Man with No Past

Imagine a move that's a real certifiable steaming pile. Go it?. . .

Ok, now, imagine another movie that's also a real steaming pile. Go it?. . . . .

Okay. Now, imagine these two steaming piles get together and have a baby.

That's Man With No Past.

The reason I put "No Spoiler" as the title is because you can't 'spoil' this movie no matter how hard you try. It arrived already spoilt, you see.

It is so bad, anything you do to it would be an improvement. If you got all copies of it and burned them, that would be a huge improvement!

If you don't believe me, then see it yourself and find out.

You will not be surprised!!!

It has an intriguing storyline about reincarnation and time loops and the fights/action sequences were short but good.

It's not a blockbuster but not a terrible watch either, and I don't get what everybody else was so confused about. The movie flowed well and the flashbacks were very straightforward to me with no explanations were needed.

The biggest fault I could say is that all the characters except the 3 mains (Voigt, Woodward, and Csokas who steals the show) don't really have much to add overall, with the detective being the most unimportant and cut-able.

I'd be down for a sequel if one ever materializes, but I doubt it will.

This movie seems to be a collaboration of many movies and TV series in years gone by with cherry picked ideas that don't quite fit into a neatly packaged storyline. Yes, it's very well acted and presented but not very well written. I constantly felt the answers or clues were just around the corner in the next scene throughout this movie but they never came, and left me with a lot of questions over incidents and events. All in all it's a decent bit of entertainment with light voilence and a non-revealing romance, by today's standards. The way Adam Woodward carries himself in this movie it's clear this actor will be destined for greater things in times to come. Jon Voight and Charlotte Weston are amazing (as always) and Charlotte Vega is great in a supporting role. Well worth watching, even though the ending has been seen many times before and is very much predictable. The writers could have broadened their minds and done it differently to make this more than a 6/10 movie experience.

Is boring. It's boring because it is as chaotic as flash cards are at a 5th grade foreign language class. Indeed, it appears the director was just as bored; doing one disjointed scene after another just to get through his contract.

I pity the actors who signed on and then had to suffer the direction.

To that add the storyline is a pretty well used theme ( flip-flopping to and fro in a timeline.) The difference here is it flips and flops so frequently you forget where the base point is?

Character development has little "time," in the flip-flops to develop. And so, the viewer is left with their own devices to sort things out; which might be fun in a well written novel. But in a film that typically last less than 200 minutes a lot of artistry has to happen. It did not happen here. Instead it's a hod podge of unbelievable scenes knitted together and presented as "A Film." It is just that. But not a very good film.

The movie is an action movie but the storyline is quite a bit convoluted, dealing with the idea of repetition of lives and cosmic forces.

The quality of the movie overall is decent, nothing is amazing but nothing is bad either. Few of the actors are quite good, obviously Jon Voight and also Marton Csokas who needs to get more villain roles, he is great in them.

Action scenes are not bad but seem like the type of scenes that I've seen before elsewhere, with the camera near the action moving about and with the action changing from normal speed to slow motion to normal speed. It looks more of a comic book movie type action. It is done competently.

The violence isn't too graphic and there is a modest sex scene where nothing much is revealed.
