    Breen has hit his stride, but takes on too much for one filmmaker

    In short: A wealthy benefactor funds a hospital to study genome editing that is plagued by black-market medicine theft and poor maintenance.

    Neil Breen makes many decisions in this film that, if they were part of a more complete and coherent vision, would be bold and truly represent ambitious B-movie filmmaking.

    Aesthetically: The entire movie is shot in green screen, over stock photos. Establishing shots are also stock footage. This is really exciting to me; it represents a really interesting way to do a film on a budget and nobody else would dare to do a film that way.

    Narratively: The first 20 minutes of this movie has a lot going on, and it honestly made me wonder if Breen had learned from his previous films. He's certainly learned a few editing tricks. But as the film continues, it's clear that Breen still hasn't figured out how to write a plot with a beginning, middle, and end; scenes happen in seemingly random order and repeat information.

    And as usual for Breen, characters speak vaguely without specific details or characterization. This is especially frustrating because it feels like this film, of all his post-Fateful Findings films, really has a clear and interesting premise.

    Ultimately I came out of this film really wanting to see Breen direct another writer's work, or another writer direct a Breen screenplay. Both the central narrative idea and the directorial style have interesting things to say, but they both need some external contribution to really make them click.

    Why can't I rate it higher than 10?

    I didn't think there would ever be a movie to top the.1997.seminal masterpiece Booty Call with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Davidson, but it has finally happened.

    This movie has everything. Giant chairs, 3 second looped fighting clips, dialogue, and even acting. What more could you want?

    I can't imagine how long Neil spent doing location scouting on shutterstock, but it was certainly worth the time. The scenery is amazing. I've never seen JPEGs seem so alive!

    The script is so complex. I didn't have any idea what was going on, but that's just because I'm a moron compared to the Breenius that wrote it.

    it broke new ground

    It's not every day I write a review.

    "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" is a film that defies easy categorization. It is a work of bold, uncompromising vision, and one that will challenge and provoke audiences in equal measure. Director and lead actor Neil Breen has crafted a film that is both deeply personal and yet speaks to universal truths about the human condition.

    Breen's performance as Cade is nothing short of extraordinary. He brings a raw intensity and vulnerability to the role, capturing every emotion with a depth and nuance that is truly remarkable. His direction is equally impressive, as he creates a cinematic world that is at once beautiful and haunting, with a sense of mystery and danger lurking around every corner.

    But what truly sets "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" apart is its willingness to grapple with difficult, complex themes. The film tackles issues of identity, trauma, and the nature of reality itself in a way that is both thought-provoking and deeply moving. It is a film that demands your attention and rewards it in spades.

    The supporting cast is equally impressive, with standout performances from Sarah Parker as Cade's love interest and Jack Thompson as his mentor. The film's score is haunting and beautiful, perfectly complementing the visuals and performances to create a truly immersive experience.

    In the end, "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" is a film that will stay with you long after the credits have rolled. It is a testament to the power of independent cinema, and a reminder of why we go to the movies in the first place. With its stunning visuals, powerhouse performances, and fearless storytelling, this is a film that deserves a perfect score of 10 out of 10 stars. Don't miss it.

    Neil Breen's gradual rise as a director

    "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" is yet another masterpiece by the talented director Neil Breen. This movie tells the story of a superhuman hacker named Cade who recruits a mental asylum to help him with a world revolution. The film's plot is compelling and original, and it keeps the audience on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

    The action scenes in "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" are simply outstanding. Breen has clearly improved his skills in this area since his last film, and the result is breathtaking. The fights are intense and thrilling, with special effects that are both realistic and awe-inspiring.

    But what really sets this movie apart is the character development of Cade. Breen has done an amazing job of creating a complex and multidimensional protagonist who audiences can't help but root for. In contrast to his earlier movies, where the main characters were often one-dimensional and hard to connect with, Cade is a fully fleshed-out character with a rich backstory and relatable struggles.

    Overall, "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" is a must-see for fans of Neil Breen and anyone who enjoys thought-provoking action movies. Breen's latest film is a tour de force of storytelling, action, and character development that will leave audiences wanting more.

    This Man Needs to be Stop. Please.

    Ok, where do I start.

    To begin with, the lack of talent of this monumentally delusional fella is unparalleled. People might say 'The Room' is the worst movie ever, and it probably is, though I do beg to differ. In my humble opinion that would be the case had not Neil Breen ever existed. Sadly though, he did.

    I have seen all of his so-called movies. They all are undeniably horrible; non existing writing & cinematography, delusional characters, Mr Breen himself that can only do good even when he's on various killing sprees, wooden acting (especially on his part,) lack of facial expressions (times-two on his part), the list goes on.

    And, after having carefully 'considered' his pedigree, I must say that 'Cade: The tortured Crossing' reaches - by a long shot - the peak of senile stupidity.

    Neil Green is a strange animal, even stranger than the white are-you-kidding-me-what-is-this-CGI tiger present in this mega turkey. I mean, each movie he makes, things get worst. He seems not to be able to understand anything on moviemaking, wrapped in his (I'd guess) heavily self medicated self delusion.

    I cannot get past the childish attitude this untalented fella projects on the screen. I cannot get past the moment he saw a... "Hey, look! A green screen! OMG now I can make a whole movie disregarding (even more than before) perspective, storytelling, acting. I gotta run though, gotta use as many pictures as possible from my ShutterStock free trial.

    A Romanian Castle? Perfect!

    A dilapidated building? Right on!

    The Austrian Alps? Fantastic!

    Whatever? Even better!

    Who cares!! Now I will be able to do any nonsensical no-sense anytime I want. Tell you what, from now on call me Neil Green." Ok, all jokes aside he clearly must have some kind of issues, and I am saying that because no functioning person can misuse a brain the way he does.

    I need to add something else. I have never reviewed any of his stuff, this time I had to. Especially after having noticed the scam he's pulling off here on the IMDB database. The scores this master-crap is receiving (10s after 10s) reflect a troubling state of affairs. Clearly, the desire to inflate ratings means that among this man's numerous negative qualities a new one, perhaps the worst, is emerging: deception.

    Enough now. Let's just end it by saying I wouldn't wish my worst enemy watching this pile of crap.

    Please Neil Breen, please stop this insanity. Yes, you have a Ferrari, and yes you are and forever will be the good one, we got it. We finally did. So now your work's done. Please, disappear. Please.

      When the mental patients are "trapped" in the SUV, it's clearly visible that the car windows are down and that the patients are just miming as if they are up.
