Great role by fletcher, however the film was drawn out a bit and the the ending of the film left me wondering what the final outcome was. Overall very watchable but was let down by the 'non conclusion' end
There isn't much to this movie at all. Just a old neighbor staring at a young hot chick. Did I miss something but to me it seemed like the guy Mike was slow or had some kind of illness. He moved kinda like a robot. Nothing was ever mentioned maybe I missed it.
At the bottom it's asking me if I am revealing any spoilers? Let me tell you I really wish I had a spoiler to reveal, like in ending.
I was pleasantly surprised by William Fitchners character. He is usually the rogue FBI guy or the bad guy etc. etc. but in this movie he was very mild mannered very shy very meek I have never seen this side to him before. I loved this part for him and he played it beautifully. What I didn't like was not knowing what happened after he sat down and looked at his tomato. I didn't know If he was suicidal I didn't know if he was going to go back to the house and say hey I was defending myself or if his wife was going to come in and be the wife that she is or the Alex blah blah blah or if The car salesman was going to possibly show up in a skirt with a wig because you know he can pull that off really well. I'm just angry because I'm sick and tired of movies that don't have an ending to them or an ending that makes any sense William Fechner, You are awesome you played your part beautifully it was really nice to see you as a good guy🐾💕
This is a unique film in that it is painfully slow and really uncomfortable. Never have I had to pause a film so many times just to recompose myself from the deep discomfort and embarrassment caused by the lead character.
I can't say I enjoyed it but it is unique and although it is incredibly slow it does keep you interested.

I enjoyed this film for many reasons: its a simple, well written story of a good samaritan caught in a tragic thought process. It is told from a single point of view, and everything about the writing and direction of the film remains true to it. This is a contemplative character piece, not a weekend blockbuster. It is going to be slower by nature, but ultimately appreciated by cinephiles.
