For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
I registered at IMDb to spit out my frustration at the movie. 1. This movie is nothing like the other movie - Frequency. Granted, the premise is similar, but no background and a very weak story. 2. A device that can make a call to the past - well, whats the background to it? How come it is discovered late? 3. Only 1 person is chasing the autopsy report, the rest are busy burying it. That makes no sense. 4. The "device" gets accidentally kicked from the bed. It falls down... thats it.. nothing more to it! This just kept me hanging there wondering - am i missing something here ?? 5. And whats the deal with the lady (i think that was a lady) working in the morgue? She was very hostile to the lead character, delays the report by a day and then .. thats it !!! Pointless suspense scenario that just adds to the over all frustration!I watched this movie only on account of the other 2 reviews before me. They compared it to Frequency (happens to be one of my favs). Got fooled ... this is not worth your time or download.. I really tried to like this movie, but I just couldn't watch after 30 mins ..
When Haley Simmons' mother dies from an apparent heart attack, she is inconsolable. Three months later, her boyfriend Dylan and best friend Cathy are there for her. She discovers an old telephone that can call into the past like w time traveling telephone invented by her grandfather. What begins as fun becomes serious, Haley investigates her mother's death and could the present be changed. Her mother's sudden death may have been preventable but how. I bought this DVD because of the actor, Michael Muhney, who plays Dylan in it. The director has written and directed a believable film. They filmed on located in Monticello and Urbana, Illinois. The film is a nice departure from Hollywood. The cast do a fine job in their roles. There are a few unanswered questions. I enjoyed Devorah Richards as Sonya Simmons, Haley's mother. There are few criticisms towards what happened that afternoon in the house.
Just finished watching a screening of Disconnect and I am impressed. The storyline was well plotted with a continuity that is absent in a lot of other films of its kind. The action flows almost flawlessly when it matters and delivers a memorable ending. The acting was very natural, the camera work and angles well shot, and the story itself held my interest by keeping me guessing all the way to the end. Good musical score throughout, too. Anyone who liked the Butterfly Effect or Frequency will certainly appreciate Disconnect.Robin Christian Peters is a formidable new film maker whom I expect to see great things from in the years to come. When this film is released I predict it will do very well.
