Expressionistic Elements. The Look of the Thing is the Thing here and if You are Compelled by Non-Linear Story Formats, and Dreamlike Presentations, this Movie is a Must.But be Advised it is a Dense Screenplay with not a lot that is Easy Going Intellectually. It's Neo-Noir Niche is Derivative of David Lynch and the Coen Brothers. The Acting is Surprisingly Well Done and the Movie is a Fascinating Alternate-Universe with Perplexing Turns and Supernatural Elements.For a Low-Budget Indie this is an Excellent Effort and the Film is Beautifully Framed with some Interesting Camera Angles and the Dialog is Spiffy, Although Most of the Movie is Mentally Challenging in a Good-Bad Way. But it is Interesting All the Way.

Fortunately, I didn't let the low ratings this film has received dissuade me from seeing it. Borrowing elements from filmmakers such as the Coen brothers, David Lynch, and David Cronenburg, the writer/director of "Nobody" managed to create his own unique and surreal neo-noir movie. The cinematography and production design is visually stunning, and the meticulously crafted script originated the kind of narrative thread that was later used in the more highly praised "Triangle." The story is not a confusing mess that randomly ends without any closure, as some have suggested; rather, it is a narrative in which the resolution (or lack of) is inextricably tied to the beginning (as was the case in the movie "Memento"). As in all noir films, the mystery is unraveled by an eventual understanding of past events; however, circumstances occurring in the story have led to these past events being revisited in an unusual way. It's unfortunate that this narrative has been the object of all its criticisms, as the narrative is precisely what makes this film so interesting and unique.

Every so often there is an indie film that is not only far better than most of what Hollywood makes, but surpasses everything in Hollywood a hundred-fold. Nobody is a dark, foreboding psychological shocker with gorgeous, haunting cinematography, and explosive performances from its leads, Costas Mandylor and Ed O' Ross.The story takes place in a nameless, virtually empty urban hell hole of a city, where it seems to be perpetually nighttime. (kind of like the city in The Crow, but almost deserted. The hit-man Mortemain (Mandylor) navigates the cluttered alleyways and dank, dimly lit streets looking for his target, contracted out to him by the ruthless crime figure Rolo Towles (O' Ross). Things get murky and surreal when time seems to elipse upon itself like a snake eating its own tale, and Mortemain seems to be stuck in a hellish twilight zone crossed with a rabbit hole in the fabric existence. Events repeat themselves, a mysterious doppleganger of Mortemain appears, time doubles back on itself, and mysterious phenomena plagues the characters, leaving us challenged, freaked out and giddily entertained (well, me anyway).The films composition is strikingly beautiful for a low budget indie, from the blood red sky along a lonely country road to desolate, snowy streets.This film is like a mashup of Sin City, Memento, and The Twilight Zone, with its own special and unique flavor. Highly recommended.

Saw this film at Thriller! Chiller! in Grand Rapids, Michigan and it's fantastic! A true neo-noir masterpiece on par with anything Hollywood could possibly throw at the viewer except that Nobody doesn't treat the audience as stupid and offers us a prime example of digital film-making at it's finest. The acting, the cinematography, the art direction, the sound design, the story, the kitchen sink, etc., etc., all work so well together that I was totally absorbed from the first frame to the last.Mr. Linden and his cast/crew did a marvelous job in what I can only simply describe as The Third Man meets Primer without spoiling it for anyone. Search out this film and decide for yourself.
