Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
Sameeha Pugh It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
stamper I really didn't expect much of Dead Man's Curve at first but I became immediately thrilled once I started watching it. The performances (especially Matthew Lillard) were great and I just dig it when a bad guy thrives as much as Lillard did in this movie. The bigger part of the film was pretty good and would have easily been rewarded with a 7 or maybe even a 7,5 but in the end it just didn't get away with it. In the end Dead Man's Curve just becomes one of those thrillers that wants to be too smart and too original / surprising, resulting in a very annoying and unbelievable ending. It would be rightful to say that by introducing twist after twist after twist the filmmaker succeeded in breaking the movie's neck. Since the ending for me was a big fat 3 out of 10 I find it very hard to make a recommendation regarding this film. 6 out of 10
Roland Rat The plot is based on the Urban Myth that the roommates of college student that commits suicide automatically get given straight A's to ameliorate the trauma of the incident. So two students get together to murder their roommate and pass it off as a suicide just so that they can claim their top grades.This film was billed on my TV station as a black comedy; and given the basic plot there was a lot of potential for some good dark humor. Sadly the film was lacking in nearly all departments - there's no humor to speak of, the plot is made uninteresting, and the acting is forgettable.The main characters are intensely irritating (esp. Matthew Lillard), and the movie constantly grates. As for the ending, I didn't quite manage get that far so sadly I must have missed the "complex twisting plot". All in all this movie managed to hit nearly all the wrong notes with me; it's too much of a teen movie for my liking, and too much of a psychological thriller, and really not nearly enough of the black comedy.
DJAkin This was an ok movie. It was over the top. This movie was fun to watch in the sense that some of the acting was decent. I didn't like it when Mathew Lillard tries to act so mean toward his best friend! I mean, why would he do that!! Also, the girls in this movie was horrible actresses. I liked that one stupid cop that almost wanted to fight THAT ONE DUDE CHRIS. I thought that he was a horrid cop. Then there is that BLACK COP who smoked cigarettes IN THE DORM ROOM while INTERROGATING!!!???? Anyway,,,,this was a so so movie and worth watching ONLY if you have NOTHING ELSE TO DO!!!!
bubbles_827 This film was written well and had a twisting plot. Matthew Lillard was absolutely adorable as the jerk! For a film with a warmed-over premise, I think it was done very well. I would watch it a second time and would recommend.
