Moviecut—Let Me Make You a Martyr

source: Let Me Make You a Martyr

If you can make It to the last 20 Minutes without blowing your brains out, It gets good. If you love watching junkies shoot up, you'll love this! No real story to speak of. I may have to watch it more than once to actually pick up on any real plot but I would surely be dead. Oh yeah, and Manson(which is the only reason I watched this) was as stiff as a board.

He movie is about facing your life and death. Facing the "gatekeeper". It is extsestential. The only characters that mattered were the man and interviewer. Manson also represented something, death comes, he is a sort of earthly gatekeeper in a grim way. How will you respond to.the gate keeper when it is your time? With honesty or accolades? Ego? Pride? Will you confess your deepest sins

A movie that seem to try and borrow the "chopped" short-movie narrative/editing from Pulp Fiction, and the scummy environment of Winter's Bone. A bad mix of boredom and nonsense that makes you scream "why!?!?" At the tv, and to yourself for enduring through a story that never picks up. I'm not saying that the movie needed action scenes, just that all the good bits are way to cryptic and only clear to the terrible writers of this.

I loved Niko Nicotera and Mark Boone Jr as Ratboy and Bobby Munson on Sons of Anarchy, and have been a Marilyn Manson fan since about 1997, so I was hopeful. Ultimately I wasn't overly impressed with the movie ,or should I say, "film" as a whole, though. It was shot well,in my opinion, but it rambled along and just sort of lost momentum and ran out of gas at the end. It could have been a decent movie with some tweaking on the ending. It wasn't a total failure of a film, but I don't see myself ever watching it again on purpose.

This movie demands 100% attention - it is not a "sit back and go with the flow and a bag of pop corn" movie. If you don't pay attention, you don't get it. It being the story, the plot, the meaning and messages. And if you don't get it, the whole thing doesn't make any sense and will leave you in confusion. If you do pay attention, and if you're in the bonus position of viewing this movie at home, where you can hit "replay" the moment the credits roll, layers upon layers of interesting ideas become revealed. There are many things to like. The performances were very good across the board, and the refusal on the part of the director to show the violence in the usual gory detail becomes more ... poignant as time goes on. I mean that both in terms of the time of the unfolding movie as well as in terms of watching it more than once, which I would recommend. This movie is intriguing and extremely intelligent. I absolutely applaud this on all levels. The only reason I took a point off and gave it nine stars instead of ten was that I would have preferred the dialogue to be slightly crisper/clearer in the sound mixing to help us "understand."

I loved this film from beginning to the (open) ending. An indie masterpiece movie. Feels like not so many people did appreciate what i consider a very underrated movie. Manson's got only a bunch of minutes, but his character is so deep and controversial. I suggest watching this movie with a group of friends, as after you'll see this you will discuss A LOT. Yes, there are some flaws in the plot that sometimes is confusing and "nowhere to go", but overall I think is a very very good movie. Nico Nicotera and Sam Quartin are so good. Wow, Sam Quartin...I love her character so much and her acting. She' so wonderful and I fell in love with her character at once. She's so fragile but also so strong. You'll remember a quote from Manson's character, about differences between good and evil, forever...one of the best movie quote of the last years, I swear.

I kept waiting for something interesting to happen. Slow, ponderous, and boring. Not even Manson could save this mess.

Marylin Manson in a flick, that I do want to see so i picked up this one. His performance was okay and all the acting was okay and I can't say a thing about the cinematography or even the score and with all the high ratings I think I must have missed something because it just wasn't my thing. I can dig slow movies and have no problems with flicks full of characterization but this one was a slow mover and a bit too slow with too much of blah blah. But for the people who adore dark flicks it's a must see. Gore 0/5 Nudity 1/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
