      Rather surprised by this little film...

      Saw this in the Village on closing day of the NY Independent Festival, and walking out of the theater I had to remark to a friend how surprisingly accomplished it was for a no-budget, no-name genre entry. The caper dashes quickly along and the lines are often stinging - it gave me the feeling of an older B movie, the kind you used to see on late-night TV. Polito isn't in the film nearly enough, but the few sparkling moments are perhaps his brightest since Miller's Crossing. The lead actor Cory McAbee is oddly interesting and pulls the plot along through a strange magnetism - not a pretty face, but one worth watching. There are blemishes here and there, but considering the dearth of indie "films" out there, taken soooo seriously, this sleeper is the one that deserves a look. How far this film goes is hard to say, but if it appears on DVD its likely to please a few filmlovers who stumble upon it, because it really hearkens back to days when filmmakers took care to craft a story well.

      Unusually good

      I had seen this film at Telluride, but since it was playing in my neighborhood during the Tribeca Film Festival, I took a friend out of curiosity to see if he responded to it as well as I did and also to see if the filmmakers had made any changes to the cut (they hadn't).

      As I suspected, my friend was impressed with the thoughtfulness and intricacy of the story and urged me to post my reflections online for others to be encouraged by this modest achievement. I can see that there are others who have already articulated their thoughts here, but since I have committed to making a contribution, I will add my own comments.

      If I had to sum this movie up in one word it would be atmospheric (I use this in the traditional sense of the word; not to create an atmosphere, but to give a sense of one that is not actually there.) Always in this film there is a presence of desire and frustration, not only in the eyes of the main actor, but among the words and actions of his closest friends. Even some of the villains seem to possess this desperation, and that also helps to create the atmosphere. Here are some of the other qualities that make "Charlie the Ox" atmospheric to me:

      This movie is thoughtfully organized.

      Every character is developed.

      Every moment advanced the narrative.

      The actors were all convincing.

      The direction was interesting.

      The backgrounds were fitting.

      The storyline was complicated but involving.

      There is nothing bad I can say about this movie. Anybody who is thinking about watching this film, or is about to go to the video store and rent something to watch, or has never watched an independent movie before should do themselves a favor and watch this film. I urge all you cynics to give this film a go. Take my word for it, you will not be disappointed.

      Marvelous caper that deserves repeated viewings.

      This may be the most impressive film I saw at Telluride. While most of the other festival-goers were busy rifling through their programs looking for the latest celebrity appearance, this little movie snuck up on everyone else. Due to its adherence to genre, it's likely to be under-appreciated by the casual viewer, but there is a distinct knowingness that elevates this film beyond the typical festival fare.

      Right from the beginning, with the lengthy single shot that pulls back and brings us into the story, it's clear that atmosphere and tone will play a big part of the telling. Charlie sits holding a hand of cards among a grubby circle of poker players -IN AN EMPTY PUBLIC RESTROOM! The movie is filled with these surprises. It takes a few moments to realize these nuances because this film isn't hitting you over the head with every detail, or slowing down for sweeping panoramas. In fact, it's a bit claustrophobic really. I was also pleasantly surprised that the technical parts of the film were so aptly constructed. There's hardly a cut-away to a close-up in the entire film, none of those awkward moments at the ends of a scene, just straightforward cuts to the next dramatic point and this keeps the tempo brisk and assured.

      It's not strictly a thriller, a film noir, a comedy, or a heist film per se. The title character is a safe cracker who doesn't have his heart into the job -or seems to struggle with the moral issues in his line of work- and prefers to keep a hands off approach to stealing. He's scolded for this by his mentor, an elderly blind man who used to crack safes and now has turned over the business to Charlie.

      Frankly, it seems that everyone knows what Charlie does and that he isn't very good at it. So by this standard, the lead isn't really a typical hero and the movie isn't really a grist-of-the-mill crime caper. But it is a riveting good time.

      What was really an amazing achievement is that the events and characters really suck you into the story until you forget you're watching a bunch of new faces. I hadn't seen any of these actors before, and it never occurred to me that they were all making their debut. You just couldn't tell, they were so confident and believable.

      Being an avid film buff, and wanting to see this film again right away, I was disappointed that I was at a festival and would have to wait to catch it in the theaters or on video. By no means is it the kind of film that can be completely soaked in by a single viewing, and in my opinion, this is one of the tests of a great film. There's just so much going on in the way the camera angles restrict the viewing of certain characters, and the repetition of key phrases, that makes we wish I could pause and rewind to see everything again. It amazed me that the tempo and the image clarity was so professional and that the final line is one of the most graceful notes I have ever seen a movie go out on. 5 stars out of 5.

      Snappy snafu flick but with dark undertones

      Not everyone's cup of tea because this film has a mean streak running through it. A lot of the jokes and payoffs come at someone's expense and after 90 minutes of that it adds up to a sadness that's cast over the whole affair. But cleverness is the word of the day here (think of a Usual Suspects that makes a lot more sense at the end) and although the plot hinges on a threadbare revenge bent, it's still smarter and more playful than most independent films. Probably plays better in NYC than it would in the sticks. More should be said about the writer- director's eye for set-ups and ear for slippery one-liners. I caught his last film (a bizarre sci-fi experiment) and felt the same way about the visuals and offbeat banter then. Very dark stuff.

      Black comedy/quirky crime thriller is the most underrated independent movies I have seen.

      I have to agree that this is an underrated and very sorrowful movie. Behind the brain-teasing plot, the funny and sometimes brittle barbs, and the genuine suspenseful scenes, there is a sadness underlying it that makes it more than the usual thriller. Despite being witty, the actors stay deep in their depiction of the characters, specially the ill-fated relationship between the lovable losers Charlie (Cory McAbee) and the naive, trusting Teesha (Jahnika Blythe). There are several moments when the script reaches a climax and then suddenly interrupts it, but the screenwriter (here, it's first time director Scott Smith) always manages to bring it all back to the nature of the title thief. There are many minor details that those who appreciate smart films will find enjoyable too. Even the graffiti on the walls is extremely appropriate. I have only watched this movie once, and though I came away with a overwhelming sense of pity for Charlie, I was impressed that the story could have an emotional impact on me, so I say it's a keeper.
