Escape Artist

If you actually watch the whole movie (which the people who are hating on it clearly didn't do), you'll see the movie gets better and better. There are parts with the 'shaky-'cam' effect but there are other parts that were shot perfectly. This was the director's intention as to make the movie feel as realistic as possible. Some people don't like that, but shouldn't take their preferences out on the message and meaning of the movie.

This movie is experimental AF and kudos to the director for mixing styles in that way. I enjoyed it. Loved the music as well, which I believe was written first and the movie then developed out of that.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing more from this director. Keep making people mad, it provokes thought.

Also, 'helpful' votes are not 'yes I agree' or 'no I don't agree' votes. Just fyi. ;)

I had the chance to see this movie at the New York premiere and I gotta say, I've never seen anything like it. The movie has a Fight Club-ish feel but what's cooler than that is the soundtrack came first when the guy wrote it, so the music is a major component... like Pink Floyd The Wall but more movie than music video.

Very cool, very deep movie about the power of social media to expose what's really going on behind the scenes in politics. Highly recommended.

This one stood out for me. Never seen these things addressed in a movie before and it made me think a lot about what's really going on behind the scenes and people's unbelievable urge to follow the herd, no matter how bad that can be -- especially for themselves.

It was gritty and rough around the edges but that made for a more realistic feel. Whoever wrote this definitely had a strong message to get out there.

One of the most unique films I've seen. I dont know if the director meant for it go be that crazy or not, but I dug it. A lot going on but always kept coming back to the main theme. I'll probably watch it again to catch more stuff I probably missed. Definitely makes you think.

An honest view on flaws and blindness of people, influenced by trends and what they've been told without even processing the information. The story is there, the cast was great, and what i loved about this movie is it's original music, written and produced by the director. The only suggestion i could give to the director as a viewer - movie was a little bit too long, some scenes were repetitive and to cut it for about 15 min would be perfect. Otherwise, well done James, and I wish you success on this one and future projects.
