Sollers Point

It was engaging but the opposite of uplifting. Probably what the director wanted. I didn't feel much sympathy for the central character. He was totally self centered and had no understanding that decisions and actions have consequences. Almost pathological in nature. At the end of the film you are left with two possibilities - he'll end up back in prison or he'll meet an early death.

acting was ok but there was no plot ended the same way it began, nowhere

I enjoyed what i watched, and it was a well acted and interesting story, but there was simply no ending. the movie built up all these potentially dynamic character interactions and then just rolled the credits at the climax without giving us any closure.

I cant believe how bad it is

Made me feel tense the whole way through and was wondering when it would get to the point. Never happened and ended with nothing.

Realism carries this indie. McCaul Lombardi stars as Keith, who is serving the final days of his 9 month home detention after a prison stretch. He's living with his father (Jim Belushi), in Baltimore, despite their strained relationship. Like with numerous movies of this genre, Keith will have to decide whether he will return to his old ways or go down a more positive path. You want to root for him, but he sure doesn't make it easy for you with his often bad decisions, as well as exhibiting his mercurial and violent side, on occasion. Overall, the film kept my interest enough to want to know how it would all turn out, but don't expect any easy answers or it all to be "wrapped up in a neat bow".

Why do critics like these stupid movies? The only reason I watched is because I grew up in the area. This movie lacked content, the plot, well I did not really see one. There was no action or drama in my opinion. I mean the story just limped along with no real ending.

Both raw and intimate with an extremely uninhibited feel, and although I found the main character infuriating at times, Lombardi did very well to create that feeling. Def some bias here based on the setting too...

Be on the lookout for McCaul Lombardi, who more than carries 'Sollers Point', an under the radar indy written and directed by Matthew Porterfield. There are a lot of people in the low budget flick who appear to be 1st time actors who really can't act, but Lombardi isn't one of them. The script may run a little thin and there may be a character added here or there that cold have been cut, but when Lombardi is on the screen he's a force. There are plenty of problems namely the ending. The lead character is written to have so many various emotions that's it's hard to get a gauge on who he is. That doesn't change from start to finish. The conclusion is mystifying. It lacks sense and cohesion. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try to seek this out. You can tell this narratively is a bit of a mess based on the deleted scene section, however it's worthwhile to see a future star. Final Score: 6.7/10
