Red B @RT43513976 09/29/2023 Well now I understand why Mark never directed another film after this. Terrible editing, horrifically bad cinematography & music, atrocious pacing, and terrible acting overall. Mark Ruffalo is the only stable thing in this and gets weighed down by all the constant misfires and terrible plot. More than anything the biggest issue as to why this was doomed from the start is the plot is so stupid ridiculous that if I dare you to find someone who won't burst out laughing if you tell them what this is about. They probably won't believe its real. The constant shaky cam isfor 80% of the runtime is so distracting, the settings aren't memorable, the framing half the time isn't good, and half the time its jsut bizarre what is happening. Delicious isn't likeable, charming, or riveting to watch in the slightest. He's annoying, fustrating, and dislikeable. Orlando Bloom in this is nothing short of bizarre, I seriously can't even describe his character and performance in this. To say its over the top and surreal is a insult to those two terms. The rock music is horrifically bad in this and the other tracks never have a unified theme or tone. Than this decides to to stop using shaky cam in the final 20 minutes and it just feels so out of place after watching the nonstop shaky cam so long. Also, the subplot of joining a rock band feels like it could've been cut from the story and should've been kept as a character drama. This is basically a rip off of The Green Mile somewhat except it does nothing better than that. The one scene where he heals his annoying friend was kind of nice but your so out of gas at that point you can't even get excited about it. This is like a character study drama mixed with a religious film and just gets completely muddled in its execution and terrible plot to execute those ideas which its trying to express. Honestly, just read the Bible or watch The Green Mile instead. It is so hard to describe this train wreck except stay away from this.

The script isn’t very compelling, the camera work is to wonkey and zoomed to close and a good part of the movie is just plain boring. Such an interesting concept for this movie shouldn’t be boring. Hopefully we can see better films in the future directed by Mark Ruffalo. See more 05/27/2018 The Story / Idea Is Captivating Just Enough To Keep Things Interesting. Character Development Is A Little Soft, However There Is Enough Talent On Show For The Characters To Have Some Level Of Intensity. Those Two Things Alone Keep It All Gelled & Got Me Through To The End. See more 11/06/2013 Crap story, forgettable and unlikable characters, what more can I say. See more 09/07/2013 It's a long time before this movie is done. Did the director loose focus? Not so much; as for the plot, it never thickens. The true entertainment is in waiting for the resolution.
