The Rambler (2013)

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Lets get one thing clear, this film doesn't reach new heights in cinematic excellence, far from it but it is interesting. If you liked Eraserhead & Blue Velvet then you'll find some enjoyment in this offering, if you didn't like them then this will stink. At the very least this film will have you talking about it the following day, i've lost count of the films i've watched and instantly forgotten. Its flawed, its disjointed and often ludicrous but still offers something. Don't be too critical and it won't disappoint, expect ground breaking cinema and it will. The IMDb score is probably a touch harsh considering it isn't your run of the mill B movie. Films like this should be applauded for taking a less well trodden path.

I watched this film last night and had no idea what to expect to be honest. I would normally read a review before I watch but I just played it.My thoughts. A lot of previous posters try to understand what the meaning to this film is. To me it's very apparent what the meaning is. You know this at the very start of the film and throughout.This film is very dark in places and although some of the scenes can be regarded as funny they can also be rather disturbing all at the same time.Watch it if you dare that's all I say. And midnight as another poster pointed out is probably the best time.

Well I guess I would have to say .. Run do not walk as far away as possible from this movie as possible! Yes Its really that bad :( Has no value as a motion picture or as a story. It makes little to no sense at all. Has NO plot other then a guy travels and goes crazy / insane ? To bad to because I kinda like Dermot Mulroney .. So .. like one reviewer said .. The next time I want a similar experience I will eat a raw egg with shards of glass in it! Also One reviewer said .. After the screening, there was a brief Q & A with the writer/director. I found it funny that when asked if there was a deeper meaning behind some of the events in the film, he said no, it is what it is... LOL Well The Director got that right anyway!So .. If you have 97 min to waste .. Watch a different movie! And You Will Be Very Happy You Did!

As another reviewer said, if you have nothing to say, shut up. I'm amazed at how empty some peoples' minds can be, because I've seen some bad movies over the years but none as completely rotten as this one. Some bad movies are juvenile, others are unoriginal. Some are stupid, some have poor production values. This one is simply nothing. If someone deliberately set out to make a movie that had no story, no character development, no meaning, that wasn't even a pastiche of interesting or scenes randomly stitched together, that had no buildups and no payoffs at any point, they might come up with this movie. If you're sentenced to life in solitary confinement, with only this one movie for entertainment, don't watch it.
