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.

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.

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.

I read a review in which the author wrote: "The acting is at times poor and at times exaggerated" (something in these lines) and then ranted about not understanding what kind of comeback this was for Kevin Spacey.

This movie shows us the present reality of cinema: inexperienced people, who know jack about writing and/or directing, and are given money to make a movie.

As many recent films: good idea; not a bad script; horrible execution.

I thought the leading actress must have been picked for her talent, because she has the dullest, inexpressive face I have seen in years... but then I "dug up" the "director's" history, and they have collaborated previously. So there's a shocker!

I don't think there is bad or overacting... I just think that the parts are too much for everybody, and too little for Rebecca de Mornay (another story for Hardcore Surgery Specials) and Kevin Spacey.

He does not overact... the part is ridiculous and he tries to make it good. He fails, because, as we say in Portugal, there's no tip from where to grab the part...

I understand why he took it. It's not his comeback, and whoever says this, know nothing about movies, actors and getting railroaded inconsequentially.

He took it, because he has to get back to work, and it seemed like a good way to start, but again we have to go back to the amateur who directed this, who came from Visual Effects something position, in some, actually, rather popular films.

I was really looking forward to this after "Control" (where he was a brilliant voice/character), but I am disappointed, because a bad director wastes a good cast.

The climax is absurd, at best... The ending is interesting, because it leaves You wondering, and that's, as far as I am concerned, positive.

I don't blame Kevin Spacey... I get Rebbeca de Mornay... I loathe the rest (of the people and movie).

This could have been a lot better!

This film is about an out of place real estate agent named Sam (Jet Jandreau) and her Joe Dirt looking Husband Travis (Michael Emery) living in a small Washington town. When a shady looking character by the name of Peter (Kevin Spacey) shows up asking questions about Sam's past. The film also stars Rebecca De Mornay (Brenda) Jake Weber (Lock) Garrett Smith (Grant). The film is written and directed by Michael Zaiko Hall, who did a poor job in my opinion. If this was how Kevin Spacey was to make his comeback it was a major swing and miss. The plot which was fine but it was overshadowed by such poor acting and overacting as well. A community theater production could have done a better job. At times I thought maybe they were trying to make it so bad in attempt it to be good. Such a waste of talent not sure what they were thinking when they signed up for this role. Disappointing.
