You won't be disappointed!

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I don't usually exert the effort to write a review, but it's something of a crime that this movie gets such low reviews on IMDb. The other reviewers are the type of people who feel the need to cast their judgment on a film just because it doesn't fit their very narrow definition of a worthwhile film. Does The Ticket ask more questions than it answers? Sure. But you could hardly say it moves too fast to adequately deal with them. One of the beauties of this film is its slow, methodical pace. And the cinematography alone is worth your time. Don't pass judgment based on this film's reviews and decide for yourself.

This film was really rather pointless and predictable in the end. If it wasn't so suffused with obvious religious morality (since the movie assumes it must be absolutely wrong to get a divorce, get promoted/make money at work and start a new life) it could have been an interesting drama. I think it's actually insulting to people with disabilities to present the idea that if they became able they would be 'superficial' and 'mean' as a result.

The Ticket (2016)A serious movie, and sincere. The obvious thrust is the poster lines, and this is no spoiler—a man who has been blind for a decade gains his sight back. The metaphor here (and repeated throughout) is that it's like winning the lottery (hence the title of the film).Now what?Slowly (too slowly for most of us) the man goes through several broad phases as he reassesses his world, both personally and physically (viusally) around him. The euphoria, the wanting more, the doubts, the challenges, each section is simple (to the point of simplistic, I think) but heartfelt. The leading character (played by Dan Stevens) is compelling enough as a regular guy swept up with things bigger than most of us encounter. It's maybe unfair to say this isn't enough—but it isn't. It's a lot, but there needs to be other layers, complications of plot, but also nuances of feeling that someone in this situation would experience. It would not and could not be an easy arc from one zone to another. Disruption should be really ruinous and ecstatic, not a dull slow ride.Also, and an odd comment but needed to be made—the audio is weird. A lot of the film is murmured, as if people are conversing their inner best. But much of the time a gentle music also plays and it's just plain hard to hear! Mood triumphs over content, but it's not enough.

PLOT SPOILERS, although you can guess the ending, I won't state it.This is a film that is something a high school kid could come up with for a Lifetime film. James (Dan Stevens) a nice guy who is blind, gets the miracle of sight and quickly alienates everyone climbing the ladder of success. The title if from a well know blonde joke that they ruined by taking out the blonde. Oh the political correctness of it all. And yes I saw the ending coming with the sad music and the fade out and that oh we are supposed to be moved about life feeling... which the cynic in me didn't get because I have seen these types of films too many times before and this one didn't add anything new other than the blind aspect which spared the camera man from using the focus.A sappy film for people who think sappy films are deep.Guide: No swearing. Implied sex. No nudity. Does Dan Stevens look like Trump's son?
