Watch this if...you want a movie to spark your interest and then slowly put you to sleep.Acting/Casting: 5* - I love Ron Perlman and without his acting and character in this movie, this could have been much worse. Nothing else to talk about but average acting by an overall average cast.Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 4* - The directing is nothing to brag about in this film. It doesn't appear to have a clear ending in mind and leaves the audience wondering why they wasted their time with such a pointless and unsatisfying film. I did like a few of the scenes where they incorporate stories into the puzzle, but not much else.Plot/Characters: 2* - Wow. Since there was not much of a plot, there isn't much to say. A down on his luck guy is offered money to euthanize a man by choking him, but in the meantime struggles with the notion and falls in love with a waitress along the way.Entertainment Value: 3* - As I said, I feel asleep three times while trying to get through this movie. The beginning grabs your interest and the ending lets you down. The in between isn't that entertaining either.My Score: 5+4+2+3 = 14/4 = 3.5Email your thoughts to [email protected]

My review of this title will be short and to the point.I agree with other reviewers in the sense that the screenplay...really could have benefited...from a little more development and thought.Where I disagree is that I still found it to be a film...worth watching and interesting enough to hold my attention.In a time of cookie cutter... element reproduction, this film is at the very least unique and that is a big plus in my book.Also Ron Perlman did a great job as usual.On a Side note The IMDb requirement that A review must contain at least 10 Lines is bologna :)

Not even the actors have a definite idea what "The Job" is about, evidenced by their lack of conviction in the special features. Initially you are introduced to some colorful characters, specifically those played by Ron Perlman and Joe Pantoliano. Unfortunately, only the first hour of the screenplay seems to be developed, and beyond that point the wheels come off completely. The movie requires total suspension of disbelief as regards a certain sleeping bag, and although a puzzle with one missing piece is prominently featured, the entire film plays like a puzzle with an enormous amount of missing pieces. - MERK

Yikes.I have find ten lines to tell you about it. There is only one recognizable cast member. RON PEARLMAN, he does a good job, The actor in the lead role sleepwalks through it. The same applies to rest of cast, There is no life to the cast nor the story.. This was written, directed & produced by one person, that I never heard of before,nor wish to hear about again,There is nothing in this piece of garbage, that I can say anything decent about.I think this is 10 lines.RATINGS: * (out of 4) 30 POINTS (out of 100)IMDb 1 (out of 10)
