Matt's Chance

Can't wait for this movie to come out in theaters. I caught it at a film festival and the crowd loved it! My favorite part has to be when the main guy and the bank manager are having kind of an imaginary fight in the bank. So funny! Also loved the mob character. The music was really good too! Really suited the movie.

I can tell a lot of effort went into this movie. The performances were very good, especially the main guy. He was the perfect choice to play a pathetic slob whose girlfriend cheats on him.

I think the ending has a great twist. It really took my by surprise!

See this if you get the chance!

After spending a day watching films at a local film festival in my home town, it was refreshing to see an independent film with real actors, a real director, an real charm!

Matt's Chance is a quirky offbeat dark comedy with some very interesting and intense scenes, and is driven by its slew of odd character . Edward Furlong brings his classic slacker style of comedic performance to the film. It's possibly Furlong's best work in over a decade. The characters are fresh and do a great job of pulling off the humor that goes along with a dark comedy like this. I especially liked Bill Sorice as the mob boss character, he almost had the feel of a crazy Andy Garcia, and was a breath of fresh air to the Russian stereotypical gangster we see in independent films today. Lee Majors delivers some great lines as the advice giving Barber. You can't go wrong for an independent film with an icon like Lee Majors. Gary Busey, is casted perfectly for this offbeat character driven comedy, an makes a nice cameo as a pawn shop owner giving life lessons. Margret Kidder, "Louis Lane from Superman" makes an amazing cameo as an aging stripper that is a must see for any fan boy or girl out there. Edi Zanidache is spot on as the gangster wannabe best friend, an adds the perfect amount of charm thru out the film!

All in all it's a fun ride and a great independent movie from a promising director. I highly recommend this film to people who loved Martin Scorsese's "After Hours"! If you have ever fell for the wit and charm that Mr. Furlong can produce in such films as "Pecker" or "Detroit Rock City" seek this film out Immediately!

I saw Matt's Chance at the VIFF, in Las Vegas. I was initially intrigued with the cast of the movie and wanting to check it out. Some of the cast includes Edward Furlong, Gary Busey, Margot Kidder, and Lee Majors. Recognizable faces for sure from many different diverse backgrounds and many years of experience. In what is a "very" dark, intense and edgy comedy about Furlong and his girlfriend, a cast of strange characters, and maybe even more in the humor found in the introspection, continually bouncing from reality to unreality. Somehow, all is cleverly pulled together and harnessed by a definite up-and-coming talent, in Director, Nicholas Gyeney.

With Edward Furlong in his best work to date, Furlong, naturally rides this dark and edgy vibe right out of the gate. He really finds the right right track and pulls you in and stays on course. Gary Busey, is in his natural habitat as the pawn shop owner. Margot Kidder (Louis Lane- Superman) appears out of the fog and does a very intriguing elderly stripper ... that is not routine. Lee Majors (the Six Million Dollar Man- are you kidding me!) as the Barber, and ... Brandy Kopp, plays the beautiful girlfriend to warm things up. Bill Sorice nails the mob boss and Edward Michael Scott plays the rival, Tyler Swift ... not to be confused with Taylor Swift.

I really believe we are going to see some great things from this fast, up-and-coming director, Nicholas Gyeney. On top of the cast doing a solid performances, Gyeney, does a masterful job of bringing it all together. Keep your eye on this guy.

I like this movie! It's not your typical movie with the same old story line. I thought was shot fantastic I was taken back by the use of vibrant colors and the cinematography was fantastic!

I found humor in one scene in particular that I won't mention but I actually thought Eddie Furlong was the perfect character choice...his dry sense of humor was clearly evident.

I have to say my favorite character is Gabor he actually kept things going throughout the film and I couldn't wait to see what he was going to do next.

It was good to see all the actors from back in the day and the priest was something else...lol.

This is not for your average unimaginative viewer you definitely have to think outside the box and expand your mind on this one to keep up.

I really didn't know what to expect from this movie, although I know a few of the Actors in this film I wanted to go support the film,the Actors and Director involved. I really thought the film had a great original story-line, and it was easy to follow. Matt's Chance is a little on the dark side, but it wasn't bad to a point that I couldn't watch it. There were a lot of comical parts in this movie I really enjoyed from some of the roles. I felt the quality of acting in this film was very good as well as the way the film was put together. Overall I really enjoyed this film and was happy I went to see it. I would recommend anyone to go and see this film!
