Dangerous Methods

.....but the bad plot and the poor performance of the actors prevented it. At no time was there any tension, the actors seemed stiff and artificial. The role of the assistant in particular was absolutely miscast and came across as very stupid. Maybe a talented director and a good scrit writer should do this movie again......

It is always a sad task to review a film that could have been good because it had good writing, but was not properly executed by the director and the actors. Dangerous Methods is one of those unfortunate films. The storyline is very interesting, but the actors deliver their lines in an unconvincing manner, and the director does nothing to fix that problem. The poor acting may be due to inexperience on the part of most of the cast, or it may be partially due to poor directing. Regardless, the end result is unsatisfying and not believable. At least the writers of this tale have a bright future in the film industy.

Actually a pretty good movie, pleasantly surprised by this one!

Sometimes you experience indie films and it feels like a bunch of people that usually do higher budget stuff taking a foray into lower budget. The word seamless comes to mind, and I loove it when that happens. Naturalistic acting, good editing/pacing economical yet classy FX. Also it's rare that the characters are likeable(/attractive) it told a story and it did it well.

The movie is about a deranged method actor, Desmond Gage (Christopher Showerman), who is hiring a new personal assistant, Lacy (Rachele Brooke Smith). She makes the smartest move a young girl can do, moving into his remote cabin with no cell service at all. Please avoid this movie! The only reason I can give points is because Costas Mandylor (who plays Harry, father of Lacy) is in this movie. This movie has no direction, is boring, bad acting, no storyline, a lot of plot holes and an ending that will leave you even more confused as the movie itself. I am doing you all a favor, please avoid this movie at all cost. A waste of time and one of the worst movies I have seen this year.

My title describes both the movie and Lacy. She stuck around and stuck around, screwed the guy twice, passed up opportunities to get out. Strange how the cop and her dad happened to both show up at night. Too many coincidences and you have to have a total out of body experience to believe that an actor could "immerse" himself so much that he actually becomes someone else and doesn't remember anything when he gets "unimmersed." The luckiest character we saw was the cat....he didn't have to suffer through the whole thing.
