A Better Place

Creepy creepy creepy. Couldn't even finish it. Lead had me crawling out of my skin and not because he's a good actor but because he is a CREEP.

When God allowed man to create technology, specifically visual media, I am under the firm belief that he did not foresee the future and realize that a group of people with apparently a lot of resources to waste would come together and create this "disasterpiece" of a cinematic trainwreck titled "A Better Place". Would I have chosen this to watch if more options were available? No. But unfortunately for me, I chose to wake up and start my day by taking a chance on watching a movie that was unheard of and unknown to me in any way. I wish God would have had mercy on my soul. First off the lead role is acted out by this idiot we're supposed to take seriously as an adult who was sheltered and locked away by his mother to protect him. However, the acting is soooooo bad that we find the lead character's personality similar to Todd Cleary, who is the confused, withdrawn and possibly gay son of the Senator in the movie Wedding Crashers (2005). I'm not going to give away any spoilers but just remember what I told you about the amount of time you've wasted away from your life the moment you get to the part in the movie where the bright golden spotlight shines on the lead character and the special effects start dancing on your screen. You have been warned. Look, if you're dead set on committing Movie Suicide believe me there are wayy lest painful ways to do so. Consider jumping off of a high building, landing head first onto a crowded downtown street and almost instantly being pummeled by multiple cabs and Uber drivers who didn't notice your pancake shaped torso awkwardly blending in with the rest of the trash and discoloration on the street. I promise you that would be less painful. As for this movie. This is not a movie. This is the perfect way to kill your enemy and get away with it. So buy as many copies as you need and get to mailing them out. Your life will be better 2 hours after they receive it. #justbobbysopinion

If you like terrible movies, this is an elegant masterpiece on par with the 2016 presidential race. Perhaps they couldn't have done it without them.

I first infected my television and my dear girlfriend's mind when we were looking for something to watch, anything. We opened the preview and although skeptical, I was intrigued. We gave it a shot, just jumped on in there with cold coffee and no popcorn at all. Had I known the ride I was in for, I would have done it all differently by repeatedly bashing my head into the front door until the brain trauma had finally leaked in.

The outright rudeness of the opening characters was splendid. It seemed that at every turn, any individual might walk in off the street with a raging case of hemorrhoids and sit on a gallon of fresh vanilla ice cream like it was no big deal to absolutely no reaction of the cast of background mutes.

I wondered to myself, what kind of town is this? Intrigued further, I continued to watch. I knew what I was in for, but I was completely unaware that some people have a completely different interpretation of a super power than the rest of the world, and some of these people have begun to infiltrate some of my favorite film genres. But can you blame me for continuing? I was thrown off my guard. I haven't seen movie making this bad since Kurt Russell wore and eye patch and Dolph Lundgren had baby smooth skin.

To be fair, When a movie opens up with forgettable 80's street thugs dressed all cloak and dagger like in Walmart shopping outfits pulling pranks on the local diner's lifer waitress, you just get pulled in somehow. It wasn't too long before I reasoned that this movie was clearly a joke and nothing more.

Now, if for some reason, you went the full mile like me and mine, I do recommend pulling out the sweaters as suggested by dbh850, because you are in for the flat tire of your life. I was shocked by the terrible service you get at the grocery store when your card is shut down, the overwhelming cunning of the local sheriff, and I may forever wonder just how many envelopes Sam Abram carries with him into church. Tireless hours were spent on thinking of the most immediate and abrasive reaction one might have to anything that put them at any sort of disadvantage or just simply didn't work out the way they were supposed to.

I for one am glad that I won't get this hour of my life back, because it was bound to happen, and I am grateful I will never have to relive the experience of seeing this movie again. Not an ounce of curiosity was left unspent, and I will sleep soundly knowing I have finally seen the worst movie possible. Putting it at the top of my list of poovies.

I really don't know why so many people dislike this movie. It was perfectly acted and the actors where great for their roles. This movie exploits all bad behavior people do on basic and some more. The corruption and the things that we are willing to sacrifice to help others who don't deserve it for better off all. This movie even if its a wishful dream, is done nicely and touch u deep inside. I recommend to people who have at least some good in them to watch this. Its B movie, but a good one. Low budget used spot on.

So apparently I'm one of few that actually like this movie....

I don't find that odd as I'm normally the only one I know who like certain movies....

While I would consider this a B movie, I wouldn't see how this is a horrible movie. I'm sure it could have been done slightly better.... however....

I'm sure we can all relate to at least one character personally and know quite a few of the other characters in their circle....

This is the type of story that can happen in any town in any country.... while the "superpower" or "gift" of Jeremy's may not be for real, the message behind it is real.... What you do to the least of people you do to the most loved of people....

Everyone places value on relationships at different levels.... Your mom may be the best relationship you ever have.... your spouse may be the 2nd.... a bully negative value.... but what about the people you don't interact with on a regular basis but see or notice.... like the homeless man or the drug addict.... most people think they can get away with treating them badly because who cares about them? they are just trash.... In this town that was Jeremy.... and if you are willing to physically hurt someone because of a perception, then you are probably hurting the person closest to you just as bad but in a different way....

When movies aren't BLOCKBUSTERS they have to be appreciated in a different way....

If I could have his "gift" I would probably understand why at times I feel I'm mistreated.... the majority of the time it is misguided emotion....
