      Mike J Sonic is a movie star theater theaters movie theaters and sonic theater Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/22 Full Review Audience Member Basically two people talking in a room. Denis Leary is good but this is kinda boring. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A character-driven psychological drama/mystery/sci-fi. It moves at deliberately slow place, relying solely on performances to advance the story. Leary and Davis are absolutely superb. Despite the slow pace the movie never gets boring, and the emotional impact in he end was indescribable. Having said that, It feels very much like a stage play (and as I learned later, it is in fact based on a stage play). So if you are looking for an action packed sci-fi with special effects, this movie is not for you. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review tom k Denis Leary gives a terrific performance in this strange psychological trip. A story that keeps you wondering what's real and what's imaginary. A great premise, but unfortunately, when the truth is revealed, the ending sadly falls apart. A big disappointment after such a promising buildup. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A series of lifeless, bland monologues that stretch over two hours. Final takes a Twilight Zone premise that could easily have been fit into half an hour and inserts enough pauses to fill two hours. There's so little chemistry between Leary and Davis that I have to wonder why Leary's character didn't simply jab a pen in her eye and run for freedom. Ending is rather predictable and so underwhelming that most of the audience is likely to sleep at the halfway point. The budget was a minimal 80,000, however as other critics have stated, more has been done with considerably less. Poor script, plotholes, and pretentiousness aside, the film is criminally uninteresting in spite of Leary's driving performance. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Better than I expected. Shows what some decent acting and a focused story can do with a limited budget.
