This Old Machine

Kept hanging on thinking I would get some satisfaction but it never happened..Story is full of unexplained holes..The 2 actors I recognized should have never agreed to that movie,it just puts them closer to unemployment

Those reviewers who said you should watch a wall instead were right. A total waste of time.

I should have read the reviews first. OMG could they have kept shots on a person with no dialogue for any longer?? As a filmmaker who has made NO BUDGET to low budget, this was amateur hours with recognizable talent. Someone give me the amount that this film was made on and I will make 2 better films. Writing, directing and acting from the smaller names was horrible. I couldn't give less than one star or I would have given NONE.

I can't relate to the low opinions and star ratings. I'm convinced that the director executed his artist and story-telling vision. The movie portrays high, messy humanity at its worst, and the actors come across as real-life individuals -- no make-up, no beautiful people, no perfect statements/lines,... no contrivances. The acting was real people talking as real people talk and real people do. I feel Henriksen was particularly effective. This movie is life with a little 'l' delivering Life with a big 'L' truth about the human condition. I found it engaging and effective at establishing and sustaining authentic dramatic tension. I still don't like shaky-cam, but here I think it worked; and, sure, there was loose end or two remaining, but life has loose ends, and the story remained focused.

Took the advice of the previous review and watched wall. Great experience.
