Matt's Chance

Saw this movie a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed the experience. I did find it a bit overwritten and under edited but with a sincere heart. The production values were first rate; especially the cinematography. However it excelled in the casting. The most challenging acting role was taken on by Bill Sorice as the Russian Mob guy. He brought humor and humanity to the part. The cameos by Lee Majors and Gary Busey were first rate but it was Margot Kidder who stole the show. I also thought the routine by the priest was very funny and novel. The entire cast did a great job of delivering a quirky story That I hope does very well in all markets. Fun Stuff!!

After spending a day watching films at a local film festival in my home town, it was refreshing to see an independent film with real actors, a real director, an real charm!

Matt's Chance is a quirky offbeat dark comedy with some very interesting and intense scenes, and is driven by its slew of odd character . Edward Furlong brings his classic slacker style of comedic performance to the film. It's possibly Furlong's best work in over a decade. The characters are fresh and do a great job of pulling off the humor that goes along with a dark comedy like this. I especially liked Bill Sorice as the mob boss character, he almost had the feel of a crazy Andy Garcia, and was a breath of fresh air to the Russian stereotypical gangster we see in independent films today. Lee Majors delivers some great lines as the advice giving Barber. You can't go wrong for an independent film with an icon like Lee Majors. Gary Busey, is casted perfectly for this offbeat character driven comedy, an makes a nice cameo as a pawn shop owner giving life lessons. Margret Kidder, "Louis Lane from Superman" makes an amazing cameo as an aging stripper that is a must see for any fan boy or girl out there. Edi Zanidache is spot on as the gangster wannabe best friend, an adds the perfect amount of charm thru out the film!

All in all it's a fun ride and a great independent movie from a promising director. I highly recommend this film to people who loved Martin Scorsese's "After Hours"! If you have ever fell for the wit and charm that Mr. Furlong can produce in such films as "Pecker" or "Detroit Rock City" seek this film out Immediately!

I like this movie! It's not your typical movie with the same old story line. I thought was shot fantastic I was taken back by the use of vibrant colors and the cinematography was fantastic!

I found humor in one scene in particular that I won't mention but I actually thought Eddie Furlong was the perfect character choice...his dry sense of humor was clearly evident.

I have to say my favorite character is Gabor he actually kept things going throughout the film and I couldn't wait to see what he was going to do next.

It was good to see all the actors from back in the day and the priest was something else...lol.

This is not for your average unimaginative viewer you definitely have to think outside the box and expand your mind on this one to keep up.

What to say about this movie. It's not done yet, but I definitely can empathize with John Conner on his feelings. My favorite part might when I saw the Green Goblin as a private dancer. This is the second time I've seen Dafoe in drag, but this time was a lot more horrifying to be honest.

Sure watching him suck face in Boondock Saints was very jarring, but seeing a 65 year old Lois Lane doing a show for the future of mankind, I now see why Skynet won. I don't think I'll be able to do anything adult related for a while. This is some stuff that will last a lifetime. Then again my mutant ability is to repress horrible memories. Need to go smoke a foot long joint to bury this.

This is as far as I am in the movie and I can't imagine needing to say more to sell this film to people. What a trip.

I really didn't know what to expect from this movie, although I know a few of the Actors in this film I wanted to go support the film,the Actors and Director involved. I really thought the film had a great original story-line, and it was easy to follow. Matt's Chance is a little on the dark side, but it wasn't bad to a point that I couldn't watch it. There were a lot of comical parts in this movie I really enjoyed from some of the roles. I felt the quality of acting in this film was very good as well as the way the film was put together. Overall I really enjoyed this film and was happy I went to see it. I would recommend anyone to go and see this film!
