The Worst Action Movie Ever Is An Honest Tragedy Or Elaborate Pranks, Hidden From Everyone

Written by Robert Scucci | Published 33 seconds ago

Where Tommy Wiseau’s The room saw its release in 2003, it didn’t take long for audiences and critics alike to hail it as “The The Citizen Kane of bad movies.” Wiseau, who wrote, directed, produced, edited, and personally financed the film and stars, decided to backtrack and said that the film was always intended to be a dark comedy rather than the serious drama he originally intended to create. However, there is one movie that confuses me the most The roomand Neil Breen’s Down twice.

down twice, Breen, which debuted in 2005, boasts the same style as Wiseau’s work, but plays it so straight that I’m not really sure he’s sincere and deceptive, or our generation’s Andy Kauffman in the sense that he’s been taunting his audience for twenty years for Breen’s love. the game.

Skepticism or Cynicism?

Down twice it’s supposed to be a suspenseful thriller about shadow ops, hacking, natural terrorism, grief, and revenge. The film’s synopsis on IMDB is “the controversial story of a lone artist who shuts down the Las Vegas Strip … The government can’t stop him. As he meets his dead girlfriend every night.”

On paper, and at face value, Down twice it feels like a cross between Hackers and John Wick films, but what is shown on the screen could not be further from the meaning of the film. I can only conclude that this synopsis was written by Neil Breen, who, like Wiseau, wrote, directed, produced, edited, financed himself, and stars in his film.

Terrorism Has a Tuna Side

Neil Breen plays Aaron Brand in the Down twiceand he is Jack, and master of all crafts. He’s a genius with remote access to every government satellite, and his list of accomplishments is almost as ridiculous as his denim vest that adorns his various honors (of which there are many). After Aaron becomes “digitally and electronically empowered,” the Secret Strategic Support Branch of the Defense Intelligence Agency he has worked closely with in the past feels threatened by his abilities and kills his girlfriend.

In a flashback sequence, Aaron floats upside down, completely naked, in a swimming pool next to his dead girlfriend after screaming “uggghhh!” when he was shot and killed by a sniper hiding in the distance.

After receiving an order from another country to shut down the Las Vegas Strip for two months, Aaron gets to work with his “small, smart setup,” which consists of five laptops, a couple of flip phones, and a couple of Dish Network satellites. attached to the trunk of his Mercedes.

Living a lonely life in the desert to carry out many of his acts of terrorism in secret, Aaron drives around eating dried tuna from a can despite the fact that he is also a millionaire. While many of Breen’s photo dumps suggest that Aaron Brand is a high-profile money-grubber, the biggest threat to humanity while trying to drive and eat at the same time, undermines the premise of the film entirely.

Lack of Self-Awareness or Joking?

It may sound like I’m making all this up, but Down twice he is full of contradictions and surprises that make me wonder if Breen is in on the joke.

Down twice it features anthrax-laced strawberries, a botched honeymoon murder, secret government meetings held in grocery store parking lots in broad daylight, breaking into a Ferrari with a flip phone, curing brain cancer with a mysterious stone, and Neil Breen sitting behind his. car while clicking on a few laptops that don’t seem to be open.

If you’re a “Breeniac” like me, you’ll notice that the type of technology featured in Down twice it’s a through line in all six of Neil Breen’s films, like it Sad Findingswhich are equally integrated.

Double Down Double Down

Tommy Wiseau may have reunited The room as a dark comedy, but Neil Breen has been “doubling down” on the fact that he’s a legitimate filmmaker, and that he’s the real deal. Whether you’re in on the joke or not, I’m grateful for the fact that I was born into a world where Neil Breen exists because I get so much joy from tearing through his movies that I might as well go insane for sure.

When you don’t get it Down twice anywhere in the broadcast, you can listen to GenreVision podcast if you’re willing to fall into the same Breen pit I’m currently trying to escape.
