This movie has had me in a chokehold since I was 9 when it came out in 2006. My sisters, mom and I would gather around the tv every year going through the tv guide to figure out when this movie was scheduled to play. We watched it nearly every year and a few years ago we purchased a digital copy on Amazon. Yes it's cheesy, yes it's fast paced. But it is a wonderful story of how much a young man works to step up in his role of fatherhood and make sure his son is cared for and loved. It's not a romance, but it is a love story. A love between a father and his son, and the family he's working to give his son. You don't see stories like this. I highly recommend.
I went into this movie thinking it would be funny and different take on the genre. I gotta say - wow. The way things flipped towards the end for the viewers was masterful and startling. I sincerely felt empathy for the Reynold's character while also mixed with 'wtf he needs help and to be locked up'
It wasn't a fun ride, it was a startling one. The story got flipped like a switch. While it's been four years since I watched this movie, I still think about it occasionally and am filled with nausea. This movie has haunted me more then any horror movie I've watched. I finished feeling remorse and shame that I felt bad for Reynold's character and disgust and horror at the reality of what the character did.
The best I could compare this movie to was if you binged the Dexter series and watched the last couple of episodes of Dexter: New Blood immediately after.
I was talking to my mother (who hasn't seen this movie) about Voices since I was thinking about it again after watching Black Bird mini series. I told her, "I was expecting it to be a lot funnier with the cast it had. Maybe the cast didn't know how it would progress in the ending when they signed on."
My mom replied with, "Or maybe they did. It's making fun of the genre everyone is obsessed with. Shows our obsession then the sheer reality of what it truly is."
So yeah. I wouldn't watch this movie if you are prone to bad dreams. 6 stars cause Voices has stuck in my head a lot more then any other films lately. I'm withholding the remaining 4 stars cause I still feel it in my chest thinking about this movie.
Overall, truly unforgettable and masterful storytelling. Did not see the ending coming.
