Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

jeffans If you like movies about revenge, then this is THE movie for you. James Legros plays Peter Grey, a famous successful reality chef whose career is destroyed by Franks, an online restaurant critic. Grey captures Franks and sort of makes him see what its like to be a chef and have every little thing get criticized only with severe punishment. The ending was fairly predictable. I highly recommend watching this and no, I am in no way affiliated with the production or making of this movie or any of its cast. I liked the cast and didn't care that it was a low budget movie. Certainly the best "revenge" movie I can think of. Similar in some ways to "misery".

pahaake First, I am a huge fan on Kitchen Nightmares, Hell's Kitchen, etc. I also consider myself quite the food snob. I love to cook, but would never, ever, consider doing it as a career.All of that said, this movie is extremely clever. Not terribly original from a revenge and torture perspective, but I love the "challenges".The low budget nature of the film makes it unlikely to ever get a major viewing; however, anyone that is a fan of food and Gordon Ramsey will truly enjoy this film.Final thought, for a cost conscious film, the acting is actually quite good.

Paul Andrews Bitter Feast starts as Peter Grey (James LeGros) the head chef at an up market restaurant called Feast is fired by his partner because of venomous & scathing internet reviews by influential food critic JT Franks (Joshua Leonard), soon after Grey's television cooking series is cancelled by TV bosses who are alarmed at the ratings slide. With his career & reputation in tatters Grey has also suffered great personal tragedy after having lost his son to cancer, having gone past breaking point Grey decides to take revenge on Franks. Grey kidnaps Franks & imprisons him in his country home far from the city & any means of help for Franks who is at Grey's mercy, Grey sets Franks various task's & if he fails the task he is punished. From frying the perfect egg to cooking the perfect steak, Grey taunts & tortures Franks but he has been missed & people are looking for him & Grey soon becomes the prime suspect...Written & directed by Joe Maggio I have to say right away that Bitter Feast is the worst film I have seen in quite some time, I must admit that I have been taking a bit of a break from watching & commenting on so many films & Bitter Feast is a prime example of why I have lost a little bit of love with the genre lately. All I want from a film is for it to entertain me, to have some fun with it, for it to succeed at what it sets out to achieve & come away from it feeling good. Unlike when I watch a film like Bitter Feast which bores me to death, annoys me & has me constantly looking at the counter on my DVD player as I literally count down the seconds until it's finished. I hated Bitter Feast. Plain & simple. The script features nothing but unlikable character's, from the chef Grey to the critic Franks I just hoped everyone would die as soon as possible & put us all out of our misery, Grey has no plan or reason behind what he is doing as far as I could tell. Sure there's the revenge angle but if that's all he wanted why not just kill Franks & be done with it? Why the pointless games? Why make him try to fry an egg & then slap his face when he fails? The film never builds up to anything either, there'#s no great ending or anything & it just sort of fizzles out after a predictable chase & fight. Bitter Feast could have been a lot of fun with a snobbish critic getting his comeuppance in a grisly & fitting way as witnessed in the excellent Theater of Blood (1973) but it takes itself so seriously, is so drawn out & dull & uneventful that I found it really hard to get to the end, I did make it to the end but it more a test of endurance than a fun & entertaining way to pass 100 odd minutes.Reasonably well made there's nothing wrong with the way Bitter Feast looks but it's pretty forgettable, there's not much tension or any scares as such. Forget about any gore as there isn't any really, a knife is stuck into someone's hand & a couple of people have blood spurting neck wounds but otherwise this is really tame.Probably shot on a really low budget this was filmed in New York. The acting is alright but many of the performance's are far too one dimensional & flat. I can't say i cared about anyone or anyone creeped me out or made me laugh or anything really.Bitter Feast is a film that I really disliked & it's films just like Bitter Feast why I just don't watch as many low budget horrors as I used to, I just find them an annoying & frustrating & boring waste of time. Bitter Feast is a film I happily will never have to watch again & be thankful for it.

winickj I have seen one of Joe Maggio's previous films, Virgil Bliss, and his style of story telling appealed to be then as it does now.Hollywood spends millions, yet Mr. Maggio can put a film together for $6,000 apparently. Wonder what they really spend the money on.James LeGros is excellent, supported by a strong script and a good story. I liked this from the beginning until almost the end (don't want to spoil it).Lots of interesting dialog and James LeGros' cool intensity won me over.I don't like a lot of movies, but I certainly like this one.
