I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Why so much hype?
How sad is this?
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Sometimes a bad film is all you need for a good laugh, The Room is the obvious first choice for this category... Fateful Findings is not. It's just painful to watch, and follows no pattern with a heap of untalented goons that can't act, direct or engage anybody.It shares some similarities with The Room, namely in that Breen like Wiseau is a blatant narcissist that considers himself something of a revolutionary, compounded by the fact that he constantly puts himself in roles where he is either the hero of the day, the moral arbiter or the heartthrob for attractive women. An egotists delight... the difference between him and Wiseau is that he's not fun to observe. Not even a little.This review could be easily 15,000 words, there is no limit on describing the failings of this film. I'm just surprised that Breen could possibly produce anything worse than the preceding 'Here I Am... Now'... but that's another story. I suppose that is to be congratulated, that someone could actually exceed their previous train wreck.If you are a curious bad movie hunter, then by all means go for it. But don't expect to laugh the way you do at The Room, this one is just painstakingly awkward and you'll see why it doesn't quite live up to a 'so bad its good' cult classic.
A lot of movies are bad, some movies are good, and a handful of movies are so bad that they are great. Then, there are those movies – those very, very few – that transcend any established ideas of "good" or "bad" and find themselves a special place in the world of cinema. For years, movies like The Room and Rocky Horror Picture Show have been loved by thousands around the world, not for their merits as works of art but for something different from and far better than what could have been intended by their creators. New cult hits come about once or twice a decade, and while it is still relatively new, Fateful Findings has quickly proved itself among the greats.The movie follows Dylan (Neil Breen), a man gifted with magical powers by a magical rock he found as a child. He works as an author but is secretly hacking into government and corporate computer networks in order to expose their corruption to the world. As he dives further into his work and his life becomes stranger and more dangerous, he must find the strength to finish his work.I love this movie so much.Like many other cult hits, Fateful Findings is a film that is uniquely its own. It is ostensibly a psychological thriller, with clear inspiration from David Lynch and others, but it fails to deliver a genuine thrill. Instead, it delivers comedy, a little bit of boredom, and a whole lot of weirdness. Characters in Fateful Findings tend to repeat their lines and to repeat them, and everything is a bit too stilted for us to treat them as real people. Breen himself works at a desk with no fewer than three powered-off laptops that he abuses regularly by throwing books at them or swiping them onto the floor.This film is all over the place in terms of its plot, characters, and themes. For example, I never knew that I could laugh so much at a scene of murder, but Breen's deadpan delivery of "I can't believe you committed suicide. I cannot believe you committed suicide. How could you have done this? How could you have committed suicide?" is absolutely hilarious. The film's finale, which features a self- proclaimed human insurance company and the President of The Bank, is one of my absolute favorites of any movie and for all the wrong reasons.Much of what makes this film such a pleasure to watch is the earnestness with which it was made. Neil Breen works professionally as an architect but makes movies in his spare time and does so simply because he wants to. I personally can't find much enjoyment in intentionally bad movies, as there's a certain cynicism behind movies like Sharknado or Samurai Cop II that I can't get behind. "So bad it's good" is a profitable section of the industry, and any schmuck can spend a few thousand dollars and very little effort on a film that ends up potentially making them millions.With Fateful Findings, we instead have a man with a vision. Neil Breen hates corrupt governments and corporations, and by gum he's gonna make movies about them. This one acts as a sort of wish- fulfillment for Breen in that he stops these powerful entities by exposing their wrong-doings to the world. Publicly sharing his evidence – or in his words, "the files and supporting documents and supporting truths: the factual documents" – allows him to bring them down and save us all.I can't recommend this movie to everyone, as plenty of people will understandably see it as simply a bad movie. For those of you who enjoy cult films, though, I can't recommend it highly enough. You will laugh, you might cry, and you will never forget Fateful Findings.
I haven't written a movie review in a while, but I had to log in to register my pleasure at the discovery of this magical movie. Like a piece of miracle dropped from heaven, it has such purity and innocence that is out of this world. Like a child playing in a bubble bath, a dandelion swaying in the wind, or a dog licking its own balls, this movie reveals to the world just how corrupted the movie business has become with its exaggerated love for "talent" and "skill" and "acting."A love letter to the lovesick, an orgasm without erection, there is something magical about Neil Breen's touch. So, bend over, close your eyes, and take it. You'll learn to love it.
This film is so hilariously awful. This is the perfect movie to watch with drunk friends. The insanity this film has is just hilarious. Then there's things that don't make any sense. Like when the girl writes in her diary "It's a magical day" and that's like the only entry in it. And then like 30 years later in the movie's time, the same diary pops out of her pocket. The acting in this film is awful with the main actor, Neil Breen (who is also the writer AND director) being particularly bad as well as this guy who's supposed to be an alcoholic but never acts drunk. There's a scene in a garage (no spoilers cause you need to see this for yourself) where the acting is so bad that I actually had the pause the film and calm down because the acting is atrocious. I give this film an A+ but only as a joke because it's so hilariously abysmal (like the Room). Just watch it.
