A Better Place

When God allowed man to create technology, specifically visual media, I am under the firm belief that he did not foresee the future and realize that a group of people with apparently a lot of resources to waste would come together and create this "disasterpiece" of a cinematic trainwreck titled "A Better Place". Would I have chosen this to watch if more options were available? No. But unfortunately for me, I chose to wake up and start my day by taking a chance on watching a movie that was unheard of and unknown to me in any way. I wish God would have had mercy on my soul. First off the lead role is acted out by this idiot we're supposed to take seriously as an adult who was sheltered and locked away by his mother to protect him. However, the acting is soooooo bad that we find the lead character's personality similar to Todd Cleary, who is the confused, withdrawn and possibly gay son of the Senator in the movie Wedding Crashers (2005). I'm not going to give away any spoilers but just remember what I told you about the amount of time you've wasted away from your life the moment you get to the part in the movie where the bright golden spotlight shines on the lead character and the special effects start dancing on your screen. You have been warned. Look, if you're dead set on committing Movie Suicide believe me there are wayy lest painful ways to do so. Consider jumping off of a high building, landing head first onto a crowded downtown street and almost instantly being pummeled by multiple cabs and Uber drivers who didn't notice your pancake shaped torso awkwardly blending in with the rest of the trash and discoloration on the street. I promise you that would be less painful. As for this movie. This is not a movie. This is the perfect way to kill your enemy and get away with it. So buy as many copies as you need and get to mailing them out. Your life will be better 2 hours after they receive it. #justbobbysopinion

Creepy creepy creepy. Couldn't even finish it. Lead had me crawling out of my skin and not because he's a good actor but because he is a CREEP.

I wanted to like this film and a tolerated the fact that it was underfunded and that with the exception of the two leads most of the characters were poorly-acted cartoon villains, but just as it looked like it was going to go somewhere it ducked into a building and ended stupidly, in a way that didn't make any sense at all. Then to underscore how badly the ending failed, they tacked on another ending, apparently made when one of the leads was unavailable for reshoots. And the second ending didn't make any more sense or answer any of the questions left by the first ending, so all in all a disappointment of a film.

I really don't know why so many people dislike this movie. It was perfectly acted and the actors where great for their roles. This movie exploits all bad behavior people do on basic and some more. The corruption and the things that we are willing to sacrifice to help others who don't deserve it for better off all. This movie even if its a wishful dream, is done nicely and touch u deep inside. I recommend to people who have at least some good in them to watch this. Its B movie, but a good one. Low budget used spot on.

So apparently I'm one of few that actually like this movie....

I don't find that odd as I'm normally the only one I know who like certain movies....

While I would consider this a B movie, I wouldn't see how this is a horrible movie. I'm sure it could have been done slightly better.... however....

I'm sure we can all relate to at least one character personally and know quite a few of the other characters in their circle....

This is the type of story that can happen in any town in any country.... while the "superpower" or "gift" of Jeremy's may not be for real, the message behind it is real.... What you do to the least of people you do to the most loved of people....

Everyone places value on relationships at different levels.... Your mom may be the best relationship you ever have.... your spouse may be the 2nd.... a bully negative value.... but what about the people you don't interact with on a regular basis but see or notice.... like the homeless man or the drug addict.... most people think they can get away with treating them badly because who cares about them? they are just trash.... In this town that was Jeremy.... and if you are willing to physically hurt someone because of a perception, then you are probably hurting the person closest to you just as bad but in a different way....

When movies aren't BLOCKBUSTERS they have to be appreciated in a different way....

If I could have his "gift" I would probably understand why at times I feel I'm mistreated.... the majority of the time it is misguided emotion....
