He Never Died (2015)

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

What a weird, brutal, freaky yet ridiculously funny movie.. Brilliant performance by Henry Rollins, 'Jack' just became one of my all time favorite cinema characters. The fresh mysterious 'WTF' kind of story and characters, the performances, music, action, violence and blood, dark humor.. all are beyond awesome..."It's hard to live when you can't die."9/10

'He Never Died' is quirky and serious at the same time. This film has much more depth than one can expect from such genre (horror-comedy). Henry Rollins gives a performance of a lifetime as a loner Jack, who doesn't want anything more than left alone. He is immortal who has roamed the Earth since the beginning of times. Even he himself doesn't know how old he is (he knows that he is mentioned in the Bible). Having witnessed centuries of petty side of human existence, it is no surprise that such a creature have developed such detachment from society. His mono-syllabic answers and responses are usually hilarious. The screenplay is well written with plenty of sly humor and twists. Much is said with little words and explanations. Character Jack is well developed, and not only - being immortal, he is actually very relatable and realistic. Supporting characters are also interesting, and are never demoted to just a daughter, love interest or gangster. Gory, funny and unpredictable ride that is actually much more than simple horror comedy.

Absolutely stunned by this movie that did not see the wide release it should have. The production value is a little low, as one can tell by the small cast, the shooting locations and the relatively unknown studio and producer. And that's about the only bad thing about this movie. Henry Rolling carries the whole movie with a deadpan version of his character, every conversation with him is a new treat. The supporting characters were well done, not overly sensational but it doesn't matter because Jack is back on the screen and scowling at someone. Even a simple "okay" delivered by Rollins is a reason to turn this movie on (it is on Netflix right now if I'm not mistaken). Honestly, invest the 90 minutes it takes for this movie to wrap up, and you'll wish the promised sequel or TV series will actually take off.

He's too cool. Henry Rollins over-acts. He's not a professional actor, and it shows. While it's well done and the casting is great, he makes a few minor errors (just look for duckface in the first five minutes- all alone he would be far more emotionless.) It's a well done film, just with a few more scene takes I bet it could have been riveting.All in all, I am pleased with Rollins, but I can see amateur action here.What else? The video editing is great, but it lacks... something. Be it shots of the city (is it a city?) or perspective (what is he really interested in?) or pure action (wham! bam! boom!) the stuff is just not there to feel like a feature film.Plot is 10/10. Casting is 10/10. Performance.. c'mon mr. director why you give a pass to duckface?
