Movie Reviews of The Nines (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Uniqu9
Summary: 3 Stars
Not a bad movie. Not the greatest I have ever seen, but it was a good mystery. I think a little more detail at the end would have been nice, but other than that I give it a 3 out of five. I was impressed with the writing, the plot, and the ending. However I think if you didn't wait around until the end to tie it all together this might have proved to be a very confusing movie that left a lot of people not actually taking the time to finish it.
Summary of The Nines (Special Edition)
A troubled actor a television show runner and an acclaimed videogame designer find their lives intertwining in mysterious and unsettling ways.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE/THRILLERS Rating: R UPC: 043396227507 Manufacturer No: 22750Worlds collide in most unusual ways in The Nines, marking the feature directorial debut of John August, screenwriter of such offbeat wonders as Big Fish, Corpse Bride, and Titan A.E.. Ryan Reynolds plays Gary, a Hollywood television actor whose crack cocaine escapades land him under house arrest. A no-nonsense publicist (Melissa McCarthy) who specializes in rehabilitating bad-boy stars for public consumption keeps Gary in line until a sexy neighbor (Hope Davis) makes him wonder if his reality is truly all it seems to be. Indeed, once the question is asked, another world washes away the last one: this time Reynolds plays Gavin, a TV showrunner whose best friend (McCarthy) is dropped from his new series after a network executive (Davis) manipulates him. A watchful viewer of The Nines will begin to note that certain themes and bits of dialogue overlap the first two segments of the film, and that certain key lines (e.g., "You're not a man") are laced with double meanings. A haunting resonance, a sense that everything is imbued with some unknown quality or secret, overtakes one's deepest experience of the movie. That feeling only grows in the final third of the story, in which Reynolds becomes Gabriel, a doting husband and father who leaves his wife (McCarthy) and child (Elle Fanning) with their stalled family car while he fetches help. Along the way he meets a wary stranger (Davis), and nothing is the same again. Everything loops into everything else in August's clever story, which taps into that profound sense of alienation and dislocation most of us feel at one time or another, and pushes it toward the realm of myth. Fans of Donnie Darko may well find The Nines equally intriguing. --Tom Keogh
