Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

zachjepson I don't recall a worse movie...painful. Wanted to quit watching 10 minutes in. Should have. Please don't watch.

itsbobr Joe (Joaquin Phoenix) a war veteran with PTSD tracks down missing girls for a living. His past torments him and he has hallucinations and experiences a distorted sense of reality. He contemplates suicide but doesn't do it, but does practice it with a plastic bag over his head and pulls it away at the last second.Remind me next time a Joaquin Phoenix is in a movie to really check it out before sitting down with it. He seems to revel in the Artsy movies, very slow with constant screen shots of his face. Okay his character is tormented about his past, lives with his mother and uses a ball peen hammer as his weapon of choice when confronting those who harm children. He goes about his business in a very calm manner killing those in his way. The title is so that when he kills someone he cleans everything up like he was never there. His next assignment is to free Senator Votto's (Allexl Manette) daughter Nina (Ekaterina Samsonov) and he does, but there is a twist about all this and you won't like it. This is very slow going and we never know what avenue Joe will go down next and for we in the audience this is somewhat annoying. Joe doesn't talk much. Scenes jump around a lot. All along in this we see flashbacks of his time in the war. Also the music never seems to fit.Notables: Frank Pando as Angel, Joe's first handler; John Doman as John McCleary Joe's second handler; Judith Roberts as Joe's mother.NOW consider that all this is a fantasy that Joe has about everything and nothing is real except in his mind. He was never in the war. He fantasizes about saving Nina who is really his mother, who he very close to, but he is the one who kills her; and in the diner at the end Joe actually does commit suicide and that should have been the last scene, but it wasn't. The very last scene has Nina coming back from the bathroom and says, "let's go as it's a nice day out there. So maybe he didn't commit suicide. See? I don't. So you decide. As for me I will be more careful about Joaquin Phoenix movies. Don't care for Artsy movies as I never really understand them. (5/10)Violence: Yes. Sex: No. Nudity: No. Humor: No. Language: Yes. Rating: C

alastherider ...said the writer to the plot.............................................................................................

westsideschl We have the usual troubled ex-military or ex-cop performing some vigilante duties for money. Lot's of flashbacks to his troubled abused youth. A stereotypical hook for this type of film genre. Tool of choice - a hammer thus a bit bloody, but little shown. The movie's plot is, unfortunately, an exploitation of a subject not to play film-making with which is the sex exploitation of young females (ironically, Amazon who backed this film in it's new venture is making money off of exploiting this topic). Interesting song choices as background used to parallel the storyline. So, with that in mind to Amazon and it's monied destruction of it's once beautiful host city I offer this song parody: Amazon paved paradise And put up building lots Don't it always seem to be You don't know what you have Till it's gone Thank you Amazon
