Best movie of this year hands down!

Truly Dreadful Film

Sorry, this movie sucks

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

You'd expect a movie that touches on the recession and mortgage crises issues to be somewhat of a downer or overly preachy, not a hot, wildly enjoyable hoot with laces of black comedy with a hint of twisty thriller ingredients. First, the cast -- a terrific assembly of both older generation and newer generation hotties whose charisma alone is worth the price of admission. You've got the timelessly perfect Lowe, the temptingly exotic Clark, the sexy, cunning slickster Jurdi, hell Burt Reynolds still got some presence too and even the one and only Jenna Haze makes a cameo appearance in a hot tub no less! Then, the story -- a well-constructed rise and fall character study which uses the real estate scene as a clever allegory for the ever changing wheel of fortune that is life. One day you're hot stuff, the next you're a cautionary tale.Last but not least, the film is good, light entertainment. Doesn't ever let itself get heavy or monotonous, always zingy and snappish. All in all, "Pocket Listing" has all the right elements.

I haven't really seen anything quite like "Pocket Listing" in a while. Part social satire, part dramedy, and part neo noir, the film cleverly combines various genre elements to create a sensationalized, slickly produced journey into the cutthroat world of Los Angeles real estate.A sharp, witty script filled with crisp dialogue is elevated by strong performances from a colorful cast of actors who all seem to be having a really good time. Familiar faces like Lowe and Reynolds sprinkle in their battle-tested charisma, but it's really the newcomers that make this a home run. Jurdi delivers a ferociously self-assured and engaging performance as a broker whose career takes a nosedive after one bad deal, sending him on a roller coaster of betrayal, unexpected opportunity, and treacherous trap doors. He is smooth as silk but manages to maintain a level of affability and charm which keeps us rooting for his character. Fahey is top-notch as a villainous, ice-cold, trust fund kid cokehead, and Clark is stunningly sexy and well- cast as a bored showpiece wife who is smarter, and more ruthless, than she appears."Pocket Listing" is an ambitious and admirable film. You can feel that the filmmakers were trying to mix in a lot of stylistic techniques. Director Conor Allyn pays homage to the likes of Guy Ritchie and the Coen Brothers in a few scenes, and the whole picture almost feels like a tribute to both the sprawling melting pot that is Los Angeles as well as to the kind of off-kilter anti-heroes that we've met and grown to idolize in films like "Big Lebowski" and "Wall Street." Rarely does a film offer equal parts gloss and depth. This is one of them.

Sex, drugs, and... real estate!This film has a little bit of everything... great scenery, beautiful women, nefarious characters, a stunning bombshell, and a suave anti-hero. On a superficial level, the film is more than pleasing to the eyes and exceptionally well directed by Allyn, who transports us into this fantastic world of corrupt characters and fringe players.But what's more impressive about the film is the way it allows you to sympathize and care for the character's arc. The performances are all gold, led by the superb Jurdi as the morally gray broker who learns some life lessons, aided by a great Fahey as a villain you love to hate, a drop dead gorgeous Clark as a simultanously manipulative but vulnerable trophy wife, and veterans Lowe and Reynolds in small but notable roles.But above all, "Pocket Listing" is just a good time. Check it out..

This was just a really enjoyable film from start to finish. It takes unexpected twists and turns throughout the course of its devilishly clever script.Filled with great performances, the story takes us on a wild ride through the Los Angeles real estate scene. Flashy but substantial, it keeps the viewer thoroughly invested, never boring and always throwing new curveballs just when we get comfortable.Films like this can usually get lost in the shuffle of Hollywood blockbuster releases, but hopefully "Pocket Listing" will find the audience it deserves.
