The Electric Man

This movie was pathetic!

The acting was horrible, cinematography terrible, script even more terrible. At what point are they going to start paying us to put up with such trash movies... I mean why bother making them at all!? Why not just use your old camcorder and make your own movie to watch yourself at home so other people dont have to put up with it.

Nothing that I saw made any sense, nobody had seen the script more than an hour before they started shooting, none of the 'acting' was even worthy of being called acting and nothing compelled me to watch after the first few minutes !

The camera work and lighting were acceptable and the editing didn't suck too badly but those are the only good things you can say about this garbage, don't waste your time !

This is not Sci-Fi. This is stupid. Who would waste their time putting out crap like this? Horrid acting, horrid writing. Total crap from talentless hacks.

Yep here we go again someone with too many dollars and not enough sense has made a movie, unfortunately they didn't have enough for a capable scriptwriter, competent director or actors capable of expressing anything other than a shout to indicate anger.

Even Eric 'where's my paycheck' Roberts also succumbs to that failing.

Why oh why do these dingbats do this instead of parking their egos and investing in the huge range of whatchamacallit, talent, currently littering the planet who are able to write, direct or act in a great movie if only they had the dollars to realise their goal.

Don't believe the spruikers who have posted reviews outta either care for their friends who made this turkey or the dollars whatever rich fool who funded it paid them.

This movie fails on every aspect of film-making. In fact its a damn shame the DP remembered to remove the lens cap.

It pains me to see the once great Eric Roberts in super low budget "movies" like this. I mean you watch Runaway Train and you watch this and you just ask yourself what happened? Yeah, Tom Sizemore's career has been nothing but these low budget amateurfests the last couple decades and I know Roberts hasn't been doing the best work either (he was great in The Righteous Gemstones this season) but Roberts was one a very respected actor.

The story is drawn out, long passages of boring dialog and what seems like a 20 minute movie made into a 90 minute one. It's got a great title - I bet the few people who watched it did so because of the title but the movie does not live up to the title.

It was a hard watch. I wanted to like it and I gave it every chance. But bad script and terrible acting abounds and this was awful. If you check out the cast's other credits you see lots of "short films" and "movies" like this. The entire budget was spent on Sizemore and Roberts and they probably shot their scenes in 2 days. Not sure how many "a fun ride" reviews the director can put in here (not remotely a fun ride) but if you check out the other "reviews" they're not real.
