People are voting emotionally.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Although the movie starts off in a slow weird way, once you watched through you'll learn to like the characters and love their friendship. WristCutters is worth watching.Despite it's box office earnings "wrist cutters" is fun and takes the audience on an adventure through the dreary afterlife in search for Zia's love. The acting is good and the story is excellent for a low budget movie. WristCutters is not long and has just the right amount of "funny" leaving you wanting more.If you like dark comedies, romance and friendship you should without a doubt see WristCutters.

Like most of the movies I've been watching lately, I searched here at IMDb before watching this, and this one has a 7,3 average score and the plot caught me, so it was enough for me.The story is about people who commit suicide and the place where they go, what seems to me a lot like the purgatory from catholic church.Even though the special effects are very bad, the movie itself is not bad, because this is not some mindless action movie, so that's OK if special effects suck.What concerned me was that, for a "different" movie, with a "out of the box" story, it just ended like all the other movies, with the protagonist staying with the beautiful girl.I'm so tired of that kind of brainwashing about a romantic couple, doesn't matter if we are talking about a war on Mars or a suburban family trying to pay the bills, it's like a recipe people follow just to reach some final goal, that is the approval of the audiences.About the acting, it's average, with some highs and downs. The Russian guy was very nice, but the protagonist was just around average.Nevertheless, it's a funny movie with some good ideas that show creativity and makes us think.Concluding, for a overall average movie, 6 seems a just score.

The clever and imaginative comedy "Wristcutters: A Love Story," written and directed by Goran Dukic, takes place in a world populated entirely by people who've committed suicide, a land that has everything the live world has to offer, apparently, except a sky full of stars and cell phone reception. And, oh yea, there's a black hole under the passenger seat of the rusted-out orange station wagon our intrepid characters are riding in. These include Zia (Patrick Fugit), who slashed his wrists after he broke up with his girlfriend, Desiree (Leslie Bibb), and Eugene (Shea Whigham), a Russian guitarist who electrocuted himself on stage in front of a particularly unappreciative audience. Together, they go on a road trip through the desert in search of Desiree, who apparently offed herself not long after Zia did. The two pick up a hitchhiker, Mikal (Shannyn Sossamon), the victim of a fatal overdose, who joins them in their quest.The irony of this wry and offbeat little journey into surrealism is that, while the premise may be all about death, the movie itself is actually a celebration of life and of all the unique and wonderful things that are contained therein - the heartache and the joy, the friendships and the rivalries, and, above all, the chance to make things right again if you just hang in there and persevere through all the obstacles and rough patches that life is bound and determined to throw at you.And the ending is about as life-affirming as any movie about suicide could ever hope to be.

Wristcutters is not a happy tale, but a somber one which begins with a suicide by Zia who slashes his wrists; oh joy, such an uplifting drama from Croation born writer- director, Goran Dukic; what the hell happened in his Baltic childhood? Zia dies and discovers that the afterlife ain't all that it's cracked up to be; no flying angels in white, playing with a heavenly choir, but instead a place with no flowers, no stars, and only dull colors. His fellow residents have all offed themselves in various ways. A Russian musician, Eugene, has poured a beer on his guitar while on-stage, thus electrocuting himself. He meets Zia and they go on a road trip in a car that has a black hole under the passenger seat, where objects put there disappear. Zia hears that his ex-girlfriend, Desiree, has also killed herself. On the drive, they pick up Mikal, a girl who insists that there has bee a mistake, and that she does not belong there and wants to find the people in charge. Just when you thought it couldn't any stranger, the trio almost run over a man lying in the middle of the road. It is Kneller(Tom Waits), who has fallen asleep while looking for his dog. He runs a commune where objects change color and people float. This bizarre world seems like a combination of Dr. Who meets Terry Gilliam. Mikal is obsessed with finding the the people responsible for sending her to limbo land, or whatever it is. She did not commit suicide, but took too much heroin by mistake. I am a big fan of Tom Waits; especially his music, and check him out for his small role in The Book of Eli. As for Wristcutters; you may cut yours after viewing it; what a downer.
