Soon dark secrets about Spencer and Louise will come to life and Victor is caught between them when they want to do a plan witch he is involved so that they can get away clean.The first hour is good and exciting, keeps you interested in what is about to happen next but the last half makes the movie to loose it's substance and gets complicate superfluous, an interference of plans and ideas that brigs to the movie a minus in the quality. But you could still watch it along with a few neighbors.
Good Neighbors (2010)A Canadian indie thriller with spritely charm. Yup! The cast is small, the concept cute and macabre (both), and the filming and editing first rate. This is the latest installment of what is a new genre, mostly American, where a bright, lighthearted tone keeps a relatively serious theme tipped on edge the whole time. It's almost as if the filmmakers are tired of high drama movies, from true horror films to action adventure to even the moving dramas that win the awards. It's also, though, a product of budget, and making the most of small resources. "Good Neighbors" is in many ways a perfect small movie.Imagine the most common of situations--a small apartment building where two main characters each have an apartment. One is a disgruntled young woman with two sweet cats, her only real friends. The other is a charming handsome man in a wheelchair, with a cynical and mean interior. Then a newcomer arrives, all sweetness and kindness.Meanwhile, a serial killer is in the neighborhood, and the woman in particular follows the story for her own self-preservation. Because it's a tightly constructed movie you suspect that one of the three has something to do with the killings, but maybe not, as a fourth apartment dweller makes her viciousness known. This is the turning point, and things get complicated in a funny/tragic way in the last quarter of the film. As convincing as all these characters are (most of the time), there are few holes here and there. One of them is the series of crimes, and the minimal presence of the police (and rather unconvincing tough detective who looks better than he sounds for the part). In a way we're not supposed to believe or care about the crimes themselves, but in another way, the crimes become, increasingly, the whole movie. Thank goodness for the director that the Montreal police are apparently pretty relaxed about gathering evidence.Never mind the nitpicking, however. If you like the "indie" feel of movies like "Timer" or even "Juno" (which is better overall), this one will really take you in. It's a "delight" in the best sense of that word.
The rating here is way off, because only 26 people have reviewed the movie! It was quirky, interesting, twisted, and well done! It keeps you guessing and nothing happens in a predictable way! I'm sure it has been said in other reviews, but it really reminded me of Shallow Grave by Danny Boyle! And boy did I LOVE Shallow Grave! Did I mention it had great performances too! All of these things make a great movie in my opinion! The writer/director Jacob Tierney is going places! I see a bright future for this guy! Right now the IMDb rating is a 5.7, but as more people see the movie, it's going way up! See it! You won't be disappointed!
but since I need 10 lines to write this review, here goes...Likable actors - notice I said actors and not characters. I thought Speedman was very good in "The Strangers" and that movie had some suspense.This movie was lacking direction, suspense and interest. When you read the summary, you think this sounds like a great movie. When you watch the movie, you think "how did they screw this up?" I like animals, but cats got on my nerves after watching this movie. The french speaking just felt contrived and introduced to seem more artsy.Ending - blew. No climax whatsoever. No resolution. If it was open to interpretation, I was too turned off to care.Now can someone please take the plot for this movie and make a good suspenseful one???
