The Machine

(SPOILER FREE)

Movie Review

Whoever was in charge of decision making for this whole production, needs to give us another one of these, as a whole team from cast and writing and directing and the look and sound and all. Decisions came together correctly as a whole and makes this funny idea of a movie into something that is a respectable feature length comedy film.

IF YOU DON’T KNOW: This movie is based on a stand up comedy joke by comedian Bert Kreischer (the lead) based on his real life experience in Russia as a young man. Hilarious story already, giving him the nickname The Machine by Russian mafia.

As an actor myself, I am totally impressed by Bert doing this, even if he is playing himself, he delivers correctly: balance between the comedy but still being in the scene; also as an actor myself, I love the whole cast, obviously the leads as they just fit each other as co-stars as well as in their respective roles.

To conclude as to why I am giving this rating:

1) really it did hit me like a 10 when I watched

2) cast and acting is correct for this type of movie, very respectable efforts for such a ridiculous plot.

3) i love seeing someone take their own short story and turn it into a movie, as I can totally relate to the desire as a filmmaker myself. Very encouraging.

4) the jokes are not dumb even though the whole thing is hilarious. They have been written and approved by people who care.

RATING: 9/10 comedy film experience

For me 10s are like Pineapple Express, Superbad, Tropic Thunder, whatever.
