Jack's Apocalypse

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.

The movie opens with Jack stumbling around the streets in a blizzard of cocaine and alcohol addiction. The people closest to him are barely alluded to, until his brother demands he meet him with some terrible news and a task to take on.

I enjoyed this. Jack is a sympathetic and well acted character, the pacing is nice, and the sense of space around the movie works for me.

There is a reasonable story arc and movement in the characterisation.

It hit a spot.

It wasn't the best movie I have ever seen, but it hit a spot.

At the end of Castaway where Tom Hanks is left with his beachball and the woman who drives away and he's there, kind of wondering, thats what this movie is like.

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?

Definite apocalypse feel but different from anything I've ever seen... great story, good characters! I really loved this movie

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.
