Movie Reviews of The Man Who Wasn't There
Movie Review: Film Noir: Coens style
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Man who wasn't there" is yet another great addition to the Coen brothers list of movies, always differing in style the Coens chose this time to make a noir film shot in black and white and greatly succedded. As usual the script, directing and acting are fantastic. Billy Bob Thornton was very good at playing Ed Crane, the barber who decided to end his boring life and try something new only to end up in disaster. As in the other Coens movies there are so many twists and turns that they will make your head spin and this one is no different. Recommended for fans of film noir, the Coens brothers, and independent film. My rating 9/10.Movie Review: The Best Coen Brother's Movie to date...
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love old Hollywood movies and really great acting then check out this one. Billy Bob Thorton gives an awesome performance as the put-upon lead character with equally well performed characters by Tony Shaloub, Frances McDormand, James Fandolfini, and others. But be warned, if you don't or can't enjoy dark comedies, then do yourself a favor and skip this one. It isn't an idiotic summer blow-up movie, there isn't any women running around topless, and best of all though is this movie has great dialogue. If you enjoy old film noirs like anything by Hitchcock, then buy this one.Movie Review: Overlooked Gem!
Summary: 5 Stars
A fan of the Coen brothers might overlook this one but it's among their best. The film is engaging and striking at every turn. It's full of surprises and every actor, including Scarlett, turns in excellent performances. It is easily among Billy Bob Thornton's best, and James Gandolfini is great as always.
For direction and photography I believe this film to be among the Coen's top two and much better than Fargo. But it's okay if nobody rushes out to buy it and it remains unknown. It leaves something for the rest of us to wonder over, as an underground cult film.
Movie Review: Another Coen masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this film. Billy Bob showed control, almost autistic, but fully aware all the time. Frances McDormand and James Gandolfini added to the outrageous subtle humor, all with a perfect "noir" attitude. Scarlett Johannson adds a bit of interest to the proceedings. The Coens never fail to provide an interesting story, and this is as good as it gets. The black 'n white photography is brilliant. I like it a lot. Very amusing...Movie Review: Slow, but worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
This is perhaps the slowest moving movie I've ever seen. I don't think many people would like to sit down and watch it with you, but it's worth watching. I was really happy with it. I can't say much more than that without spoiling it. But if you're looking for a movie to watch with friends, watch something else. It reminds me a lot of "The Stranger" by Albert Camus if it could be made into a movie.
