Charming and brutal

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Mark is rejected by one more movie project. Permanent looser Mark is living in a wrecked house which he can't pay for the rent for three months together with his brother in wheel chair. His life is falling apart with his failures at job and problems with his girl friend. Leading role in his friend's movie sounds for him like the solution to everything. The script of Pierce who is an impenitent alcoholic coincides whit what we are watching. We can't be sure if the movie they want to make at this specific day is what we are watching or they are inspired by this day for their movie. After such shrewd start, movie presents 90 minutes laughters to us.Tragedies one after another don't change Mark's indifferent attitude to life even when he has lost almost everything. Mark's astonishment and Pierce's reactions are main objects of the movie represents British comedy manner. What is happening to them is too much absurd even for a movie according to a movie writer Pierce he says but they again find the solution in a scenario idea.Everything is fabulously funny in this good sample of British comedy which resembles "Shaun of Dead" and "Hot Fuzz". A Film With Me In It, second movie of Ian Fitzgibbon has various critics like his first job but still it attracts attention in some Festivals include Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA).

The idea is fantastic. A bunch of people keep having deadly accidents in the apartment of a broke wannabe-actor. Now he has to avoid looking like a deranged serial killer while the bodies start piling up and his best friend tries to write a movie around the whole thing. Tucker & Dale Versus Evil uses one half of that plot, and it is hilarious. 7 Psychopaths uses the other half, and it's brilliant. One would think that a black-humoured British amalgam of both ideas, starring Dylan Moran of Black Books and Shaun of the Dead would be even better. One would be very, very mistaken. The first wasted opportunity is casting Dylan Moran not as the lead, but as the grumpy alcoholic screenwriter friend who plays second fiddle to Mark Doherty. Doherty is unable to make his character likable, or what happens to him intriguing. Instead, he sleepwalks through the movie like a robot telling a joke. The next big flaw is the soundtrack, or lack thereof. Combined with the bad pacing, you never get a sense of events escalating. Instead, it's a string of the same thing happening over and over again until the film ends with an unlikely and unsatisfying denouement, while the subplots go nowhere. So much wasted potential. This could have been a sleeper hit with a cult following. And it turned out to be bargain bin fodder that's just not worth watching. At all. Stay away.

Once again, we have a script concept that is promising enough to matter. Once again, we have an inept film built on that idea, inept because the writer wanted to be in it.The overall shape is an ordinary, explicit fold: one buddy is a blocked film writer, the other and unemployed actor. Noir-inspired events transpire, messing with them while "giving them material" for a film we discover at the end is the film we are seeing. That shape is common. What is clever is the dialog that jumps from one side of the line to another, in and out of the movie, realizing that "out" is really "in." There are roles that are designated viewers: loyal dog, crippled brother, lecherous landlord, allsuffering girlfriend, kind policewoman. Each is developed as noir center then dispatched in the same tone that the dialog uses in dismissing genre ideas. It is really quite a brilliant script idea. If anyone could pull it off, it would be the Irish. They invented this. But alas, the film does not have enough energy to let us know when it is changing direction. You need sound to have music.Ted's Evaluation -- 2 of 3: Has some interesting elements.

I'm personally a big fan of Dylan Moran. His stand-up makes me laugh, I enjoy the movies he's been in, and I like his couldn't-be-arsed exterior. Overall, I think he's a pretty cool guy.But, for me, this movie was a bit of a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I did get a couple of giggles out of it, but I felt like it could have been better. It was fairly good, but it could have been excellent if it had been worked on a bit more, teased out a little.The opening and the introduction to the characters was sloppy, which took the edge off for me (call me old-fashioned, but I like to know who everyone is before launching into all the plot twists and whodunits). Also, the tone at the beginning is constantly changing from funny to serious, which leaves the audience unsure of how to react when the various characters start getting offed. Should we be upset? Laughing? Afraid? So, I thought A Film With Me In It was a good film. It just needed a little tightening and trimming of the fat. Then, it could be perfect.
