This Old Machine

I can't relate to the low opinions and star ratings. I'm convinced that the director executed his artist and story-telling vision. The movie portrays high, messy humanity at its worst, and the actors come across as real-life individuals -- no make-up, no beautiful people, no perfect statements/lines,... no contrivances. The acting was real people talking as real people talk and real people do. I feel Henriksen was particularly effective. This movie is life with a little 'l' delivering Life with a big 'L' truth about the human condition. I found it engaging and effective at establishing and sustaining authentic dramatic tension. I still don't like shaky-cam, but here I think it worked; and, sure, there was loose end or two remaining, but life has loose ends, and the story remained focused.

The only thrilling thing about this movie is that it ends, poor performance from everyone involved, save your time, stare at the wall instead.

For sure this isn't a masterpiece, for sure the movie is even boring most of the time, but there's still some interesting sequences and some correct acting. When I've see the rating was under 2 stars I was kinda surprised! Particularly when some Asylum movies have a way better overall ratings! Honestly this movie is way better than 99% of the Asylum titles and deserve to have a less negative rating. I can't strongly suggest to have a try but if you have an opportunity to watch it don't be too repulsed with this idea, particularly if you like Lance Henriksen.

My real rating is probably 3.5 out of 10, the 5 is only to correct the awful overall rating over Imdb.

Horrible movie, acting was terrible. So vague in certain aspects too hard to figure out. I was really disappointed although the story line could have at least gone somewhere more.

Took the advice of the previous review and watched wall. Great experience.
