Rattlesnakes

Karma is a bi... zarre element in storytelling that can twist the mind and conscience of an audience with great force. It can manipulate and entertain the viewer in such effective way that the viewer feels they have a say in the ending of such tales.

Rattlesnakes is a neo-noir psychological thriller brought to you by visionary director Julius Amedume and the gifted Jimmy Jean-Louis, who champions an incomparable performance while also triumphing as a producer.

Rattlesnakes is a tale that follows Robert McQueen, an eccentric licensed therapist, who will live the most dramatic day of his life. This film won't leave your memory any time soon!

"Remember who loves you" are the words the protagonist leaves his home with that day. What is he hiding? A masterful use of flashbacks throughout Ademude's vision demonstrates his beautiful craft and not only reveals secrets but intensifies the suspense.

Robert McQueen has a happy family and a passion for his job but is still a disturbed man. Whether he is conscious of it or not, he is playing with fire...

The story focuses on one client - Lizzy Hanson, who is brilliantly portrayed by the talented actress Kathleen McClellan. Her character arch will leave you speechless!

Beautiful cinematography, mesmerizing soundtrack!

But is the audience ready for what is to come? No matter, Amedume displays beautiful directing, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

I enjoyed Rattlesnakes! It was an official selection in the Miami Film Festival of 2019 and the audience's reaction was practically palpable in the screening!

Rattlesnakes is a film that must be seen!

Karma plays a huge role, it is yet another character within the story. It is used in such an effective way that the viewer will play a role in the outcome of the tale. Where will the viewer's sympathy lie? One thing is absolutely certain: Rattlesnakes will glue you to the screen awaiting a finale that no one sees coming!

Storyline was reasonably well crafted, albeit very slow paced. And, the background music was somewhat overpowering. Not a movie I would watch again.

Randomly picked this movie to watch without knowing anything about it. This is a low budget straight to DVD movie. The storyline is suspenseful that keeps your attention and guessing who's actually the bad guy(s). I especially loved Kathleen McClellan , who played "Lizzy" . She was intense and unhinged without overplaying it, which could have easily ruined the scenes but she played it perfectly.

Just watch this movie for a difference that for not much famous names nor hearing this movie name on internet so far. I found that the movie is a little bit watchable with simple one liner story of a Therapist who is treating women with therapy to move away stress & problems from their lives. Three businessmen connected each other with some connections found that the therapist was cheating their wives and sleeping with them. Then they planned to capture him to finish. But actually drama starts here. What is the real truth? Who is therapist? For this you have to see the movie. There is a twist at the climax and end is predictable. (You can get early this prediction if you can pick link). Acting by McQueen (Jimmy Jean-Louis) is just okay, not perfect and others are only wasted. Overall acting department is totally empty only story line with suspense gripped you till end. Then you look for story you can enjoy it, but aware from its slowness too, though movie is not so long, but it is going very slow in its half and more part. Just a B grade movie with a better story line.

I was not expecting much going into this when i saw Jack Coleman from Dynasty was starring in this but I was pleasantly surprised as the film is quite short but it does well with what it had to work with on the budget so re-iterates you should never judge on appearances.

Jimmy Jean-Louis does steal the show though; he blows all the other actors out of the water; the BLM movement are always complaining about good black actors in movies and yet we have actors like Jimmy who deserve more roles yet they give them to zero talent wasters like John Boyega. Just goes to show there are a lot of good black actors out there but for some reason they insist on casting any old black actor just so that it can fulfill the "BLM quota" when we have immensely talented actors like Forrest Whittaker, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Cuba Gooding and many more.

It easily beats a lot of multi million pound so called thrillers that have come out this year and as we say in Scotland the "double twist in the tale" denoument was a very pleasant surprise and puts the cherry on top of the cake and elevates this above merely an average 5 stars for me to a 6/10.
