Zebb67 This is without doubt one of the top ten worst movies I have ever seen. The high rating on IMDb may be attributed to the fact that (I have no proof of this -- it's just an opinion) the entire production crew voted before audiences had a chance to view it. The criminals are the most incompetent, ridiculous and annoying I have ever seen outside of a comedy (which I don't think this is supposed to be), and the protagonists are just as bumbling. Add to that some of the worst acting and dialogue I have ever heard and film-making skills that could easily be surpassed by a bunch of teenagers playing around with their cell phones and you have Nobody Can Cool, a film that makes about as much sense as its title. I could point out some the unbelievably ludicrous things that happen in this movie, but I didn't want to have to hit the "spoiler" button. I will say characters act in ways that simply defy all logic and leave it at that. You have been warned!

Elizabeth Clark A hint of menace is felt even in the opening scene as a Gen-Y couple, Susan and David, en route to a remote cabin for a getaway weekend, seems to be talking past each other. On arrival, an eerie atmosphere takes over when they find another couple already there. The tatted Len – the ominous Nick Principe -- and his pregnant girlfriend Gigi are tough and jumpy. What secrets or crimes are they hiding? The scenes, including a gem of comic relief, are swift and twisty and seamlessly intercut. The dialog is crisp and realistic. The actors play off one another with natural believability. Subtle clues reveal the past of the four principal characters but the plot holds its twists and surprises to the end.This is definitely one to see. Spread the word.

SJpixtster This is a fun fun film. It is a well-written thriller that scores big. A couple go away for a weekend and get themselves into trouble with some criminals hiding out at a cabin. It is a visually dynamic wow of a movie that just doesn't come around that often. A low budget film with no name actors who act the pants off a film with a riveting story that looks and sounds great. I loved the character, Len, one of the criminals, played by Nick Principe. His role is a must see. He has a range of funny and scary as hell. His sidekick, his very pregnant girlfriend, plays her nasty girl routine to the hilt.The good gal, Catherine Annett, brings a first class job playing a woman who is put through the paces, running mascara and all who is no pushover. She does a great job of dishing it out and has some truly unexpected moments with Len. I was fully engaged and gasped out loud in places. There are some shocking images. I'm surprised to find out this is a first film. This is a goody.

MasterCD Although it starts in familiar territory--2 opposing couples forced to spend the night together in the boonies with no phone-- it quickly switches gears turning unpredictable, ratcheting up the tension. Nobody Can Cool strays from "tried and true" plot conventions to make a taut original outsider thriller.You won't say, "I've seen this before", and that's exactly part of its charm. The other part is the immersive experience created through the quality of the production and the performances. The actors inject distinctive personalities into each character that make them fun to watch. You care about them and become invested in their stories. I don't want to describe the characters because it is better to get to know them as the film unfolds. I don't want to ruin it, but they do bad things and are in a jam. Sometimes it is pretty funny.The directors deftly weave the couples' interpersonal conflicts (many allowing for the humor) with a suspenseful smart crime plot that gradually unfolds throughout the movie. The shots are varied and confident with some visually arresting angles that add to a forbidding aura. The sound design adds a complementary background to the plot enhancing the tension and suspense. It's one of the few microbudget films I've seen with a multi-layered plot, complex characters and impressive production design, color, and cinematography to create a distinctive style. Too many films cherry pick what they decide to do well. You get good gore, but no story and cookie cutter characters. It's always a pleasure when a film cares about its plot, characters, and visual appeal at the same time. Nobody Can Cool is that kind of film. It's an original that should be sought out and given some real attention. I rated it ten stars because it impressively succeeds at a high degree of difficulty on no budget, and it's a remarkably well-crafted first feature. Full of chills, thrills, a tight plot that works, it grabs you early on and takes you on a colorful race to the end.
