Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Steve Ridley Be advised - this whole review is about the twist at the end of the film so if you don't want to read a spoiler, stop now.I think the end is fair enough. James Earl Jones, (the impostor Avery), is a colleague or relation of the real Avery, not the guy Victor. The impostor has stumbled across the phone message, knows that Avery plays those numbers every week, impersonates the guy, gets the loot and is going to run off with it. Victor and the real Avery have been conned. Victor has picked up the message second, and so the real Avery appears, too late.Now these days there would be a 60 second montage explaining all this at the end, but the director decided we should figure it out for ourselves.Nice 1 Riddler.

kahnman just about everything in this movie works out. for instance... -the granddaughter's birthday probably wasn't an actual birthday...Avery saw the ticket and knew that it was 'his' and read the numbers off in date form. he was an extremely effective liar and just came up with that story spontaneously. -the blue box in the bathroom from the deck of cards were from when tep tried to cheat not from the deck of red cards. anyone who actually paid attention would know that - the one detail that was a little bit off was the real avery showing up without buzzing in first, but not all buildings require a person to buzz first to get entry, its possible that his girlfriend just decided to talk to tep first because they had been having fights. -the fake avery may have known about the parking tickets because he was probably close to the real avery either through work or family or even community ties. That is a mood point anyway though, because the fact is that he knew avery and gave in to the influence of money. Money will lead people to betray the closest of friends, which is probably what happened in this case.:if anyone has any additions or questionable instances that i left out, please feel free to comment:

Rogue-32 Finder's Fee has an exceedingly decent premise at its heart, but the writer (and we know who HE is) doesn't have the skill to pull it off; there are plotholes and contrivances galore, the stupidest one being the way the cops show up to 'seal off' the building - we're never actually given a reason why this happens, just some odd line from Forster about someone named "Raymond getting stuck" somewhere. I truly have no clue who "Raymond" is. This horrendously bad plot device could have been easily explained by writing in something about how, say, they were looking for someone who had supposedly escaped from custody into the building. I was thinking at one point that the cops (if indeed they WERE cops) were in on it with James Earl Jones' character (to keep him in the building so he could get the lottery ticket back), but that doesn't really hold water because near the end --POSSIBLE SPOILER -- when Tepper gives Forster's character the ticket, Forster would have known it wasn't the right ticket (he would have KNOWN the winning 3 numbers from James Earl Jones' character). So he would have come back for the RIGHT ticket after checking it, blah blah blah. -- END OF POSSIBLE SPOILERI hate when movies do this to you, when a film is just not well-written enough to truly hold up but yet you're sucked in because it's written just well enough to keep your attention. This could have been a really decent movie if the writer had put some genuine thought into it. Three words: details, details, details.

RMG I totally disagree with the first commenter. ALL of the characters in this movie are annoying to the extreme. There isn't one sympathetic character except for Avery in the surprise at the end.(At one point in the show the exasperated lead character shouts out some garbage to his doting timid neighbour lady but even though I replayed the scene multiple times I could NOT make out the words that so abruptly stop everyone in their tracks. Only by turning on the sub-titles could I figure out what he said -- how the other characters involved in their own worlds figured out what he said is beyond me. More care towards the enunciation and editing of the dialogue would have helped ESPECIALLY since this was a KEY moment in the plot.)This show is an interesting attempt at exploring human greed, selfishness, guilt and the ability to lie/conceal using a poker game as the vehicle for moving the story. Everybody is bluffing, everybody is lying, and nobody is likeable. Friends cheat friends, strangers cheat strangers, out-of-place violence ensues and a gruff crooked cop pops up throughout the show.The secondary story of the lead character coming to grips with his feelings for his girlfriend was worked in partly as an excuse for his "antsy" behaviour during the poker game and partly to reveal that this guy is on the knife edge, teetering on which side to fall on. Does he love this girl or not? Her ultra demure and insecure attitude to their relationship is reflected in the lead's inability to make a commitment.*** SPOILER ALERT ***Why the surprise ending tacked on at the end? Can you say CHEESE?So now I guess the moral of the story is that even though you struggle with your conscious and your good side eventually wins, life throws everyone for a loop to steal and make a mockery of any good deeds you do. So what is the point? Better to be selfish and take it while you can before someone takes you to the cleaners. SICK SICK SICK
