      Justin Chang Variety A contrived but weirdly compelling thriller involving a tortured hitman, his willing prey, and the inexplicable curse that keeps them both from realizing their shared goal. Jul 12, 2015 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com The final Act O'Twists, which almost anyone will see coming from very far away, lets down the character work that preceded it and the whole piece sinks just a bit too far into the melodramatic muck ... Rated: 2/4 Jul 10, 2015 Full Review Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times "Suicide Theory" does boast a couple of intriguingly complex characters, however, and some interesting points on how little satisfaction is derived from retribution, especially when what goes around reliably comes around. Jul 9, 2015 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Director Dru Brown delves into a world of palpable violence tinged psychological terror and self-exploration with great aplomb. Dec 14, 2019 Full Review Sarah Ward ArtsHub Smack[s] of talent, and of toiling valiantly to do justice to conceptually intriguing yet not completely convincing material. Rated: 2.5/5 May 17, 2017 Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher Guilt, grief, and forgiveness get wrapped up in a Twilight Zone-ish shroud of fate in this downbeat trifle of a crime drama.

      Eric D One of my favorite movies. Great acting, nice action and very weird unsuspected ending! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/22 Full Review Audience Member A movie with a wonderfully creative premise that goes horribly off the rails once the lamentable line is uttered: "Why don't you get to know me better." From that point on, which unfortunately happens very early in the movie, you are left with a slow crawl through a miasma of tawdry sets and lackluster conversations to discover the psyche of characters that you don't care about. So disappointing. I wish the filmmakers had taken their initial idea for the movie to other filmmakers, who could have done something special with it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this movie! The twists and turns keep you guessing about what is really happening. The compassion the main characters show for each other by the end is heartwarming. And, the ending...well, it was worth the wait! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie. There are twists and turns and tons of emotion in this movie. The acting is really great. I love how the plot all intermingles. Cant recommend this movie enough. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why this movie kept my attention but it certainly did. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/18 Full Review Audience Member Really sappy movie with an extremely contrived, convoluted, predictable plot that feels out of place with all the violence. Reminds me of the part of Traffic I watched. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
