Clay's Redemption

Except main character, acting lame, no connections! - Imagine being in a group of people, all who are really uninteresting which makes you stop listening to them within the minute - this film is that so if you fancy putting yourself through 75 mins of such a scenario watch away.... Script, acting, music, filming all leaves a lot to desire - Just not interesting. + Who ever rated this anything higher than 6 is absolutely connected to the production or was locked up for 45years, unaware what modern TV standards are and spent 45 yrs deliriously dreaming to watch a program, of any kind

Let's start with the positives, Akie as Clay (the main character) is just outstanding altho in general I was more engaged with the "villains": Joe Wredden as Johnson reminded me a bit of Sherlock (the series), Elsa Nori as Oona is obviously on her element, Patrick Carroll Jr. is clearly having fun with his character Mercurio and Magdalena as Learza is just a delight to watch.

I don't give it a 10 as I know it's an arthouse b-movie, still feels a bit too short and I wouldn't have minded if we knew more about the characters, so it works more like a TV pilot than a movie, still, it's something I would really like to see. Also, it took me a second viewing to understand the whole thing a bit more, not sure if this will going down well with the short attention spam audiences.

Saying that, the pace is great, the music is awesome and the world Carlos created is atmospheric and fascinating. Clay's Redemption treats the audience with respect, so it doesn't drown you with exposition (some people will have trouble with this though) and it did remind me of Carpenter's They Live (one of my very favourite films) so I'm happy this classic way of filmmaking is making a come back.

Loved it, recommended it!

I thoroughly enjoyed it, it is a noir movie with supernatural and cyberpunk influence. An introvert movie, as opposed to the loud blockbusters out there. It speaks softly to the audience and allows the audience to develop the athmosphere in their heads. I can see how it could become one of those cult must-see movies.

I loved this movie! It takes the modern day as a backdrop to a supernatural war in a way that I've never seen before. Every other similar concept put to film has been bombastic and inevitably leaned into its more fantastical elements, but Clay's Redemption is dark, gritty, and restrained, giving the impression that there's a conflict going on that the participants really don't want to have exposed to the world at large.

Enough information is brought forward for the movie to make sense within its own story, but there are hints to something much greater going on surrounding it. Harking back to the movies of the 70's and 80's, it is presented to work as a standalone movie, but the audience will be left with many questions that could be answered in sequels and there are plenty of hooks that would make that a possibility.

If you're a fan of movies like Blade Runner or a fan of the World of Darkness tabletop RPG franchise, you would owe it to yourself to give this movie a watch. A suspenseful noir thriller punctuated with tight action beats and steeped in supernatural intrigue.

Poor dialogues, poor fight scenes, total nonsense filmed in dark. Dont waste your time, trust me
