The Spiders' Man

It's a honest film that tries to deal with mental problems issues. Shot in a few locations it has a pretty good cast and an interesting story that, in my opinion, could have been explored further.

Yes. I wanted, I hoped to give this film more than 6 but I cannot. Sincerely I can't. I was hoping from a better work from this director I like but this film had a great potential that the director, somehow, did not take advantage of. The acting is really good but there are some problems in the story. It feels like they run out of money and they cut it short, without exploring further, without trying to find a better ending. it's still enjoyable somehow but I was hoping for something better, for a deeper exploration of the characters. The actor who played Mike, the trouble minded guy, gave a great and deep performance and make me believe in his character. The others not so much.

Light but deep, funny but serious. I really enjoyed watching this. Good start with characters description scenes, it progresses unexpectedly and wraps up nicely. A good film.

I watched this movie today freshly released on Amazon Prime. I got attracted by its title mostly in this period that the Marvels' superhero is gonna hit the theatres here in US. Well, not bad, really. There are villains and there's a hero. But It's not the hero everyone is expecting. That's the forte of this film that I find worth watching. It's a two brothers comedy/thriller with a bit of drama very enjoyable and, at times, also quite funny. Its humor is subtle here and almost grotesque there, grotesque like many hilarious situations. This is a niche film that deserves attention. Good music, good acting (mostly the actor that portrays the schizophrenic brother) and very well directed. The production value is not huge (shot in few locations between Italy I could see - btw I love the Ferrari) but this is the proof you don't need much money to produce a decent film.

Release on the same day as the Marvel's Spider Man Far From Home, this indie film from the Philippines is a nice discovery. It's a dark comedy but also a thriller involving mental challenged characters (both the hero and the villain, this is the thing that stands out in this film) that makes you meditate about brotherhood and the father and son relationship. I watched it on Amazon Prime and I recommend it.
