A very interesting choice of cast in a bad way.

First of all I want to say that I respect this movie and I understood it. Donnie Darko is one of my favorite movies of all time and this was somewhat of a letdown. Now just because I didn't give it... Full review

Perhaps the worst movie of all time which borders on ridiclus. It is hard to believe someone selected this lame script and rag tag bunch of ideas for a story and wasted a crap load of money. It is hard to... Full review
Pretty Much The Worst Movie Ever In Film History

This film is so horrible, I'm going to say negative stuff about it. The Rock deserved a better role, he wasn't a badass at all in this film. I don't know what he was thinking, same with Sean William Scott. The... Full review

What a mess. Some actors must really need the money or like many of us considered Donnie Darko a good movie and thought the director would creat another cult classic. Well that didn't happen with this trash. The whole story is... Full review

Weird movie! Some interesting ideas in contrast to contempary society to a point. The plot withers in parts and could have used a bit more action not because of the Rock being in the movie but the plot just really needed... Full review

When I was trying to explain the movie to a friend and I understood that the fact a perpetual motion machine caused a rip in the space time continuum which lead to a clone of The Rock (and his original self... Full review

The movie left me feeling so lost. There was so much going on in the movie that the central idea was totally lost to me. I hate to watch a movie that leaves me feeling like I wasted an hour and... Full review
Richard Kelly; keep it simple, Stupid.
Jul 10, 2008

Basically an over complicated story with really bad acting and casting. Richard Kelly obviously was trying to out do his cult hit Donnie Darko, instead fusing satire and a bull***** story and shoving fist fulls of deep and meaningful crap to... Full review

SOUTHLAND TALES is pointless, rambling, and irritating. Now, strictly speaking, it's not necessary to have an intelligible plot in order to make a good film as long as there is an all-encompassing sense of mood and tone. ... Full Review

Kelly definitely has a unique vision that while misguided in SOUTHLAND TALES , still shines through with a visual style all his own. The movie is too strange, too non-linear and not entertaining enough for the mainstream. ... Full Review

I've been amazed at how much pure hatred has been slung at Southland Tales . Sophomore projects, unfortunately, often follow this pattern, and while it may not seem ideal, there's always anticipation the filmmaker will still get to see their movie properly recognized in their lifetime. ...
