BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
sonburnt77 Wow, this movie was really great. I came in expecting a fun violent romp (which I received) but it was so much more than that. I really felt for all the characters and they all had wonderful story arcs. Great use of parallel story telling too! A true gem!
billcr12 The makers of Lowlife have obviously seen Reservoir Dogs. The non linear style and over the top violence are the similarities. What is missing here is Tarantino's genius. The main character is a Mexican wrestler in a Zorro mask. He has the funniest lines and they are in Spanish. The problem is the confused story line. The acting is competent but overall , Lowlife is a miss.
Mart Sander Having seen this film at the WhatTheFest? in NY in April, I would like to warn the potential spectator not to fall into the trap of sales pitch, marketing this film as an organ harvesting horror flick, a drug-filled roller-coaster ride or something along these lines. This is a serious, solid, multifaceted drama that Chekhov would be proud to sign with his name. Indeed, not a film for everyone, because of it's unorthodox style and bizarre, yet logical, structure. An absolutely stellar cast gives an electrified performance; cinematography is fresh and innovative and the direction shows signs of ingenious insight into our psyche. The film - part grotesque black comedy, part melodrama - is a story of very different individuals, who overcome every kind of social/racial barriers and unite, when threatened by universal evil. It gives us hope and credit as human race, and that's what great film-making is all about.
procletnic This is one of those 1 star movies you'll regret giving a chance to. I got fooled by the reviews, which are obviously written by paid shills. Don't make my mistake and avoid this movie like the plague. Talking about directing and cinematography doesn't make any sense when you have a script as atrocious as this one. I'll be honest here, I normally watch movies until the end, even if they are bad but by God, this thing was so incredibly stupid that I couldn't make it until the end. Make yourself a favor and skip this one.
