Nobody Can Cool

I gave it 7 out of 10..held my interest, not a bad thriller for a low budget,..sure their are flaws, but overlook em.....n enjoy...

This is without doubt one of the top ten worst movies I have ever seen. The high rating on IMDb may be attributed to the fact that (I have no proof of this -- it's just an opinion) the entire production crew voted before audiences had a chance to view it. The criminals are the most incompetent, ridiculous and annoying I have ever seen outside of a comedy (which I don't think this is supposed to be), and the protagonists are just as bumbling. Add to that some of the worst acting and dialogue I have ever heard and film-making skills that could easily be surpassed by a bunch of teenagers playing around with their cell phones and you have Nobody Can Cool, a film that makes about as much sense as its title. I could point out some the unbelievably ludicrous things that happen in this movie, but I didn't want to have to hit the "spoiler" button. I will say characters act in ways that simply defy all logic and leave it at that. You have been warned!

A hint of menace is felt even in the opening scene as a Gen-Y couple, Susan and David, en route to a remote cabin for a getaway weekend, seems to be talking past each other. On arrival, an eerie atmosphere takes over when they find another couple already there. The tatted Len – the ominous Nick Principe -- and his pregnant girlfriend Gigi are tough and jumpy. What secrets or crimes are they hiding? The scenes, including a gem of comic relief, are swift and twisty and seamlessly intercut. The dialog is crisp and realistic. The actors play off one another with natural believability. Subtle clues reveal the past of the four principal characters but the plot holds its twists and surprises to the end.

This is definitely one to see. Spread the word.

I was psyched to see this movie at Rock and Shock. I almost missed it because my girlfriend went for a smoke. It was wicked awesome that Nick Principe did a into. Dude is like 6'8' or something. He was funny and then a guy from Dread Central who said it was an intense movie. One of the directors talked a bit too and I was surprised at how good it looked and sounded for they filmed it in 2 weeks. You wouldn't know it. It felt and sounded like a big movie. It was f***' outstanding. Wicked awesome story. Tension, some gore and good surprise end. Nick Principe is big in this. For real. I'm a big tattoo fan and Nick is inked up. This movie shows all his tats. It was one of the best thing I did the whole weekend. I caught Danzig on Sat night that was f'n outstanding too. I bought the DVD and got the shirt and the directors gave me a free poster You all should get your ass somewhere to see this one.

If you are tired of mainstream Hollywood movies, but afraid of boring indies, here's one for you. Not a remake, reboot, or sequel, this is an ambitious and slick little thriller that sneaks up on you, draws you in, and takes you for a ride. The plot is tight and clever, and the dialogue is snappy and peppered with hardboiled humor.

The production values are amazingly good for an indie. The cinematography looks like a pulp noir watercolor book cover come to life. The shots are creative and well composed without drawing attention to themselves. The detailed sound design enhances the suspense which leads up to the gun and fight scenes which are skillfully done.

The caliber of acting is also surprisingly good. Nick Principe plays "Len" a ruthless criminal, but with a moral code that just makes his character have more edge and complexity. Catherine Annette's "Susan" brings a plucky likeablity to a role that drags her through some tough and unflattering situations. Nikki Bohm plays a unique and memorable character, a sultry pregnant villain I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. Intrigued? Buy it and support an entertaining original.
