Peter Five Eight

First of all, this movie has no Comedy and no thrill. Kevin Spacey possibly did the movie for one of the following reasons: 1. He lost a bet 2. He had too many speeding tickets and the judge order community service hours.

3. He got his head bumped and lost it for a couple of weeks.

Or this is a college project for a group of Art students and it happens that Kevin is the uncle for one of those students, so he was doing them a favour!

This movie is a failed attempt to blend European cinema with Indie style in an American fashion. But the result is a boring and visually poor cinamogr

Avoid this movie with all cost.

Forget the intriguing, stylish and sophisticated movies we've seen Kevin Spacey in before. This steaming pile of drivel was unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. The acting was appalling - the female actor who played Sam was so over-the-top with her wild eyes and shocked expressions, it was embarrassing. Kevin did try, bless him, and the scene where he expertly mimed a song in the pool hall was the highlight for me. But the rest was just awful. I did my crossword puzzle while the movie played out. Towards the end it picked up a teeny bit, thanks to Rebecca de Mornay, but a few minutes out of a full length movie is far from satisafactory. Life is too short and there are so many other movies to watch, so please, give this a big miss. I think I'm gonna watch Kevin in LA Confidential again, just to appease myself .....

Peter 5:8 KJV: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour"

It kicks off like amateur hour. Affectation creeps in as if someone is trying to sell something cheap as much more valuable. At one point it looks like it is going to turn into a David Lynch film. Something big seems to be going on, with millions of dollars being transferred to the Kevin Spacey character. In the end, it's all just pointless: the Bible quote, the devil, the guilt, the hitman. Nothing adds up. There is no thrill, no intrigue, no action, no (dark) humor. The bloated Kevin Spacey is quite unappealing. Actually going with the idea that this is just a parable, with Spacey as the devil, will make the whole film look even more ridiculous.

Hope. What can get you through this movie is hope. The hope that it will turn into something better. The love for Kevin Spacey, Rebecca De Mornay or Jet Jandreau. A deep faith in religious movies. But first and foremost hope.

Sam (Jet Jandreau) is a professional realty agent working under Brenda (Rebecca De Mornay). Her home life is a drunken mess with a drunken loser husband. Out of blue, Peter (Kevin Spacey) starts investigating and interfering in her life. She has a dark secret past with Lock (Jake Weber).

This is strictly a B-movie with pretentions of being a noir story. The dialogue has some clunky lines. The concept is fine but nothing too special. The filmmaking is not that good. This does have three veteran actors, but the rest are poor. I don't know anything about Jet. She's not good. Some of the minor actors are much worst. As for Spacey, he's trying to add some comedic touches and they don't always fit. I can't say that I love seeing him anyways. It all adds up to a weird B-movie viewing experience.

Up to 2017, Kevin Spacey at the world at his feet in the movies, theatre and television. A multiple award winner, he was in demand.

Then after some sexual assault allegations. It all went sour. His turn in the movie, All the Money in the World saw his performance reedited at the last minute by director Ridley Scott. His replacement Christopher Plummer got an Oscar nomination.

Peter Five Eight is Spacey's first starring role in seven years. This is a low budget independent feature. Major movie companies will still not touch him.

Spacey gives a loud broad performance as charismatic hitman with the codename Peter Five Eight. Hired by Lock (Jake Weber) to find real estate agent named Sam (Jet Jandreau) who is running away from her past.

In order to find her, he charms Brenda (Rebecca De Mornay) to find out just who is who in a town full of eccentrics, yokels and hicks.

Peter Five Eight is an absurd noirish crime film. It went straight to streaming and outside of Spacey, there is little to recommend it. The acting and story is all over the place.
