The Spiders' Man

I watched this movie today freshly released on Amazon Prime. I got attracted by its title mostly in this period that the Marvels' superhero is gonna hit the theatres here in US. Well, not bad, really. There are villains and there's a hero. But It's not the hero everyone is expecting. That's the forte of this film that I find worth watching. It's a two brothers comedy/thriller with a bit of drama very enjoyable and, at times, also quite funny. Its humor is subtle here and almost grotesque there, grotesque like many hilarious situations. This is a niche film that deserves attention. Good music, good acting (mostly the actor that portrays the schizophrenic brother) and very well directed. The production value is not huge (shot in few locations between Italy I could see - btw I love the Ferrari) but this is the proof you don't need much money to produce a decent film.

A good film hat deserves a wider audience. I watched it for free on TubiTv, I really enjoyed it. The ads running every 15/20 min are spoiling the flow of your watching experience, but it's the price you pay for not paying watching it. Back to the film, it's a Philippine-Italian production (but little has been filmed in Italy), rather low budget, but that has a pretty good story to tell. Funny at times, sarcastic sometimes it shows how a bunch of good actors in a few location can make a good film if directed by a good filmmaker.

Light but deep, funny but serious. I really enjoyed watching this. Good start with characters description scenes, it progresses unexpectedly and wraps up nicely. A good film.

It's a very original film with an interesting plot. Well crafted. One of the few critics I can move to this film is that it feels like the ending is 15 min before the actual ending. Not that the ending is not good but I feel it like a not so strong ending. It creates a little confusion: who is the lead? The schizophrenic brother? Or the smart and rich brother that closes the film? I would have given this film 9...

Good bricks building for this independent film that in the end forgets to finish the roof leaving a few holes on it. You'll get a little wet with a bit of dissatisfaction for some unresolved subplots. Yet the main theme resolves quite nicely with the sacrifice of one of the main characters provoking a big final change of heart of another main character. If change is one of the main thing that a film should have, this little film has it. The main plot is about the reunion of two brothers after the death of their father, a reunion that is spoiled by a ridiculous group of first time criminals that violates the two brothers' home. From that point is a spiral of surprises ranging from drama to comedy, from brutal to grotesque. With a good overall black comedy edge this film engages you and keeps you guessing.
