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

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this one but it grabbed my attention right from the start. Great acting & a strong script, nicely shot to. Sometimes it was a little cliche, otherwise I would have given it 10/10.

I'll admit that at first, Jacks extremely indelicate persona was quite funny in the beginning, but sadly, it started to become the film's strongest leg to stand on, and sadly, Jack's unintentional humorous nature was just not strong enough to sustain a full 99 minutes.He Never Died is incoherent and takes so long to take off, that by the time it tries to, it's run out of road.Andrea is a character that's neither here nor there. Jeremy is, meh. The two thugs are, what they are. Cara is, pretty, and OK. The landlord is perhaps my second favorite character, and I'm not even sure she's meant to be of any consequence.The directing is choppy, and I can't even remember the composition. The movie gets quite boring an hour in.People seem to like this movie, not really sure why. Yeah, Henry Rollins is pretty good, but, it's not enough for a rating over 6, but, to each their own I guess.3.5/10.

Jack (Henry Rollins) has developed a routine for his life that he sticks to in order to avoid giving into the impulse to engage in cannibalism. He stays away from society other than regular trips to a local diner, bingo games, and to the hospital, where he purchases blood from a hospital intern, Jeremy (Booboo Stewart).Although there is a little bit of some bad acting (especially characters in the first 10 minutes), this seems to clear up. Rollins is a dominating force, which is no surprise. He has always been great at commanding attention, and this is a character that is well-suited for him.I am confused about this being listed as a comedy. Some reviewers even say it is "laugh out loud funny", but I just didn't see it. There are some moments of dark humor, but as a whole it really doesn't play as a comedy and I think it would be better if they didn't suggest that it was. Let the film speak for itself.Most disappointing is how the film is essentially a pilot for a miniseries. I love the characters, love the Biblical themes they were going for, but it was clear this movie was not scripted to be wrapped up in one movie. If the miniseries were to fall through, the movie would suffer as a result. I see that as a shortcoming, though it is one that could yet be rectified.

Plagued by a grindhouse title and your bottom-of-the barrel Netflix expectations, He Never Died has everything against it: a vague promise of cannibalism, second rate actors, and an opening scene during which the director instructed the sound engineer to go full blast "weird". Fortunately, if one is attuned to language, the title is set in the past, which we discover at the end is quite immemorial; this is not your run-of- the-mill Jason Statham flick, situated in the present, or Heaven forbid, an even more grindhouse fare (with bloody letters and an exclamation mark!) that a post-modern writer-director would have spin to a lazy studio exec.He Never Died is a good movie. Not only he never did, but he never does and will never do. He's one of this cursed characters, unable to escape his fate, because this fate has been sealed shut for eternity. Whatever he tries to appease a vengeful God is bound to fail, even though the man with a funny hat can enjoy his haphazard treat.Quite everything is delightful in this movie, from the mute, no-nonsense hero to the lovely scenes he manages to extract – with minimal effort – from his female co-stars, a rather conventional daughter and a glorious diner waitress. All men involved meet their prompt demise, because they are scum, the main villain having the worst encounter possible, condensed in just one, terrifying syllable.Could have we done without the Biblical reference? Maybe. Does it make the movie in any way less enjoyable? Hell no. Watch it.
