    HAROLD! WOW!

    I watched the movie with a group online and was very impressed with the guy playing Harold! I believed he could seriously be criminally insane!

    For the film as a whole, I liked the cinematography, which is what I do for a living, so I have a different approach to criticizing. The dialogue/storyline were easy to follow, although the beginning was slightly rushed, but still maintained the vibe of the plot.

    I do have to say I wasn't crazy about Eric Roberts in this. I think he was overshadowed by the guy playing Harold; or maybe that's what was meant to happen.

    I gave this a 10 STAR because I cheer for any disabled actor who can pull off difficult scenes. Yet again, the movie as a whole was good.

    Misplaced Anger

    The filming is beautiful. The scenes are nice, but I think they the music can be a little softer. Very good acting. I love the boldness of of the characters, especially Harper. I love the Hous of Luna. There was quite a lot of suspenseful. Moments acting was superb. I am I just feel that maybe they could've been a little softer so that you could've heard the speaking a bit better.

    Harold is brutal. I think he I think he's neurotic just imagine, holding that grudge for some thing that happened so long ago and just following up waiting for his day of revenge Unfortunately, the persons against whom he's acting now had nothing to do with the reason for his grief isn't that something?

    A Standout Performance Elevates 'Intent Unknown'

    While "Intent Unknown" may not be groundbreaking in terms of plot or emotional depth, it's Ricky Bartlett's performance that truly makes it a film worth watching. His portrayal is both believable and captivating, standing starkly in contrast to a backdrop where other performances sometimes falter. The movie struggles occasionally with the believability of its emotional arcs, making certain scenes challenging to engage with fully. Despite these moments, Bartlett's presence and skill provide a strong anchor, adding layers to his character that enrich the film significantly. For those appreciative of skilled acting, his performance alone might be a compelling reason to watch.

    Unexpected & Heart Pounding

    I went over to my sister's house recently and she had the movie already playing on her TV, about 5 minutes in I believe. I usually don't like watching movies or TV shows with her because we both talk through every film we watch together and we end up miss everything. Yet, by the end, we both noticed we NEVER SAID A WORD during the entire film! I remember we both gasped at certain scenes. We both looked away at other moments (the drill!). We both laughed and we both loved the ending. But, we NEVER SAID A WORD!

    Astonishing!

    Yes, we know this isn't a Marvel or major network movie but, for what it is, it was a good movie.

    Not good

    This is awful. It's unprofessional. It's like a home movie. It's very basic. It's just a terrible film. Save yourself 90mins and do literally anything else. I mean anything. You could sit in a dark room, alone, and you'd be more entertained. My wife chose this film and it's really impacted our relationship in a bad way it was so bad. I've decided to cancel my prime membership just to prevent the chance of me being exposed to anything like this again. I have no idea how this has 8.2/10. I've given it 1 and I'm being a bit overly generous with that. I'm starting to feel like I don't understand numbers anymore. I've not given you any spoilers and you could know the whole story and it's so bad it couldn't be spoiled. You'd still get to the end and feel robbed. Awful.

    • Trivia
      While the director was doing a photo shoot with Lucy (Harper) for the Due Facce scarf line, he stepped into Corks and Barrels, the same location featured in the film and had a brief interaction with Breanna (Luna). Weeks later the director brought Beth Deacon to meet her as a potential person to play Luna. She had zero experience in acting at the time. It was important to both the director and writer to provide opportunities to new faces. It was her confident personality that won them over.
