Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

The_Limey There is much that 'Pendulum' gets wrong, its Texas location, featuring not one actor with even a trace of a Texas accent. A non-actor as the lead etcHowever its biggest flaw is the fact it is so obviously trying to be a 'tough smart woman manages to outsmart the odds in a male dominated environment' type movie, however the ending totally destroys this, and I am fairly sure the writers didn't even understand they were doing so, so desperate where they to accomplish a complex Noir ending.*SPOILER*What she does is throw away the evidence because the killer is an ex-boyfriend. This makes her weak. The ex-boyfriend was not even the killer anyway, he was protecting the killer. Therefore she is stupid. So your tough female cop is, in the final analysis, weak and stupid.*END SPOILER*Really not worth the effort of watching, it isn't even bad enough to be fun, and the sound track is really annoying...

teuthis Pendulum is my favorite Rachel Hunter film. It is stylish and suspenseful, and kept me guessing all the way through the first time I saw it. Rachel Hunter seems to really find herself in her role as a troubled but determined detective, working a homicide that produces many twists and surprises. She brings a dark, brooding quality to her role that binds the rather wandering plot. Things got a little slow once in a while, but Rachel's style and charisma kept me interested. This is really an unpretentious but effective cop mystery with an intriguing cast of characters to enjoy. I think any fan of the genre, or Rachel Hunter will thoroughly enjoy this film. I see no need to reveal any of the plot at all. I recommend you just sit back and let it all develop for you.

niibu_yaa It is amazing how Hollywood keeps pushing the envelope on making unwatchable movies. Every time I think I've come to a new low in film making, something comes along and proves me wrong. That is the case with this movie. As many have mentioned the writting is truly bad. Couple that with less than believable performances from the cast, and we are left with a movie without a leg to stand on. The lead in the movie , who I've not seen before, seemed out of place with her poorly done "American" accent. I later found that she was from New Zealand which could be an excuse. However, I don't feel there is an excuse for poor acting. There are many English or foreign actors that can pull off the "American" accent without problem, she is certainly not one of them. To compound all these factors, they were attempting to make a film noir type movie. Something that was so poorly done, it's almost not noticeable. Later in an attempt to save the movie they add some purportless nudity. At this point I think they should have just gone ahead and made it into a porn flick, as the writting was about that level. I give this movie 1 star out of ten.....only because I can't give it a lower rating on this system.

ganthc Not having high expectations for a film I never saw or heard of in theaters, I was surprised at how entertaining this film was. True, there is some wooden acting by some of the actors, and Rachel Hunter's accent seems out of place in Texas, but the performances were by and large very good. What was more interesting was the story with enough twists to keep you guessing. Though I eventually figured some of it out in the end, it wasn't extremely predictable. You can kind of rule out some individuals, but others cast suspicion on themselves that it mixes things up. It is worth the rent.
