Mysteria

I felt compelled to keep on watching this movie to see if something was going to happen. Unfortunately, nothing really happens, it really is the worst movie I have ever seen, it was a total waste of 90 minutes of my life. I will never get that 90 minutes back.

I do not know how anyone could possibly give this movie a positive rating. It was totally mind numbing!

I will not give any spoilers to the movie or mention the plot. The plot may seem clever, but is incomplete.

Mysteria seems like half a movie, and is extremely slow moving. It could have been highly edited leaving most of the tape on the floor, and adding an ending.

Perhaps the production company ran out of money when making Mysteria and left in the 90 minutes of content to recuperate some revenue.

I do not know of anyone that I would recommend this to.

the movie actually sucks big time. If you want to watch a film noir, find Gotham, with Tommy Lee Jones. It's just as strange but actually is good. This had no script, bad acting, bad music, bad everything. It was totally a waste of our time so don't waste yours to rent it. If I could get the $1.00 back, I would. My husband said he couldn't wait to get this DVD out of the house in case someone would think it's the kind of movie we would watch.

We actually thought with the quality of some of the actors it would redeem itself if we kept watching it. About every 10 minutes we would look at each other as if to see who would turn it off first. the ending, WHAT ending. Did I mention this movie sucks big time?

Aleister Bain (Robert Miano) is a washed up Hollywood screenwriter desperate to finish his script. He becomes the center of a noir investigation into the murder of a prominent politician's wife Lavinia (Meadow Williams). She's a fan who tracks him down for a dinner date. Danny Glover plays the investigator, Martin Landau is the hotel manager, and Billy Zane is the producer.

It's a little noir indie from newbie Lucius C. Kuert. The best thing is the acting talents involved. They are all people who have the parts in them. However this is just so badly made. I almost feel like the washed up hack writer in the movie wrote this tripe. Somebody watched too many black and white noir movies and wrote something for film school. It has nothing interesting or new. They don't do the femme fatale right. Robert Miano has the gruff look but he has nothing else going for him. It moves at a snail's pace and it dies a slow death.

I was skeptical to start and 5 minutes into it I turned it off. Maybe I didn't give it a chance but after a phone rings for 45 seconds in a scene I was utterly annoyed. Who writes, directs and produces a film and thinks people want to hear a phone ringing that long?! Torture.

I can imagine that the viewers rate this movie low because of the unanswered questions at the final. Though, for me there are not any unanswered questions and even if you can find the ending very simple you watch the movie without getting bored but with whole interest until the end. One viewer commented that its very similar to Mulholland Drive. Thanks , and congratulations , that's a very correct determination. The movie is about a Hollywood scenarist who want to complete his last script under deadline pressure and a murder investigation around him which inspires him for his script . The acting, the cast and roles are very good and the atmosphere of the movie is simply fantastic. It's a very nice cocktail of suspense and provocation of mind . It's a low budged movie which most strong part is the scenario and i think it reaches the target. Sometimes we all mess up with reality , imagination and our dreams. What's wrong when we get inspired and turn this into a story ? Don't we dream this sometimes? Surely we do..I advice to watch this movie..If you are a movie fan you fill find for sure the taste of a nice movie in it. If you only watch movies occasionally and are interested only for the ending instead of the " taste " maybe you could be disappointed. At any case it deserves a considerable positive rating..
