Jack's Apocalypse

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.

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.

I watched this movie on the Android box. Right off the bat I could see the quality of the feed was not great, and normally I won't watch a movie if that's the case, but as I watched the intro scene and credits, I was already drawn into the movie. The protagonist is an alcoholic and drug addict, well acted, believable. I especially liked that the storyline moved quickly, sparing us any long drawn out set-up of the impending apocalypse. The clan of characters who eventually ban together are a unique blend, no real duds in the group, and some fine acting. An excellent soundtrack accompanies several key scenes, and the writing invokes some powerful emotional scenes as our protagonist confronts his inner demons. The film is only 80 minutes long, it could have been much longer, but I like that the writer/director chose to narrow the parallel story lines in favour of a tighter script. Interesting ending, all in all a satisfying apocalyptic film, sans zombies or gruesome disease riddled mutants.

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