Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Micitype Pretty Good
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
mario_c It's a very nice film with a suspenseful and mysterious plot about an insane homeless man (who once was a talented piano player) which solved by himself a crime scene. The plot starts being very strange and puzzling, because we watch the happenings through the insane guy's mind, and everything seems to be a bit confusing. However, that's the best part of the movie to me! It's mysterious, unexplained, bizarre and has some strange scenes (which pass only inside his mind) of pure delusion, and shot in dark and surreal way. Great cinematography, I must say! The acting is also brilliant, especially by Samuel L. Jackson, who plays the insane guy, ROMULUS LEDBETTER. He's an excellent actor and one more time he proves it, as a great part of this film is just his acting work! The film has a great soundtrack as well! I hadn't heard of this movie so far so it was a very good surprise to me.
Lee Eisenberg Samuel L. Jackson is usually a dependable actor, and he doesn't disappoint in the mind-bending "Caveman's Valentine". Playing homeless Romulus Ledbetter taking it upon himself to find a murderer in New York City, he really draws you in. We don't often see such intense portrayals of decaying psyches, and I don't think that anyone except Jackson could do it like this.All in all, this may not be the ultimate masterpiece, but it is a movie that I recommend. You may not be able to trust your own judgment after watching this. Also starring Colm Feore and Anthony Michael Hall (yep, the Brat Packer).Weird. The three valentine-titled flicks in my vocabulary are all thrillers of some sort. There's this one plus "Valentine" and "My Bloody Valentine" (those last two are slasher movies).
gridoon "The Caveman's Valentine" is a fascinating, uncondescending exploration of schizophrenia AND a workable mystery with a surprise at the end. Before viewing it, I expected more of the latter, but the movie keeps its ingredients on a uniquely suspenseful balance. Samuel Jackson is impressive, both for accepting such an "unglamorous" role and for the way he actually pulls it off. Movies that have something different to show you are so rare these days that when you get the chance to watch one, you shouldn't miss it. (***)
Movie Nuttball The Caveman's Valentine was really a disappointing film.Sure Sam Jackson put on a great performance and Terence Blanchard's score was great especially the theme but other than that this one is a stinker.During the whole film I thought that Colm Feore looked just like Liam Neesan but without hair.Sometimes you just don't know what is happening in the film and I didn't care for that mixed sex scene either.I really can't say any more except only see this if you are a hardcore fan of Samuel L. Jackson!
