Good concept, poorly executed.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
I dislike "blood and guts" movies, and only saw this one because I was channel surfing, thought it was about a guy and his cooking show, and was drawn in by the time I realized its genre.For a low budget movie, I'm surprised at how good the lead actors were, and that even though both characters were impossible to like, they had strong chemistry together and there was palpable suspense over what would happen next.Surprisingly, the dialog was well-written, and there was some very dark comedy in there. The tasks that the captor demanded were not complicated nor incredible, but rather simply creative ways to make the critic "eat his words." Some of the negative reviews in here lament that there was not enough blood and/or guts/gore, but there was enough intensity and thrills created, without having to show every bloody detail.I found this to be a suspenseful, well-acted independent film.
If you like movies about revenge, then this is THE movie for you. James Legros plays Peter Grey, a famous successful reality chef whose career is destroyed by Franks, an online restaurant critic. Grey captures Franks and sort of makes him see what its like to be a chef and have every little thing get criticized only with severe punishment. The ending was fairly predictable. I highly recommend watching this and no, I am in no way affiliated with the production or making of this movie or any of its cast. I liked the cast and didn't care that it was a low budget movie. Certainly the best "revenge" movie I can think of. Similar in some ways to "misery".
Peter Grey is a pompous, talented chef whose life is about to take a turn for the worse after an unnecessarily horrible review by blogger JT Franks. Grey's already skewed world perspective changes drastically as he resolves to kidnap Franks, torturing him with a series of seemingly simple cooking tasks.Bitter Feast gets points for originality and gloss. The film looks quite good for an independent effort and the actors really throw themselves into the roles. They actually hired actors, not faces, to flesh out the interesting script. James Le Gros especially never goes over the top but plays the role rather subtly and Josh Lucas is excellent, being sympathetic and unsympathetic all at once. The always reliable Larry Fessenden shows up as a slimy private eye trying to locate Franks.Don't expect your life to change, but if you're looking for a movie with some originality and panache, then dig in!
I have no idea how anyone could possibly say anything good about this crap movie. I'm a B movie fan and not even I could stand this yawn-fest. Totally predictable and you knew what was going to happen 10 minutes into the movie. You just had to sit, *yawn* and try to stay awake for the next hour or so until it came about. No surprises here. Same old, same old, except with nothing to keep you awake or keep you from shutting it off and completely forgetting it. There Is Nothing Even Mildly Interesting About This Lame movie. The dialog is dull and predictable. It drags on so slowly, for so long, and the characters are so idiotic and shallow that you don't care who lives, who dies or what happens to them along the way. You just want them to all s.t.f.u and die already, so this slow, boring movie can be over with!"Bitter Feast" is one of those waste-of-your-time movies that deserves a negative star rating.
