      Audience Member This movie really sucks Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The first ten minutes you're wondering what the hell is going on but then all of a sudden you're hooked. Just another reason why Edward Furlong can make a movie amazing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member With the end of the world approaching, a man locks himself in a hotel room in Las Vegas with his other personalities trying to remember who he is and asking himself many existential questions. It doesn't take long for the premise to become tiring and the film to drag. Eventually between the annoying characters and the unoriginal philosophical views, there is nothing much to watch or look forward to. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member "A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on."-William S. Burroughs This film that is not a film, just wants you to slow down and think a little. While your using that slippery noodle, what does THX 1138, THE MATRIX and THIS IS NOT A MOVIE have in common? If you gave up, you need to read a book or something. Go ahead, break the rules. Gandi, Lennon, Malcome X, "Che", JFK, Lincoln, they all thought differnt and got killed for it. Bang, bang. So next time if you want to think differnt, think again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderful exploration of master character actor, Edward Furlong, as "Fat Kid Rock". Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review daniel h Poor Edward Furlong, I feel so bad for him having to be stuck in this awful, awful film. You can tell he is doing his damnedest to make the best of what he has, but the film gives him absolutely nothing to work with. Now, the first part of the film is interesting, but the premise behind the whole film quickly grows dull. The ending feels as if the screenwriter had no idea how to properly end this film, and so went with the worst possible option. The film teases that it's about some pretty deep material like existentialism and the truth behind reality and society, but the film ends up being nothing more than absurd thoughtlessness and winds up becoming a satire of itself.
