Jack's Apocalypse

I recently took a chance on this after seeing it on Amazon and I have to say that I'm glad I did.

It's a small, independent film but it didn't feel like it or have that 'tv movie' look. Okay it wasn't full of special effects but it didn't need to be.

What pulled it through was the acting of the lead actor and the likability of his character. A good film, that was well written, was slightly different, had an interesting premise and kept me entertained.

JACK'S APOCALYPSE is a well-made personal story with a great lead performance. If you're more into psychological horror and post-apocalyptic storylines that deal with the how the characters are feeling and dealing with their fate, kind of the The Walking Dead, then this film is for you. The themes and questions it deals with are similar, but they're dealt with deeply and considerately. Also Dave Maldonado is a really great actor that I hope to see more of. If you're looking for a unique take on post-apocalyptic drama, then you should see JACK'S APOCALYPSE.

Very clever film here - misleading by the title (if you don't pause to think), but wholly, dynamically satisfying. The cinematography matches anything on TV today, and even reminds me of The Leftovers on HBO. This is a story of addiction and the devastating ripples it can create, but there IS redemption in this story I appreciate not getting punched in the gut with a downward spiral, designed just to show a character's self-destruction. Well done here. With a name actor, I think we'd be seeing this film in a wider release. Maybe the next one?

...not even the genre I was expecting.

Rather expected a post apocalyptic survival movie and while there is a rather white bread version of this as the setting(ish) this is more of an exploration of addiction.

Zero budget, but decently scripted and well acted.

Special effects were non existent, but not especially needed.

At 1 hour 20 min it moved along well.

Ultimately if you head into this one expecting action or indeed anything other than a drama, you will likely be disappointed. Taken for what it actually is it is a decent flick.

Worth the time spent to watch it but never gonna be a favorite or a classic.

A man with three distinct lives and personalities, confronts the question of what is truth; and what is life. And what are these things worth? Watch this odd mindbender of a movie; and ask these questions of yourself. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site.
