jubob2 This film is a pleasure to watch but a veritable conundrum to figure out. Watching it a second time will sort an incredible amount out. It is told from the point of view of a blogger, a filmmaker, several of the actors, an insurance adjuster and, most interestingly, contains spin-offs of possible plot lines in the mind of the filmmaker. I think this is where most of the confusion comes from. If you like puzzles, this is the film for you. Wonderful acting, interestingly filmed. Trying to sort out the various plot levels becomes the challenge. Those who say there is no method to the madness haven't looked closely enough. Everyone within the film is trying to figure out this crime so it is only fair that the audience is let in on the game as well.

rooprect Ever see a movie that is full of art, depth and meaning, but you just don't like it?David Lynch movies strike me the same way. "Road to Nowhere" seems like a very Lynchian film. It carries a dark, brooding sense of imminent tragedy, characters are mysterious (some may say deliberately 2-dimensional), and the story disorients the viewer by leaping through different planes of existence. It's the kind of movie you're probably expected to view several times before you truly get it.The story takes us to a small town where we piece together a crime based on small fragments. The whole time, a movie is being filmed about the crime, and that's the real plot. It's actually pretty clever of the director to hit us with 2 simultaneous stories unfolding in cryptic bits, and if I had more patience, I could have absorbed it all. But for the first hour I was just struggling to figure out what's going on, and the long, slow pacing seemed to mock my struggle. Do not watch this movie unless you're prepared to sit for nearly 2 hours like a deer in the headlights.When the big picture finally materializes, it's almost too late. The abrupt ending may leave you feeling unsatisfied as it did me. But I guess that's where you're supposed to watch it again. There was one part I'm very glad I saw: a scene where one character recites the poem "Sonnet XXV" by George Santayana. I'd never heard that poem before and immediately paused the movie to look it up.Another scene, a short one of a plane crashing into a lake, struck me as beautiful. Make no mistake, even though I'm not a big fan of this movie, I enjoyed parts of it and would recommend it to fans of David Lynch ("Mulholland Drive"), Peter Greenaway ("Zed and two Naughts") or maybe--this is a stretch--Wim Wenders ("Paris, Texas"). It's also vaguely reminiscent of Jim Jarmusch ("Limits of Control") but it doesn't have Jarmusch's humorous moments, or any humor really. This is a very serious movie, made by serious people, intended for serious cinephiles. Do not watch this if you're in the mood for "Peewee's Big Adventure" or you'll be likely to crash your own airplane into a lake.

Lotus11234 A really bad movie trying to be existential and thought provoking, with supposed stylish scenes, that starts and ends up being just a confusing, intentionally unintelligible borefest.First we watch a riveting four minute scene with a woman blowing a hairdryer on her face for some reason. Pretty girl, but please. I guess the director thinks that some people when they are pondering their lives or a dilemma break out the hairdryer. Shots ring out later for reasons that are never fully shown or explained. I will tell you why, but there are now SPOILERS AHEAD.There begins some type of cover up for a crime, that ends up actually being a movie of the cover up of the crime that ends up being a movie of a movie of the cover up of the crime, or maybe not, that ends up being an entirely new crime, but wait.....it is a now a movie of that crime, but that ends up being a filming of the story of that crime, or maybe not......who knows? I am sure this all has some deep meaning to the director, and shadows his personal life or something, but to normal people, no meaning at all. Worse, it is stunningly slow and boring. If you find the above premise intriguing, I would suggest someone could have made a movie like that that would be infinitely more interesting and yet still be confusing and thought provoking. Like maybe Inception or numerous other movies.I think the movie is summed up by its title, but even more to the point, a line within the movie itself (or within one of the movies of the movies...): " Let's f--- the facts" OK cut....lets look over this review and see if it reads well.... OK CUT.......THATS A WRAP OF THIS REVIEW..........

Perry Bee Like the title of this horrible nothing of a film, it truly goes no where, sure I liked the first 5 to 10 minutes and thought hey this could be good. But again I was fooled, I really should have paid more attention to the cast of no body's, it tends to be a good indication what a film is going to be like, and yes I have been wrong before, but most times it is a pretty good way to sort out the good from the bad.Don't get me wrong this could have been an O.K film but it had no direction of any kind, and really no fault of the cast that this ended up to be a stinker of a boring film. They seemed to really try to hard doing absolutely nothing with a script that has no direction of any kind.If you are O.K with wasting about 2 hours of your life than go for it, I myself just have better things to do, hence I gave up on this film half way through.Up there with the worst stinker of the year for 2011, very solid 1 out of 10.And watch the rating of 6.4 tumble over the next few weeks!Update Update!!!! and for those who voted positive for this disaster, please note the rating of 6.4, it is coming down! What does that mean? it stinks!
