The Rambler (2013)

Crappy film

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I thought this movie was amazing. It was mysterious and original with really good gore and great camera work. It was just really stunning visually from beginning to end.I'm not a huge Mulroney fan, but he did an admirable in job bringing depth and humor to a role that didn't have a lot of dialogue to work with, which has to be challenging. And it was fun to see him a role other than some stupid romantic comedy. I hate romcoms. I am not familiar with Lindsay Pulsipher, but she worked well with Mulroney and I'll definitely look for her in other films. She seems worth watching.Great supporting characters too. The mad scientist was horrible and funny at the same time, and the cab driver blathering on about Frankenstein was hysterical. There was actually a surprising amount of humor for a movie that was definitely not a comedy.

It is for those who think that David Lynch makes far too few Movies, or for those that haunt Film Festivals and Midnight Movie Screenings, or the Counter-Culture Hordes who abhor anything from Mainstream Hollywood. That is to say this is one of the Weird Ones.It is incomprehensible and defies Classification. It is Bizarre and proud of it. Disturbing imagery abound and Ugly People populate this Misanthropic Movie and it has no pretensions other than to make you squirm and squabble about its Meaning (it has none other than what you provide).Definitely worth a watch for those interested in Underground Cinema and Films that inhabit the edge of the Universe defiling anyone who dares venture into proximity. It cannot be explained and doesn't attempt to offer any coherent Story. This is an exercise in Art and is filled with nothing more than Imagery and Sound to elicit a response. The Dialog is so strange that it really has nothing to do with anything. There is one exchange between a Cab Driver and The Rambler that is directed at those who will hate this Movie. Cabbie: "Have you seen the Movie Frankenstein?" Rambler: "No." Cabbie: "I Love that Movie, but I would have made it in Color".

First of all let me say this" this film is a trip" . I wont say if it was a good trip,but i will say that you don't see stuff like this a lot.If you enjoy films like "The Deadly Drifter " ,or "The Big Empty", you,ll be right at home.Fellini-type images,flashing between dreams ,and nightmares,light ,and dark.Dis-jointed,non-liner , and just plain weird.I like these type of movies,and love abstract things,in art ,and film.If this sounds like something up your alley ,go for it. If not,move on to the next ,trendy ,garden path plot movie,at the nearest 10 plex,and have no worries.I myself like a challenge,and a film NOT set up like a paint-by-number art set.Its up to new story-tellers to give us something new, like this.If you like stuff thats NOT mainstream,this is for you.

As another reviewer said, if you have nothing to say, shut up. I'm amazed at how empty some peoples' minds can be, because I've seen some bad movies over the years but none as completely rotten as this one. Some bad movies are juvenile, others are unoriginal. Some are stupid, some have poor production values. This one is simply nothing. If someone deliberately set out to make a movie that had no story, no character development, no meaning, that wasn't even a pastiche of interesting or scenes randomly stitched together, that had no buildups and no payoffs at any point, they might come up with this movie. If you're sentenced to life in solitary confinement, with only this one movie for entertainment, don't watch it.
