N-Secure (2010)

the audience applauded

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Memorable, crazy movie

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10

OK..The acting IS HORRIBLE. The movie did surprise me with some of the most ridiculous demands from the main character David.The main character is very insecure, but not just him, the full cast is insecure. I liked the levels of insecurity each showed. I think that those who focus just on David tend to do so because thats what we expect. EXTREMES...I like that this movie twisted and even though you THINK you know the next role, you don't quite see it or believe it. Its deff worth the dollar at red box, and yes if people can watch "jack ass, or jeepers creepers, they can watch this." Just try it and sit through it..disregard the acting flow and take it for what its worth..A very LOW budget, fluid wise, movie..he scenes were OK as was the wardrobe and extras casted...

N-Secure is billed on Amazon as some sort of psychological character study of how a man can go from the pinnacle of success into the bowels of hell, simply because he isn't secure with himself and the people around him.Well, that's not quite accurate...it's really more about an obsessive controlling psychopath and his attempt to enslave virtually everyone around him into a "serve me or die" pact. What starts as an intriguing character study of an obviously emotionally bruised martinet devolves into an African American take on "the female imprisoned" ala Jennifer Lopez's "Enough," only that film was played much broader and almost for sheer action-adventure adrenaline. N-Secure never achieves that kind of driving, operatic rhythm, and by the end, you could swear you're watching a Lifetime movie.This film had four screenwriters. That's about two too many in most cases, and it definitely shows here. The film is littered with stray, odd scenes that are intriguing in that they illuminate bits of David's shattered psyche, but then doesn't do anything with them. For instance, early on we meet a Marine buddy of David's who appears to only be in the movie as a sounding board for an exposition on David's combative resentful relationship with this father. Another scene shows his current girlfriend seeking help from a therapist who seems to understand how dangerous David is. Neither of these scenes pan out or add anything to the movie in the long run, they may as well have been cut.Cordell Moore, who plays David, comes across as such an over-the-top maniac it's hard to feel any sympathy for him and it makes it even more implausible when his latest squeeze Tina (Denise Boutte) stays with him through repeated abusive episodes --- David isn't just a physical abuser, he's downright nasty to be around most of the time, even when he's showering her with gifts.The real problem, though, lies with director David Matthews. The film has a lot of pacing problems, never balancing the tension between David's current world with the paternity subplot helmed thanklessly by the normally very good Essence Atkins. There are times you wonder if one of the plots has just been dropped. Yes, this is a script problem but the director seems to not have had much input into this, or not cared. Unfortunately, at times, the whole thing seems a bit too much like a "hey-I-got-a-pile-of-money-to-blow-on-a-movie" experiment. It seems clotted with family and friends, many of whom can't act at all and who obviously are playing a "type:" Tempest Bledsoe (yes, THAT Tempest Bledsoe) and Thomas Miles as Harold (WHAT does this guy DO at David's office...is he doing a Jimmie Walker impersonation or is he just the Jive A** court jester?).It's too bad because this had some very interesting seeds of an intense character drama. But it's hard to make films like that. It's much easier to churn out formulaic psycho-husband movies, like this one. It makes Tyler Perry's pseudo dramatics almost seem professional by comparison.

"It's 12:06, I had a reservation for 12:45, you just blew it." David Alan Washington (Moore) is a very controlling man, everything must be on time and to his liking. When he comes home to find his fiancé Robin (Atkins) with another man he calls off the wedding. Then begins to date Tina, and becomes much, much worse. Some movies you watch have such an emotional impact on you that it effects your judgment of the film. This is one of them. The acting from the main cast is good (the supporting is if'y at best) but the Washington character distracts you from the flaws of the movie and you focus all your attention on how much you hate him and want horrible things to happen to him. The steps he takes in order to control the women in his life are very dangerous, and the fact that some people are actually like this is terrifying. It's hard to fully judge how good the movie was because of the hatred you feel toward the main character. It has such a polarizing affect that you can't stop watching because you want to see him get what he deserves. Overall a much better movie then I expected and I think everyone should watch this in order to see the way this "man" acts. You will like the movie but hate David. I give it a B+.Would I watch again? - I would if someone who hasn't seen it wants to watch it.*Also Try - For Colored Girls & I Can Do Bad All By Myself

This movie was almost a total waste of time if you had nothing better to do or just believe in supporting indie films it's okay.If you are expecting anything that holds the attention or even decent acting forget. To be fair the actors can't be blamed the writing was terrible which I can't understand when the premise of the movie had such potential.It seem to be a soap opera and not a very good one at that there was no character development nor any type of build up to important scenes. The dialog was unbelievable as well as strained to the point where nothing seemed realistic I would suggest that you see anything besides this movie unless you just want to be able to tell your friends that you saw a train wreck.
