Seriously, how did this so severely fly under the radar? It came out in 2010, which was back when I still checked theater releases every week and I'd never heard of it either.wombat_of_war said:The first film you have defended that i have honestly never heard of.
I did get to see it when it came out and I loved the direction it went given that angle would've been too predictable. We've seen that done before even if it isn't all that often, but this, well, spoilers. Just in case.SnakeoilSage said:I think Pierce's character living in a fantasy world was a little too campy, and would have preferred a dinner party of guests who at first buy into Pierce's oddities but they and you slowly come to realize that his character has always been on the edge of sanity and the opportunity to have a real victim to play with has suddenly propelled him firmly into the crazy seat, but I suppose that would give John some unlikely allies or extra tormentors and turned this into a slasher flick.
This movie is one of the reasons I love Netflix (and used to love HBO type channels): a chance to see something I likely wouldn't go to the theater for, but is a buried treasure that shouldn't be missed nonetheless.Orekoya said:I did get to see it when it came out and I loved the direction it went given that angle would've been too predictable.

The fact that Warwick isn't actually all that dangerous is quite unique and interesting. I was completely caught off-guard by the fact that John was just let go at the end of the night despite the fact that it could come back and bite Warwick in the ass later. It was the first time I saw a movie about the psychos who are clearly mentally unhinged but aren't actual killers, even if just pretending to be.
This seems less like a "Movie Defense Force" than an episode of "Movies You Probably Haven't Heard Of." I wasn't aware this movie was under attack... or of its existence.Jimothy Sterling said:The Perfect Host

Lame joke aside, sticking up for something takes many forms. In this case, the injustice of a film that's been criminally overlooked.josh4president said:Is it still considered a Move Defense Force when the entire contingent of persons familiar with the film (detractors included) amounts to a total of seven, of which Jim counts for four?
Just out of nosiness, what on earth are the words to the Movie Defence Force theme? I can never work it out.Jimothy Sterling said:Lame joke aside, sticking up for something takes many forms.
