Cade: The Tortured Crossing

This was my first Neil Breen film. I knew what I was getting into, so I wasn't shocked by how inept it was--I doubt anyone who chooses to watch it would be surprised about that. Most folks who seek this out will be wanting laugh at how bad it turned out. Well, it's hard to imagine a movie could be any worse. The story is so poorly told, it makes The Room look well-structured. The basic plot is simple enough, but the way it unfolds is very hard to follow along with. There are absolutely no filmmaking techniques that will help the viewer understand anything that is happening. And the performances are so poor that unless someone states something implicitly, you don't know what they are doing or thinking. Neil might have had it worked out in his head, but he has no ability to communicate his intentions. I really beleive that for a person to put in the time, money, and effort to produce something like this, they must have some kind of impairment. I don't know if it was a brain injury, a developmental delay, or some other form of neurodivergence, but not only is Neil afflicted, I think that anyone who appears in his films must be, too. I can't think of any other reason a person would allow themself to perform the way these people do--not for money, not for acting experience--not even if they were being blackmailed. I haven't even gotten into how visually assaultive this movie is. Anyone who rates this higher than a 1 is only doing so to be funny. There is nothing to appreciate about any moment of Cade, except for fans of bad movies. Those are the only people I would ever hope will sit through this.

Cade: The Tortured Crossing is the latest film from everyone's favorite cult movie director, Neil Breen. It's a sequel to another of his films, but I went in without seeing the first movie and still had a good time.

It's all around an awful movie, but it's also highly entertaining. I went to an actual theater showing of it, and I treasure the experience of cracking up and groaning to this movie with at least 100 other bad movie lovers. The dialog is stilted, the acting is stiff, the shots always linger too long, the script repeats itself so many times, and there's at least 7 fake-out endings that will have you begging and then cheering when the film finally does end. It broke my brain, but in a fun way. A very high laughs-per-minute rate as far as bad movies go. Watch it with a big crowd of fellow cult movie fanatics.

I didn't think there would ever be a movie to top the.1997.seminal masterpiece Booty Call with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Davidson, but it has finally happened.

This movie has everything. Giant chairs, 3 second looped fighting clips, dialogue, and even acting. What more could you want?

I can't imagine how long Neil spent doing location scouting on shutterstock, but it was certainly worth the time. The scenery is amazing. I've never seen JPEGs seem so alive!

The script is so complex. I didn't have any idea what was going on, but that's just because I'm a moron compared to the Breenius that wrote it.

It's not every day I write a review.

"Cade: The Tortured Crossing" is a film that defies easy categorization. It is a work of bold, uncompromising vision, and one that will challenge and provoke audiences in equal measure. Director and lead actor Neil Breen has crafted a film that is both deeply personal and yet speaks to universal truths about the human condition.

Breen's performance as Cade is nothing short of extraordinary. He brings a raw intensity and vulnerability to the role, capturing every emotion with a depth and nuance that is truly remarkable. His direction is equally impressive, as he creates a cinematic world that is at once beautiful and haunting, with a sense of mystery and danger lurking around every corner.

But what truly sets "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" apart is its willingness to grapple with difficult, complex themes. The film tackles issues of identity, trauma, and the nature of reality itself in a way that is both thought-provoking and deeply moving. It is a film that demands your attention and rewards it in spades.

The supporting cast is equally impressive, with standout performances from Sarah Parker as Cade's love interest and Jack Thompson as his mentor. The film's score is haunting and beautiful, perfectly complementing the visuals and performances to create a truly immersive experience.

In the end, "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" is a film that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled. It is a testament to the power of independent cinema, and a reminder of why we go to the movies in the first place. With its stunning visuals, powerhouse performances, and fearless storytelling, this is a film that deserves a perfect score of 10 out of 10 stars. Don't miss it.

If you watch his "restrospective" you hear him, repeating himself as always 10000 times, that he always want to improve and up with every next movie. You see nothing of that sort here. While the first 2 movies you can excuse for being terrible due to lack of experience, but this is 6th movie.

This movie has terrible script, it seems like written by a 5 years old. Or worse. It's flat, it has bad dialogues full of repetition and single sentences. 0/10 No flow, no cinsistency, no nothing.

Acting - his acting has not improved since his 2nd movie, wooden and stiff as always. 0/10 Some of the other actors are bad too, few have potential but they ruin that potential in participating in such production.

SGI - he again performed worse than before. He uses much more cgi than before but it's as bad as it can be. 5th grader could do much better work than this. 0/10

So, yet again he is the allpowerful and almighty being that saves everything and everyone. Someone should just drink their medication instead i guess.

I am usually all down for bs bizzare joke fan movies, as long as they fully know they make joke movie not serious stuff. Here we have nothing of that sort.

Yet another movie i dont recommend , and a director that should either hire a writer, or just stop alltogether. Movie is unwatchable. The worst one out yet.

P. S all these 8-10 ratings we see around are so fake boosting the movie too much. This movie should be above "The Room" which is like a masterpiece in comparison.
