The Nines (2007)
Art-house Poetism, 4 Mar 2008

Plot:

A TV actor (Ryan Reynolds) goes on a bender before crashing his car after smoking crack with a hooker. Under house arrest, he hears noises and sees hallucinations that suggest a haunting. However, the truth is much stranger, and a portal to other dimensions is opened...

My Review:

The Nines is a more poetic version that questions Humanities existence. It is another startling and perhaps more original idea that bares the likeness of M Night Shyamalan or whatever his name is. It begs to answer on its own accord the simplest questions, like "What is going on? Why are we here? We've all thought these things?" providing an answer to our own inadequate answers.

Science Fiction fans will love this, with that in mind it has a beautiful intrinsic idea behind everything (literally everything) that seems to glimmer with its own inner-self incandescence. Mixes and mingles parables and plethoras of edgy indie realism with bizarre metaphysical surrealism, providing much needed provocation and genuine food for thought.

Verdict:

A well-cooked and interesting piece of 90 minute cinema. 8/10.
