Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Frances Chung

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

An Above Average, Little Seen, DTV Movie that has for Your Viewing Pleasure Two Actors that can be as Intense and Scary as They Like. it is a Treat to Watch these two Ham it Up and Fully Embrace the Characters in this Film.Both are On the Edge, Eric Roberts because He is the Prime Suspect in a Series of Hatchet Killings that Always Occur in His Proximity, and Lance Henriksen because He is Clutching a Steel Briefcase. The Plot Informs that a Million Dollars Plus had been Stolen from a Casino and the Thief is on the Run.When these Two Meet Up it is a Reluctant Pairing with a Blackmail Threat and the Thing is Tied Together with some Loose Threads that are too Glaring to Ignore. Some Stuff Happens that if Given a Moticum of Thought come Unraveled and Reveal Some Big Holes.But if Given Enough Freedom to Stretch Things Beyond Believability there is a Chance that the Suspense and Mystery will Suck You into its Irrationality. If so it is More than Passable and these Two Psycho-Stars are Always Worth a Watch.

The uneasy understanding between Jack and Adrian thoroughly involves the viewer, and progresses towards an exciting and unexpected conclusion. I purposely watched "Nature of the Beast" twice just to be certain the ending holds up to logic, and it certainly does. This second viewing was just as enjoyable, though somewhat different than the first, because I was watching from a new perspective. I give the movie a ten rating only to help raise the unbelievably low IMDb rating, although it is a solid 8.0 under any circumstances. The acting, character development, locations, music, are all great, and this is a true "sleeper" that will leave your friends who view it astonished. - MERK

I've seen enough movies to know this genre, and this movie reminded me a lot of the movie "Switchback" with Danny Glover. Its the same old crazy hitchhiker type theme, but with some differences added.Lance and Eric are both amazing actors, and you have to give them props for their work here too. They are believable in their roles, and keep character the entire movie. Their scenes together were tensed and uncomfortable but that was exactly how it should have gone. I applaud them both. The movie was a bit on the slower side, because of its mystery nature, and really its more about situational tension than anything else. Still, I kept watching so I was interested enough to see what happens and the actors were a big part of that.I agree with the guy above me in that the ending was a bit on the disappointing side. The twists still got me good actually, and I was OK with them, but I agree they were forced and probably should have been smoothed over better by redoing the last 15 minutes or so. Its one of those movies where they just sorta end and you like "What!"So as I said, worth watching, but because of a little forced direction could have been better.

Just knew the moment that this picture start out with a BBQ sign and a car that seemed to move back and forth, like love making was going on inside, this was going to be a wild film to watch and enjoy. Eric Roberts,"Break a Leg",'05, had some real mental problems and was driving up and down a highway, from one diner, motel and vehicle he could find available. However, Eric decides to latch onto Lance Henriksen, "Dream Warrior",'04, who looked like a nice easy mark to latch onto and pester to death, which he did very well through out the picture. There are murders going on left and right and a person who has a million bucks he was able to steal from a casino. There are many twists and turns during the picture and the ending will shock you completely. There is even a Bible quotation from a prophet at the ending.
