Painless

I stumbled across the trailer of this movie and was curious to check it out. What a treat. This is a smart, human, original piece of indie cinema that works really well as a drama as well as a thriller. The main character who cannot feel pain is riddled with so much mental anguish that his face exudes it in a way that evokes so much empathy. The movie defies genre expectations and manages to deliver a very compelling human character-drama along with what feels like a carefully researched sci-fi-thriller (in the true sense of "science" rather than fantasy). One is reminded of Aronofsky's Pi in the best of ways - but this film has so much more to offer. I highly recommend it.

I watched this 2 days ago and found it so and so.Could have been so much better...

This is about a guy who can not feel physical pain. He is trying to find a way to remedy his condition.

This was a bit of a drag for me. I was expecting it to be much more thriller than drama but once it fell into the drama rut, it just never found a way out. I guess if you are looking for a slow, dark drama it could meet you needs. If you are wanting a thriller you are better advised to look elsewhere.

"Painless" is a strange drama about a lonely young scientist with a rare disease that makes him feel no physical pain. He researches the cure and is supported by his physician that treats him since he was a child. He is afraid of hurting himself since he is painless. The only twist in the storyline is when he feels attracted by a young woman he meets in the subway and when an ambitious unethical scientist proposes to help him. Although developed in slow pace and with few things happening, "Painless" has details and in the end holds the attention of the viewer. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Was fliipping thru what to watch and this caught my eye. I enjoyed it very much. There were times Henry got on my nerves. I wanted to scream just live! I wanted him to have romance. I cried at different part of the film. I've never seen any of these actors and was amazed how great they were. I especially liked the Good Dr. Forgot his name. The end really made me cry. I saw a person write this was scifi? I don't think so? Any ways I must of really liked t because watched it last night and just woke up and here I am reviewing.
