I was led to believe this was a quality movie. Endorsed by a trusted source this movie failed at every turn. The story line has a good premise, but poorly written, directed and edited. The acting in this movie was sub-par at best. I would say that I was disappointed by how the lead actor was directed, but the lead actor is the director. Sad, just sad.

Uninspired, unimaginative, and utterly forgettable -not all actors are like this!

Uninspired, unimaginative, and utterly forgettable, 'I am That Man' is a cinematic disaster from start to finish. Directed by the hack Marsden (not all actors are like this), whose lack of vision is only matched by his ineptitude behind the camera, the film stumbles through a convoluted plot filled with clichés and tired tropes.
Marsden also wrote the screenplay, littered with predictable twists and cardboard characters, feels like a rough draft hastily thrown together by someone with no understanding of storytelling. The dialogue is as wooden as his performance. Another wannabe director-writer who is at best a bit & C-Level actor whose glory days were early in his career.
From its cringeworthy attempts at humor to its poorly executed action sequences, Man is a prime example of how not to make a movie. Save your time and money, and steer clear of this cinematic catastrophe even if you can see it on Tubi.

Attention to detail makes all the difference

Fantastic film with an indie vibe.

Independent films with small budgets can sometimes be rare gems. I Am That Man is such a gem. I watched with several war fighter, combat veterans who told me it was the most realistic portrayal of a veteran's struggle when returning from battle, they all cried at the end. The story has a positive message against anti-Semitism and a redemptive arch for the hero who isn't overblown. This movie is about the subtleties and quiet intensity. The fights are realistic, not Hollywood hokey. I wish it had more budget for back story scenes and music but overall still a 10 out of 10! Matthew Marsden deserves the praise for his writing, directorial debut and his always stellar acting that made him such a huge star in Great Britain.
