Rubberneck

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.

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.

This movie is really pathetic. The characters are all non-likeable and shallow. The script was written by someone who has never worked in an office environment. The movie never even got interesting until there was only 25 minutes left. The first 50 minutes were excruciatingly slow and dull. It isn't even very original. The first version of this movie was made in about 1930! This is such a dull, non-entertaining, and poorly written and directed. In good faith I cannot recommend this movie to anyone. I would avoid it at all costs. If you have ever watched an old "whodunit" movie, you have already seen this one.

I'm really not too sure how this goober with a deformed mouth ended up with the starring role in this movie. It makes the entire premise of the movie completely ludicrous in the first 5 minutes and it just never gets on track. There's no way these characters would ever hook up. And not only that, he also ends up being with another gorgeous lady. Anyway, the so called mental decline and obsession falls flat. It's all just rather mundane and has that made for TV vibe that has one reaching for their phone rather than pay attention to the slop unfolding on the screen. The woman characters are indeed gorgeous, and about the only thing worth attempting to make it to the predictable end. A cheesy stinker that has been done so much better so many times before. I'm not even going into details just giving a generic warning to those looking for a compelling physhological drama. Keep looking. This will not satisfy.

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.
