Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

This could've been a fun sarcastic little short.Instead it's a pretty long and not particulary interesting movie. Humor is hits and misses, sometimes it almost works. I guess it works better if you are a fan of Supernatural-like shows.While watching I came up with lots of interesting ideas about the mystery behind the main character. But it turned out to be absolutely random and not connected to anything. You can replace his background story with any random background story because there isn't really any connection, just a set of random scenes edited by a guy with ADHD (all dialogue is edited with like 1,5 sec cuts).Random scenes happen, some more random scenes happen, we are shown that he cannot die. I guess with a title like this you are expected to be surprised. Then comes the random reveal and the movie just ends. Nothing really happened so I can't even discuss anything in detail. You can't spoil this movie either.I love trash movies, but this isn't even good trash. I was surprised to see such high ratings, I guess this has a cult following, but I really can't figure out why.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this perspective of an immortal human. Having said that, I would have liked it to be even better - because there were a few letdowns that other people don't seem to be particularly bothered about. One of these was the weird vampirism factor. A bit contrived for my liking - yet Henry Rollins did portray it quite well, given the script.Of course, like most others, I was extremely impressed by the way that a person who is as old as mankind would not have much to say in casual communication. This must be the most thought-provoking theme of the entire story. The minimalist lifestyle is obviously appealing too and one can immediately imagine that since there is time to try everything out, several times, that ultimately every experience is worth having, regardless of how unappealing it may seem to mere mortals.As others have mentioned, there remains enormous scope for a series of this character - but it would require very careful writing. It takes exceptional effort to create an interesting and credible narrative about an exceptional person. Too often, even a team of writers is just not imaginative enough to come up with ideas for a genius, an immortal, a super hero or any other character that is greater than them collectively, in some way.

He never died, was a fun interesting horror film, henry Rollins acting is excellent, and I haven't had as much fun in a film for a long time, I did not want it to end. Don't be fooled into thinking it is a B grade movie. Henry carries this movie with ease. Only flaw is the DVD cover is misleading. Enjoyable film

A middle-aged man lives a lonely life. And it is pretty much the most boring one possible. Every day he goes to a diner where he orders a vegetarian meal using as few words as possible. He watches a lot of television and sleeps a lot. Once or twice a week he might go and play bingo in the local church but only using two cards because he doesn't want to keep track of more. But, his dreams are riddled with screams and moans of agony, his past life still haunting him, and every now and then he buys a mysterious package from a hospital intern. Our story starts as he meets an unexpected figure connected with his past, just as a few tough guys come knocking on his door wanting to know the whereabouts of his most recent dealer slash package deliverer.It's also possible that I'm going to say too much during this review. It really is a film worth seeing knowing as little as possible. Trust me when I say it's good and go see it. Because it is one of the most intense and brutal films I've seen in recent years. The story behind this lone man unfolds slowly, and it's not at all what you'd expect. It's pretty hard to define what this film is. It's a genre film, but not in a way that's going to bother anyone. It's a crime film, but not in the usual sense. It's even comedic, mostly due to Henry Rollins' deadpan delivery in the midst of all the brutality. It's themes are sin, the burden of the past, even family obligations in a certain sense. It's biblical. Perhaps even vampiric, but only on a thematic level.Henry Rollin' performance keeps it all together. Some would probably say that the film is so over the top that it's comedy, but I don't really get that from this film. It has good laughs in it, but the humour is rather dark and comes from Rollins' unflappable demeanour. The film is filled with brutal imagery, but it is not too gory for most viewers. It doesn't feast on the gore, like some slasher films.All in all, definitely a film that surprised me with its quality.
