good back-story, and good acting
As Good As It Gets
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.
This is a strange movie with a super cast. No wonder it isn't famous or didn't do to well despite the talent.Mischa Barton at her prettiest, Madeleine Stowe post lip job but still lovely, Jonathan Rhys Meyers at his most way off. What more could you want? A good story. It's a strange mix of thriller horror cult with vampire like blood stuff going on.A mother and daughter are on the road but get mixed up in strange cult led by JRM. There are slow moments then some horror and action. It's all rather distasteful and meaningless and the story isn't well written. Things don't really add up to much or come together well.Only worth watching if you are want to see the main stars in an obscure movie.
With such actors as Johnathan Rhys Meyers, and Madeleine Stowe one initially might think reviews giving this movie the thumbs down might be a bit harsh. Unfortunately, this effort is no gem...and manages to run out of octane before it has even begun. Redundant plot, redundant characters can't even save the best of actors and this piece is full of predictability. Unfortunately, the predictability runs straight into the end of the movie where we are left to wonder HOW? things end up as they do. For the reviewers who gave this piece anymore than 2 stars I offer that just because you like something it doesn't mean it is good. I'm a big Twinkie fan but that doesn't mean they are actually good...it just means I like bad food. Same with this movie there will be a few people who will "buy" into the visual images. Those images (and there aren't many) are the only thing that cause this piece to get my two stars, that and the actors. The gas tank party palace- could have been really cool device in a different movie. But This little ditty is just plain out of gas! Rolling down the road on fumes.
After reading some of the comments on Octane, i really was in doubt weather to watch the movie or not. But hey, it was Saturday night, nothing else to watch, so i gave it a try. I was prepared to get puzzled half through the movie, 'cause some comments explained the ending was hard to get.I did get the ending, but i don't get some of the comments. The movie doesn't explain everything into detail: it leaves a little of the plot to your own fantasy, but the story of the movie is pretty consistent.Overall the acting is doable, Madeleine Stowe is intriguing as always and the cinematographic shots and the editing give the movie a plus. True, the story does rap up a little too fast at the ending and this movie is definitely not a horror, but a thriller. For a late Saturday night a nice thriller to watch.
Totally sucked. Boring. Awful. Ridiculous. Stupid. Exercise in wasting celluloid. Waste of Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Barton - always horrible. Barton - talentless. Stowe - surprised she'd do such tripe. Tedius. Wanting of plot. Wanting of a story. Wanting of good writing. Wanting of good direction. Wanting of art direction. Wanting of anything good. WANTING. WANTING. Totally sucked. Boring. Awful.
