Rubberneck

A study on obsession and grief. Alex turns in a great performance of a man tortured both in relationships and in processing a loss early in life. You'll have to be patient as it unfolds, but it's worth your time given the strong performances all around.

A low budget attempt at psychological thriller using all the tropes. I wanted to like this movie, the main character was almost creepy and believable.

Being the script writer/director and leading male actor in a flim-flam of a movie featuring the world's ugliest leading man and women too pretty to even give this Goober the time of day.

So all credibility and believability for this hot mess goes straight out the window, and especially when you have such a pitiful specimen of a male. This clown has nothing going for him that would have lead to a hook-up in the first place. Sooooo, that's a big fat No with this milquetoast male attracting any of these women who are clearly out of his league.

And the good thing is that I saw this without having to ruin my evening by watching this crude.

The first 50 minutes are slow and tedious. Incidents of obsession are not that pronounced. The editing and pace of the story is choppy and irritating. There are many other films that do a much better job of depicting obsessive/compulsive behavior. I really didn't feel any emotion toward the characters, aside from irritation.

This is a low budget film that looks at obsession. It follows a geeky scientist who has a one night stand with a colleague and develops a deep and dangerous obsession with her.

It is hard to pigeon hole this film- it's more drama than thriller and to be honest not a lot happens. However the acting is decent and I found it a believable account of unrequited love.

Rubberneck won't appeal to everyone and many will find it too boring ( my wife did) but I found it strangely compelling, mainly I think due to the creepily realistic portrayal of the scientist by Alex Karpovsky.

A film that's worth checking out for those that like indie films.
