    LMAO

    Bots and maybe cast and crew members of this trash of a movie came on here to up the numbers so you can waste almost 2 precious hours of your life, watching his garbage.

    Don't do it.

    They literally just got wack ass gangsters and a few novice/amateur actors and tried to make a point on this one.

    But it's most definitely the greatest fail of the year.

    Trust me. I'm not mincing words. Every word i'm putting down here is how i genuinely feel about this movie.

    I've never really done a review on IMDB but i had to come here and create an account just to review and post a rating! Sigh. God save us from having horrible experiences like this one!

    Vega Montañez Knows What He's Doing

    Props to Vega Montañez-this is a director who clearly has a vision. The Burden of Nine Lives isn't trying to be flashy or mainstream, and that's what makes it work. The film feels personal and intentional, like every scene was carefully thought out. There's a quiet intensity in the storytelling that pulls you in without forcing it. Sure, it might not be for everyone-it's more of a slow, layered burn-but Montañez keeps things grounded and real. Honestly, I'm curious to see what he does next.

    The performances feel natural, like these are real people dealing with real consequences, not just actors reading lines. The pacing might throw some viewers off, but I appreciated how it took its time. There's confidence in that-like Montañez knows exactly what kind of story he's telling and isn't trying to rush or simplify it. It's the kind of film that rewards you for paying attention, and you can feel the emotional tension simmering just under the surface. It's low-key powerful, and I respect that a lot.

    An Understated Gem That Sticks with You.

    I wasn't sure what I was in for with The Burden of Nine Lives, but it turned out to be one of those rare films that sits with you for days, echoing long after the credits roll. It's quiet, slow-moving, but so emotionally packed and layered with meaning. The lead performance is strong and subtle-there's a lot being said in silence, through glances and restrained gestures.

    It's not an easy watch if you're looking for something upbeat or fast-paced, but if you appreciate introspective films that carefully explore what it means to carry guilt, face the past, and try to move forward, this one's absolutely worth your time. The visuals are stunning in a quiet, contemplative way-nothing showy, but deeply intentional and poetic in how they frame each moment.

    Low-Key and Thoughtful

    There's something really thoughtful about The Burden of Nine Lives. It doesn't rely on big plot twists or loud action. Instead, it just tells a very human story about a guy trying to make sense of his life after everything's fallen apart.

    I appreciated how grounded everything felt. It doesn't try to spell everything out for you, which I liked-it kind of expects you to think and feel along the way. The vibe is somber but not depressing, and by the end, you feel like you've walked through something with the character. It's a solid film with real heart and quiet moments that linger, offering insight into loss, healing, and personal growth.

    Raw, Real, and Surprisingly Emotional

    I didn't know what to expect when I hit play on The Burden of Nine Lives, but it caught me off guard-in a good way. It starts off gritty and dark, almost like a crime thriller, but then it digs into something deeper. Jimmy's story is tough to watch at times, but there's this weird beauty in how it unfolds. Nothing feels over-dramatized, just raw and honest. There's this quiet, almost haunting atmosphere throughout the film that stays with you. You can tell the filmmakers weren't trying to impress with gimmicks-they just wanted to tell a real story. The story touches you at many levels, it's worth giving your time.
