Very well executed
To me, this movie is perfection.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Watched this on Netflix. I figured I like Samuel L Jackson and Luke Wilson as actors. Sadly dissapointed. Samuel L Jackson is way more talented than this low budget movie made it out to be. It was just all together awefu. Don't waste your time watching it.
...and he's dead.How did they get SLJ and Luke WIlson to agree to this? What garbage.
Weird, but despite all the negative opinions about this movie , I must confess that I thought it was a entertaining and ingeniously intertwined psychopathic film . I admit , it's not a simplistic story , sometimes it seems confusing and has a sudden end at which point you sit back and the only thing you can say is "Huh ?" . When you expect a movie with a comprehensible fluently told story, with not too many complications and no shocking impressions , and a happy feel good ending , you better look out for some soft Disney movie ."Meeting Evil " for me was a psychotic roller coaster trip where a typical day of a real estate agent very quickly turns into a horrible nightmare with a trip straight to hell . At one time I really had the impression that Samuel L. Jackson was the personification of the devil himself . That he came to help the poor guy John to take revenge at everyone who made his life hopeless and almost ruined it. And after that I had the idea that John was being transferred into a split personality and he himself was on a killing spree . As one of the detectives suggested, it is possible that someone on the verge of a personal bankruptcy and about to lose everything , could snap and start such a mayhem.SLJ plays , in my judgment , the hired assassin , who takes too much satisfaction in killing anyone who in his eyes is disturbing rude and hypocritical, in a masterful way . His staring was at times stunning. At moments a demonic destructive crazy look . The next moment a understanding and comforting look . Meanwhile using one liners of wisdom and restorative language so that John finally takes matters into his own hands .Luke Wilson had his lesser moments . Sometimes even in a disruptive manner . I think that if you have such an experience being tossed around the whole day from one improbable situation to another , you'll surely have an emotional , anxious and aggressive reaction . But the whole movie he acted as if he was attending a mega funeral. So sad and beaten down . On the other hand , maybe I would be acting in the same way when I was in his situation : an enormous debt , job lost , probably realizing that your wife is playing twister in bed with the muscular young handyman who constructs the pool .Leslie Bibb as John's wife , surprised me once when she was verbally sweeping the floor with the female detective. The frightened , average housewife suddenly transformed into a fury .As mentioned, it raises some questions at the end , but I am still convinced that Richie's statement is close to the ultimate truth . Besides, you can also see at the beginning there's the intention to shoot John. He had already opened the trunk of his car and his gun ready to shoot , but was stopped by the fact that the little girl with the dog was watching. There were only few minor things that weren't that great. First the sometimes rather weird actions of the police.And at the the end the struggle, knife waving and stabbing and hitting with a golfclub, looked hugely amateurish. But these disadvantages are outweighed by the whole of this highly entertaining thriller . A perfect film to start another movie weekend.
This film should have been so good but wasn't. I watched right to the end, waiting desperately for Wilson to show some kind of emotion and.....nothing. If you basically end up going on the day out from hell with a psychopath , I'm pretty sure your face would register surprise or dismay or just something relating to an emotion but Wilson managed to go through the entire film as though he was standing in an incredibly long queue at the bank. His wife, on the other hand, managed to go from Stepford to Psycho in one fell swoop. Throw in some idiotic police, Silent Bob's love children, an apparently homeless child with a dog and a ridiculously stereotyped Samuel L Jackson then you have the recipe for Meeting Evil, a film I would have liked to have liked but didn't. I noticed some people are questioning why it went straight to DVD, I'm questioning why it was made in the first place.
