Christopher Long Movie Metropolis Goliath features some genuinely brilliant moments. Rated: 7/10 Feb 8, 2010 Full Review Heather Huntington ReelzChannel.com A weird little film with slow pacing, an increasingly and uncomfortably unsympathetic main character, and little interest. Rated: 3/10 Sep 8, 2008 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 4/5 Jan 29, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] A strangely interesting and funny film. Marginal thumbs up. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member There's a point where 'Artistically Bleak' becomes 'Mind-numbingly Pointless,', and this film takes home the gold for the latter, while something like "Shrink" would win the former. That film was slow, but well edited, beautiful and impactful, while "Goliath" is just slow and useless. It's also disgusting when one realizes that the theme music for the entire film is the drumbeat from the nasty Asian butt porn. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this flick..makes me laugh every time. I am dying to find out who sings the song during the opening credits. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member This proved to be a most annoying film, about a man with anger issues whose life is spiraling out of control. David Zellner wrote, directed, and starred in this film, and plays the main (unnamed) character with a quietly simmering rage that often boils over in inappropriate behavior. Rather than feel sympathy, one feels that he has been the architect of his reduced circumstances. The acting from the supporting cast is amateurish and the lines are often delivered in an emotionless monotone. The cat, who one would expect to have a central role, is seen only in photographs, or in a lifeless cameo. At eighty minutes, the film seemed a lot longer, and this viewer suffered through to the end, only to be disappointed by a needlessly violent attack on a helpless victim whose guilt only existed in the main character's mind. A most unpleasant experience. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprisingly great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member The pace is too slow and the main character gets more and more creepy. I am was not sure if I was supposed to laugh or feel sorry for him when he finally breaks down. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
