Peter Five Eight

Apparently this isn't the director's first movie. Which is bad because that's the only thing that would excuse this amateurish nonsense. Actors are bad, editing is *really* bad, camera is bad, dialogue is bad, and I am not sure I can watch enough of this to see if the story is equally as bad. I laughed more in the first seven minutes of this than in some comedies, it is so ridiculous. And this isn't even taking into account that Kevin Spacey is in this dreck. I almost felt sorry for him (but not really, obviously). I hope the director goes to film school or something next. I have seen movies with far smaller budgets that were first time projects that had so much more talent and ideas and knowledge. This is just laughably bad.

First of all, this movie has no Comedy and no thrill. Kevin Spacey possibly did the movie for one of the following reasons: 1. He lost a bet 2. He had too many speeding tickets and the judge order community service hours.

3. He got his head bumped and lost it for a couple of weeks.

Or this is a college project for a group of Art students and it happens that Kevin is the uncle for one of those students, so he was doing them a favour!

This movie is a failed attempt to blend European cinema with Indie style in an American fashion. But the result is a boring and visually poor cinamogr

Avoid this movie with all cost.

I read a review in which the author wrote: "The acting is at times poor and at times exaggerated" (something in these lines) and then ranted about not understanding what kind of comeback this was for Kevin Spacey.

This movie shows us the present reality of cinema: inexperienced people, who know jack about writing and/or directing, and are given money to make a movie.

As many recent films: good idea; not a bad script; horrible execution.

I thought the leading actress must have been picked for her talent, because she has the dullest, inexpressive face I have seen in years... but then I "dug up" the "director's" history, and they have collaborated previously. So there's a shocker!

I don't think there is bad or overacting... I just think that the parts are too much for everybody, and too little for Rebecca de Mornay (another story for Hardcore Surgery Specials) and Kevin Spacey.

He does not overact... the part is ridiculous and he tries to make it good. He fails, because, as we say in Portugal, there's no tip from where to grab the part...

I understand why he took it. It's not his comeback, and whoever says this, know nothing about movies, actors and getting railroaded inconsequentially.

He took it, because he has to get back to work, and it seemed like a good way to start, but again we have to go back to the amateur who directed this, who came from Visual Effects something position, in some, actually, rather popular films.

I was really looking forward to this after "Control" (where he was a brilliant voice/character), but I am disappointed, because a bad director wastes a good cast.

The climax is absurd, at best... The ending is interesting, because it leaves You wondering, and that's, as far as I am concerned, positive.

I don't blame Kevin Spacey... I get Rebbeca de Mornay... I loathe the rest (of the people and movie).

This could have been a lot better!

Forget the intriguing, stylish and sophisticated movies we've seen Kevin Spacey in before. This steaming pile of drivel was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. The acting was appalling - the female actor who played Sam was so over-the-top with her wild eyes and shocked expressions, it was embarrassing. Kevin did try, bless him, and the scene where he expertly mimed a song in the pool hall was the highlight for me. But the rest was just awful. I did my crossword puzzle while the movie played out. Towards the end it picked up a teeny bit, thanks to Rebecca de Mornay, but a few minutes out of a full length movie is far from satisafactory. Life is too short and there are so many other movies to watch, so please, give this a big miss. I think I'm gonna watch Kevin in LA Confidential again, just to appease myself .....

Sam (Jet Jandreau) is a professional realty agent working under Brenda (Rebecca De Mornay). Her home life is a drunken mess with a drunken loser husband. Out of blue, Peter (Kevin Spacey) starts investigating and interfering in her life. She has a dark secret past with Lock (Jake Weber).

This is strictly a B-movie with pretentions of being a noir story. The dialogue has some clunky lines. The concept is fine but nothing too special. The filmmaking is not that good. This does have three veteran actors, but the rest are poor. I don't know anything about Jet. She's not good. Some of the minor actors are much worst. As for Spacey, he's trying to add some comedic touches and they don't always fit. I can't say that I love seeing him anyways. It all adds up to a weird B-movie viewing experience.
