The Electric Man

Ok it's not completely terrible but so not worth watching IF you have nothing else to do, are bored, can't find anything to watch watching it at 2x the normal speed, it's not terrible it's an interesting concept feels more like a school project type film the acting isn't bad, i've seen a lot worse, but it's just...eh....for a movie, no, for a one man type show, it's ok....as I said ;) watch it at 2x the speed and it's tolerable.

Yep here we go again someone with too many dollars and not enough sense has made a movie, unfortunately they didn't have enough for a capable scriptwriter, competent director or actors capable of expressing anything other than a shout to indicate anger.

Even Eric 'where's my paycheck' Roberts also succumbs to that failing.

Why oh why do these dingbats do this instead of parking their egos and investing in the huge range of whatchamacallit, talent, currently littering the planet who are able to write, direct or act in a great movie if only they had the dollars to realise their goal.

Don't believe the spruikers who have posted reviews outta either care for their friends who made this turkey or the dollars whatever rich fool who funded it paid them.

This movie fails on every aspect of film-making. In fact its a damn shame the DP remembered to remove the lens cap.

What The Electric Man does have is some interesting ideas and dialogue about life, how we live it and the choices we make. Or whether we even have the ability to choose or if everything is predestined and fated. I know these are heavy subjects and a lot of viewers will find themselves bored by them. But there's a vein of humour through a lot of the film that keeps it from getting too ponderous and heavy, a fairly impressive task given the material at hand. Viewers who don't mind dialogue-heavy films and serious themes should find The Electric Man an interesting watch. While it does have a point of view it never pushes it to the point of alienating those, like myself, who don't necessarily agree with it. I will say I wasn't thrilled by the way it all works out in the end, but others will probably get a chuckle from it.

This felt like a badly scripted sci-fi b-movie about a guy who gets electrocuted and see's things as an after effect. Acting is rather wooden but was interesting in areas.
