I wouldn't go that far to say that Limbo is a gem like somebody else wrote, but the story itself isn't bad. It's a bit different, not one of those déjà vu movies in the horror genre. Well horror is a big word, because that's not really the case for Limbo. Everything happens in hell, or just before hell, and there are some demons, but it's all more dramatic than scary. The acting is not award winning but not bad either. Limbo is a bit different from all the rest, but I'm glad I watched it.

It's a obvious lower budget, as I believe the whole film takes place in one room. There is not action or horror...it's all dialogue...but it seems to work. It's something that would work well as a written short story. It's basically Heaven & Hell debating a mans soul. And yeah, that's about all it is... I get it, sounds kind of boring... & if you're not in the right mood? It will be. However, if you go into it with an open mid, you'll actually enjoy it.

Would have given this a 6/10 but the actors here were under-performing in their roles, the storyline was good and the only actor who was worthy of praise was the STENOGRAPHER, also, plus 1 for his jokes. specially in the end, LOL

overall, it's a boring movie, could have been much better with greater actors IMHO.

Acting was quite alright considering the script! Who wrote this piece of S-t? A highschool Sophomore?

This was a fairly enjoyable film. The characters were well developed and the actors made them believable. The plot was interesting enough that I wanted to know more and to see what would finally happen. The concept was simple but it worked well because of some very creative writing with just enough humor and a mix of drama to keep things moving at a good pace. The setting and effects added to the intrigue and mystery of what was going to happen next moments. Someone mentioned 'Man from Earth' and I would totally agree. You'll be pleasantly surprised as I rated this a 7, a fair movie.

As one viewer mentioned, it's like a play and fans of Man From Earth will like it. (Awesome movie that one btw, give it a go) Story that keeps you waiting to see what comes next, mediocre acting (I suppose no one expected Oscar level perfomances here), good pacing and a very pretty attorney. Overall an interesing movie that I was very sceptical of and ready to turn it off, but never got to. Recommended.

P.S. IMDB should change the horror tag for the fantasy one. Nothing scary here don't worry. :)

This was a very different kind of movie.Then at the end, it becomes very different than you thought it was. Was it a great movie, with fantastic acting? Meh, it shines in some spots throughout. Was it a great story/premise? Hell yes. If you enjoy something like The Man From Earth, you will most likely enjoy this.

It had so much potential, but it got so boring and boring, the characters lacked charisma, the stories were not very touching, everything was almost nothing ... Regular to bad ...

A strange movie which the prosecutor tries to send a killer to hell while the defence attorney tries to save the killer's soul by sending him to heaven. The murderer story is brought to light by flashbacks and it is quite funny because other deceased people are called to give their statement as witnesses. Not much violence or sex here, I like ninety minute movies, specially those who have a good plot. A plot twist by the end is well placed. But I suppose that hardcore movie fans will not be surprised by this so-called plot twist. It is a horror and comedy movie, but it is not so funny or scary. However good performance made me feel like if I was in a theatre.

This is quite the gem. It shows that even with a shoestring budge of a little bit of dry ice, cheap wearable plastic horns, red lights, and aluminum tubing, that if the story is powerful enough, that is all that is additionally needed to carry it to completion.

Not to give away the story but imagine yourself appearing in a room, both with a prosecutor and defense attorney. The crime ? Your life. The reward ? heaven.

What makes this film especially interesting is the dialogue and actors. The wording is so very carefully chosen to hook at once the viewer. God and the devil are referred to so familiarly as to the "Old Man" and "Brother."

Has a twist ending too. Must watch, and has re-watch value at that.

Zero sex scenes though and zero nudity. A few might've driven the stake all the way to me at least up to 10-stars, but I was not at all disappointed by what I did see and will definitely want to see again later.

Well played. We can see that's made on a budget. The ending made me think if it is worth it... maybe yes, maybe no. At least I had a good time, it wasn't wasted. Could be better? Sure.

This was a very enjoyable film. I didn't know what to expect, but as it began to unfold, I found myself getting quite engaged in the character development. The performances were all strong, save a few moments where Colliard maybe seemed a bit out of his comfort zone and tired. But big props to the cast. Lew Temple plays his part extremely well. There are comedic moments, and dark moments. Each time I thought I had the story figured out, another turn would occur. The end did surprise me, which is quite hard to do these days.

It is a low budget film, so if you can overlook a lack of big budget sets, and enjoy this movie as the character study it is, you might find this to be a movie you remember for a while.

One is never quite sure what the outcome of this afterlife court will be. Will it be Heaven or Hell? There are comedic moments mostly provided by Phil the choreographer. But be under no illusion this is a high-stakes game. The prosecutor is sure of winning the case (for Hell) and it would seem the rookie council for the defence has a weak case to save her client. One of the questions was 'why' was the hearing taking place at all. Was there something about the client that merited his redemption. In the end there was a twist to the tale which I found a little underwhelming (I knocked off a star for that) but it was a captivating journey. Played with a top-notch cast. Among them is Character actor Richard Reihle who plays Phil and A-list star James Purefoy (well known in the UK at least) who turns up in the later part of the film.

This is actually a really cool movie. I have no idea why the low rating.

Average movie i would say. Very chill and low profile but entertaining. Doesnt really leave a mark after it ends but a very ambitious effort.

Lastly one thing. GOSH THE ENDING IS SOOO UNDERWHELMING, soo soo soooooo underwhelming

With only a sentence to go on on Tubi TV, the premise of this movie had my attention. But this is Tubi, so I didn't expect much. Perhaps that's why I enjoyed it so much! It's an interesting tale from start to finish. I didn't know what to expect, I didn't know what the rules were, it was all just fun for me. And although this obviously is religious in nature, it's not one of those shows that beat you over the head with it. I believe the intention is merely to entertain, and I do applaud everyone who worked on this for succeeding in that regard. There is some language and gore but given the subject matter I guess that would be expected. Sorry I don't want to say more because I don't want to spoil anything. Go check it out! It's neat.
