The Spiders' Man

It's a honest film that tries to deal with mental problems issues. Shot in a few locations it has a pretty good cast and an interesting story that, in my opinion, could have been explored further.

Release on the same day as the Marvel's Spider Man Far From Home, this indie film from the Philippines is a nice discovery. It's a dark comedy but also a thriller involving mental challenged characters (both the hero and the villain, this is the thing that stands out in this film) that makes you meditate about brotherhood and the father and son relationship. I watched it on Amazon Prime and I recommend it.

It's a very original film with an interesting plot. Well crafted. One of the few critics I can move to this film is that it feels like the ending is 15 min before the actual ending. Not that the ending is not good but I feel it like a not so strong ending. It creates a little confusion: who is the lead? The schizophrenic brother? Or the smart and rich brother that closes the film? I would have given this film 9...

I watched this movie today freshly released on Amazon Prime. I got attracted by its title mostly in this period that the Marvels' superhero is gonna hit the theatres here in US. Well, not bad, really. There are villains and there's a hero. But It's not the hero everyone is expecting. That's the forte of this film that I find worth watching. It's a two brothers comedy/thriller with a bit of drama very enjoyable and, at times, also quite funny. Its humor is subtle here and almost grotesque there, grotesque like many hilarious situations. This is a niche film that deserves attention. Good music, good acting (mostly the actor that portrays the schizophrenic brother) and very well directed. The production value is not huge (shot in few locations between Italy I could see - btw I love the Ferrari) but this is the proof you don't need much money to produce a decent film.

I enjoyed it. Original, well done. Interesting start with good characters presentation and wraps up nicely.
