Pass Thru

This was by far one of the most entertaining movies I have seen in a while. It is best viewed as a comedy, and although I cannot speak for the director, editor, and main star, (All Neil Breen) I believe this was the ultimate goal of the film. I look forwards to further Breen productions in the future.

Whether Breen knows of his incompetence as a director and filmmaker is purely unknown, but what I do know is that Pass Thru, like Fateful Findings, is perhaps one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It's so genuinely, awfully terrible but yet it reeks of passion and charm and, whether he likes it or not, Breen accidentally creates some of the funniest scenes I've ever seen in a movie. Sublime. 7/10 purely for entertainment value with a bit of influence from actual quality. So funny.

...because this movie is the manifesto of someone about to snap. Anyone familiar with Breen's Work will know what to expect; i.e. bad green screen, weird nonsensical imagery, 1-dimensional characters so flat they could fit through a mail slot, and a holier-than-thou agenda of "morality" driven by Mr. Breen's own misguided self-righteousness.

His past movies have done more than touch on this, but it's always been so ridiculously executed that you don't think too hard about what his true intentions are. Guy pushes over some wheelchair-bound geezer, Magical Captain Neil makes his eyes bleed. Thugs in some middle-of-nowhere location shoot at each other over who gets to rape a prostitute first, Big Breen crucifies them. Yeah, Double Down had the bit about him threatening to poison ALL the water with anthrax, but... he didn't actually do it.

In Pass Thru, it's clear from minute one that Almighty Breen Machine is done with threats. He's taken matters into his own hands, and just starts dropping people left and right, killing over 300 MILLION PEOPLE he deemed unworthy. All corporations, all banks, all lawyers, just gone in the blink of an eye. I'm beginning to think Neil actually believes that his character is a good guy in this movie, that he's actually the righteous one, and that's just... chilling, to say the very least.

A warning from the future... or a primitive calling from our ancestral past?

Breen's fourth film is a portal. It reveals the ethical follies of the human race, and exposes them for all to see. Our lost connection to Mother Earth, to tigers, to immigrants... it's all there. The movie provides deep feelings, Spielberg-esque childlike wonder, biting political commentary, nail-biting action and harrowing drama.

It's almost a perfect 90 minutes a length. It could even fit on a CD and could be listened to as an audiobook. Burn it to a CD and work out to the tune of Breen's soothing voice as you ponder its message.

Absorb it with care, and with any luck, Breen's vision might "pass thru" your system, like yesterday's lasagna - having given you enough sustenance to survive another day in the sad world. It's not so bad it's good. It's so good that it's bad.

This film is so thrash yet so rewarding.

if you thought The room was bad boy you are gonna have a great time with this one.

I would recommend watching this with friends after y'all done with exams and realize you are broke as hell and can't afford to do anything else
