This deliberately repugnant thriller is told from one distraught man's perspective, as he copes with the emasculating impact of love.

The bleak absurdity of its predicaments cries out for a tone of pitch-dark comedy to stave off the unintended laughter that it is virtually certain to elicit.

Tim McCann's witty video cheapster takes its squirmy premise both at face value and as deadpan metaphor.

Less a nod to the Beatles song than to avenging spouse trimmer Lorena Bobbitt, the film pits the two most off putting male fantasies toe to toe - eunuch and porn stud - and just kinda lays back to watch the fur fly.

It's the kind of aimless junk the creators like to label "dark comedy," except it's never funny.

...the cheap look and the intensity of the actors involved give the movie a darkness that effectively counteracts the juvenile humor

both Rodrick and Rochon are engaging beyond the quality of the material, especially Rochon, who ought to get some real roles in Hollywood before she burns out

Audience Reviews for Nowhere Man

for a guy, one of the most uncomfortable movies ever; the DV cam is not good enough; feels like a short schedule with hardly any rehearsal, but that charms at times; the outtakes at the end were a bad move
