A movie for social misfits.

Actually I think the film would appeal more to the cerebral than to the "cool kids". Rollins is a deep thinker, Kardashian fans wouldn't get it or him.

at last! well said.

Wow... bitter and cynical much? The whole "chess club" statement at the end of your post really demonstrates your transparently bitter anti-intellectualism!

While I can understand disliking a film due to poor production quality or style, your intellectual inferiority-complex is showing!

For some reason you didn't enjoy the film as much as the rest of the people around you, which causes you to feel insecure about your own intelligence, so you defensively insult everyone else who enjoys the movie to make yourself feel better. Unfortunately, your reaction is so obvious you may as well be naked! Perhaps you should just post your opinion of the film itself, and not post your shallow insults of the people who enjoyed it.

Oh, BTW, White Queen to King's Rook 5, checkmate!

I disagree. You didn't like it, and to each their own. But I thought Rollins was an inspired choice, and his flat affect combined with the well-written script gave us a new twist on what a man who'd lived millennia would be like. He's just, plain, bored. His biggest thrill is playing Bingo.

The story wasn't even predictable, as midnight came and went and his only comment on the situation was "Where's Andrea?" "Probably with her mom"

As with most things, some may like it, others won't. But I have a feeling this may turn out to be another Napoleon Dynamite - no way to tell who will and who won't.

This was streaming on Netflix, so I reluctantly gave it a go. I say "reluctantly" because Rollins, for me at least, can't act and has zero charisma. Plus, Rollins is Rollins! They guy has been around the fringes of popular culture for 30 years now, and he's too recognizable as Rollins. Therefore, it's tough to force him into a different character.

That all said, I turned it on for a few minutes thinking it'd suck, and I could laugh about Rollins, etc. However, it wasn't all that bad! Rollins definitely was hard to separate from his pop-persona, but thankfully he didn't need to act much, and sort of did ok. I mean, he wasn't "acting" ever, and the director kept him low-key, so it sort of worked.

But, overall, you're right: the music was uninspired and confusing, and the whole idea of casting Rollins in the lead was clearly a cheap lure for his built-in fanbase who will crawl a hundred miles through broken glass to be near him. I swear, rabid fans like his need to get some fresh air once in a while.

Not the worst film ever made, but be warned: it's not that great either! lol

At least you solved the mystery of why the script was so bad even if the idea had potential, it probably was written in 2 weeks, and filmed in a month or so. Would make sense.

Yep. Looks like pretty much every aspect of the movie eluded you.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

You are entitled to your opinion, but you don't need to bash the movie. there are lots of people who liked it and you must respect that.
