Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Stevieboy666 Low budget German movie about a couple who drive around filming people commit suicide in order to sell the footage. I found it an interesting idea and the end has a reasonable twist but this film really is hard to watch, not because I found it shocking but rather it due to it being so slow, boring and obviously faked. Watching a young girl lying on her bed for 5 minutes downing pills with alcohol before puking up isn't captivating viewing. Seeing a guy inject his penis with a lethal drug overdose isn't either, and so on. It all just looks so amateur, as are the attempt at English subtitles, (have spelt hav, for example). Jorg Buttgereit made dark, depressing films but he had real talent. The makers of this don't. The only reason that I watched it was because it was released in the UK on the Vipco label, most probably by far the worst film to have been done so - and that's saying something! Unless you hate yourself then give Suicide a miss

hasosch Raoul W. Heimrichs film "Finalcut.com" (2001) shows different people trying to commit suicide in different ways. A man who is determined to precipitate himself from a high building is unable to do it in the last moment. He calls himself a coward and asks for help. The question arises if these people who are unable to perform their chosen form of suicide act cowardly or not. First, in Germany and in most parts of Europe, people do not have the choice of shooting themselves. Therefore, they have to come up with strange ways to fulfill their desire, they cannot really choose. Not everybody is the type to jump from an altitude. Not everybody has the possibility to get a painless and quickly working poison. Not everybody knows that it is sufficient to chew half a pack of cigarettes. The girls who are portrayed in this film do not know, that they should have swallowed tablets against sea-sickness, that would have prevented them from throwing up, before they swallowed Valium together with Vodka.In short, failed suicides have at least two reasons: The unavailability of the way of going out of this life that fits to the respective type of person, and the lack of knowledge how to perform this action successfully. One man who is lethally sick from cancer suggests in the movie that there should be hospitals prepared for people who want to end their lives. As a matter of fact, there are none in Europe, and active euthanasia is prohibited by law (and passive euthanasia in several countries as well). From an ethic standpoints for humans and not for an abstract and unknown "god", it is not understandable that such institutions do not exist. Every child has to go almost twenty years through education in order to be ready to cope with the problems of everyday life. But nobody teaches adults even for twenty minutes what is to do if somebody cannot or does not want to go on living anymore. The results of this deplorable lack of information are lifetime invalids, crippled limbs, brain damages, visible cord-marks around the neck, scars around the wrists, etc. Everything concerning death, and not only suicide, is still tabooed, on both sides of the Ocean, and as far as I know on all five continents. The same people who have no problems to set children in this world do not even come to the idea that not everybody fits into this world. However, if they must or want to stop living, they are let alone. This movie should be shown and discussed in the schools around the globe.

ArmandTanzarian This film took me about 4 attempts to finish watching it. Not because it was so profound and disturbing - because it was so boring. Basically it consists of a the cameraman , documentary style, walking up to someones house or other location, meeting someone and watching them kill themselves. There are various methods used, pills, OD's wrist slitting, various personality types -a terminally ill man, angst ridden goths, a guilt ridden paedo etc. However, this soon becomes very boring and repetitive with each episode following the same pattern with no development of plot, character or interest. The episodes are intercut with b/w filmed from the dashboard footage of the protagonists, a man and a woman driving to and from the scenes ,and there is the attempt to develop a few ideas: they are recruiting people via a website and plan to sell the footage and create a media frenzy, the sometimes feel guilty and discuss stopping and also that the cameraman is slowly becoming implicated in the deaths, where for example, he pushes a paedo who cant do it into a lake, smothers and agonsied suicider and finally shoots a man who looks to be having second thoughts. The idea is probably to try to raise the question of the viewer's voyeuristic involvement in these deaths, but they don't pull it off, simply because the viewer knows the film is fake, despite the realistic devices as the single hand-held camera etc. After at least half a dozen too many of these suicides the 'plot' comes to a conclusion where the protagonists plot to fake the man's death by having the woman pretend to run him over with a truck, he jumps away at the last moment and they cut to a shot of a dummy, leaving them free to enjoy the fruits of their filming. Somehow the man trusts the woman to stop and is predictably run over and the film ends with the woman smiling as she drives off. This is a tedious film which doesn't manage to pull off the main points it's trying to make. there's no character development at all, you generally neither know nor care why these people are killing themselves and the final 'twist' can be predicted as soon as they suggest it. One to avoid and a massive disappointment despite the intriguing premise.

yourebeingfilmed FinalCut.com or Suicide as it is called in Troma's American release, is another DV movie, that longs to be gritty by being shot handycam style with the cameraman/character combination done in that pseudo documentary style that was popular late nineties to around 2000 , that seems to be in least in that dogme 95 aesthetic where you come to a location as is for a set, use only your camera mic for the sound, very minimal music and sound effects (most music being played on set by a stereo somewhere), no studio light just practicals, what seems to be improvisation by the actors,etc. One of those movies where it seems the only budgets was ten dollar mini-dv tapes, and the actors salaries if they were paid.The movies about a couple who film suicides for a website(that we never see in the movie or see them work on, just hear about) that they then think will be juicy/or exploitative to make them money or something .The movie seems to be trying to comment on that kind of Reality T.V./ Rotten.com /Faces of death exploitation though it's never very clear why they're doing it, except to maybe get a cheap thrill or make a little money and it's definitely not clear why the people committing suicide are allowing themselves to be videotaped.Anyway, the movie's basic flow is a long kind of confessional suicide by some person, and then a short interlude with the couple commenting on how the footage of that suicide went, as they drive in the car to the next suicide to film. You never really get to know much about the main characters, and you never see the people who are committing suicide for the video's other than the short time before they do themselves in, so the viewer longs for more depth to the subject matter or more characterization. This approach could be explained away into the very minimal nature of the movie, but it comes off as too minimal, as if it's begging for you to read more into it than it's really delivering. The movie definitely as a staccato kind of rhythm with these scenes in this storytelling style, but it's also that repetition that makes you start to lose interest in each new scenes similarities. The movie kind of plays on that whole filmmaker documenting killer of abuser of some sort who inadvertedly starts to participate in the killing or exploitation that he's filming, and may start to enjoy it. (You definitely get the feeling that the filmmakers saw "Man bites Dog" or "Series 7", but those two movies pull it off better). The movie also plays with the thought, that maybe the first suicides were faked as to get get participation by suicidal people later. But those two potentially juicy subjects are not developed enough either in spite of or because of it's minimalist/earnest style. On the upside, some of it's pretty well acted for the most part (some of the suicides don't ring true, but are they supposed to at first?) It definitely has some moments that our bit disturbing (which is why you're probably interested in the movie) it's too short at 85 minutes to completely drag the concept out too far, and the style works for the movie (though you can never tell with these types of movies, whether the moviemakers thought:I got this really interesting disturbing idea for a movie lets make it lo-fi/ or, we could quickly, cheaply, and easily make a lo-fi/dogme type of movie what would make people watch it.)Anyway, I'm going on tangents. I would give this movie about a five, it moderately keeps your attention for it's duration, but it could be much a jucier subject, and the movie's not nearly as disturbing or provocative as it wants to be.
