The Speed of Thought

This is actually a pretty decent movie. The writing is a bit weird, but the story is compelling and you really get involved with the characters after a while. This is more of a thinker, not an action-filled CGI-flick, but somehow it has its' own tension and several exciting moments. I've never been a Nick Stahl fan, but he does an okay job in this (even though he's a bit monotonous). It wouldn't've been the same without Mia Maestro though. She does great, and whatever weirdness is portrayed is only due to the script. Good flick.

The concept could've been way more evolved, and with a super-budget and a different lead role, it could've been a blockbuster. The editing is at times awkward, and some scenes feel unfinished, but the main story is kinda cool. It leaves you with a weird feeling, mostly in a good way. If you've got nothing better to watch, and enjoy some semi-mindplay by mediocre actors (except Mia), it's worth a shot.

Previous reviewers panned this story. I enjoyed it. I thought the leads did a good job, especially Mia M. I thought she was a knockout for her interesting role as the hombre who breaks up the psychic cartel of the NSA. I also like the idea of someone breaking ups the NSA too, if you know what I mean. The script isn't that bad, as you can see from the "did you know" quotes at this site. Budget? I thought it's low key accentuated the interpersonal. It is essentially a romantic movie. It is interesting that most of the romantic action occurred in the head rather than between naked bodies, although that might have been nice too. Yah, maybe it will be big budget someday with Keneau R., but science fiction is all about suspending your doubts and playing along. For me, I enjoyed playing along. I thought the end was a nice surprise also. It was worth the time on Netflix free play.

I really like this film. It is a very small budget, with no large celebrity stars. However, it is so much better than the Mega budget star loaded Marvel kiddie universe "Avengers" films, with big celebrity stars, for example: Scarlett Johansson as "Black Widow", Hugh Jackman as "Wolverine", ad infinitum. They are shallow films with "super powered stars"; geared for the just reaching puberty crowd That is a tremedous money trough for all the producers at Marvel, & whichever studios they partner with. Unfortunately, they are all formulaic, with a single large antagonist against all the "Avenger Team", which has had about 20 different actors in the same or similar roles. Enough about that. This film has depth, with a well thought out plot. All made with a tiny amount of money, & 3 very ralented actors; even if they aren't chased by paparazzi everywhere. I am so sick of the entire comic book medium. It has ruined the quality of great films. This was much better than I thought it would be. Nick Stahl, Taryn Manning and Wallace Shaw are all very good in their parts. A must see. Forget "Batman" "Spiderman", & "Whatever" Man movies: they're boring pablum for the masses.

Great concept, long tedious scenes, could have been a good 1 hour television show. A lot of time is devoted to actors walking about, with tortured expressions. The location shooting in Uruguay seems to be totally irrelevant to the story, they should have saved that budget, for better writing. While on the plus side it does feature a pretty girl, most of the characters are flat, the bad guys are not intimidating, in fact most of them just look constipated. The special effects, look like they were done on my laptop. I am sure the actors were disappointed with the end result, and that Wallace Shawn probably thought it was "Inconceivable" that it would turn out to be such a stinker. You will want the 2 hours of your life back, by the time it is over.

Decent Indie film, liked the story alot, acting was adequate but execution left a tad to be desired. But overall it held my interest and I became invested in the story and was able to overlook faults. Enjoy!
