Simply A Masterpiece

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is a very well-done thriller, that got a lower rating than I think it deserves. Fine plot, good acting and great cinematography (minus the strange intro), all contribute to a great film. Just ignore the mediocre ratings, and rent this one. I was surprised at how fine a film this was. You'll be surprised too!

Saw this on a pirated 50 rupees DVD. A very good thriller. Period. I saw the trailer on you tube while going thru horror movie trailers. I added it to my watchlist in my diary after knowing that Mark Dunstan (The collector 1 n 2) is the director n Josh Stewart is the lead actor. I m a big fan of these two. The movie is a lil slow in the beginning but the end result is very satisfying. One may say it's predictable but it is a straightforward basic thriller without the clichés found in most of the movies. No wasting time in chatting or dialogues, straight killing. "Ugly" from The Good, the bad n the ugly wud have been proud" for his no talk n shoot first. One more surprising thing in this movie was that the females were not shown as weak n stupid. Majority of the horror/thrillers got this stupid scene where after bashing the bad guy with jus one hit, the person starts chatting with the "tied up person" n instead of making sure that the bad guy is dead....... Glad that this movie doesn't hav that sorta stupid thing. The movie does hav lots of tension, suspense n brutal killings but no torture. Josh Stewart acted well. The guy is very likable inspite of his "dirty jobs". Very good direction by Dunstan. One of the best part was the background music. One may find it a lil similar to The Collector for its cat n mouse game, minus the traps. Good shot gun scenes. Good cinematography. Good editing. I hope they show more about the dirty job of the lead characters in the sequel.

This film is about nothing, it's slow, it's atmospheric but it takes forever to film a wall....there's no story, the dialogue is abysmal, the acting laughable...the machismo is both abysmal and laughable. Please stop giving us just terrible quality....movies these days have gone down the toilet...they're worthless. I spent like an hour on this snoozefest for children...l mean it's not for children but the maturity level is such....just saddening. What is wrong with Hollywood these days? Is it piracy? Do they only get a million instead of many millions? Is there not enough millions? Can they only buy like one yacht? Is that it? Is it not enough? Seriously...

I'm a big fan of Marcus Dunstan. I'll never forget being in a hotel room late one night when a movie I'd never heard of called 'The Collector' came on, and I thought I'd give it a look. What followed were 90 of the most intense minutes I can remember seeing on film. While I still enjoyed 'The Neighbor', I can admit it didn't quite live up to those high standards. It's a fun premise, but instead of being tense from whoa to go, it has long sequences that are actually rather dull and hard to focus during. Those are really the only parts that let it down though, because the rest is excellent.Josh Stewart fills the lead role again. I think he's an under-appreciated actor. He brings a tremendous intensity to a movie and manages to be likable, even when playing a crook (although often a crook who is the lesser of two evils). The main villain isn't quite as memorable as 'The Collector', hence the more toned down film title of 'The Neighbor'. I suspect that is what Dunstan was going for though. A more grounded and realistic story, while still keeping all the suspense of his previous films. He almost pulls it off to perfection and with some simple editing tweaks this could have been something very special. Alas it will have to settle for being an above average thriller.
