Not a bad movie. Not the greatest I have ever seen, but it was a good mystery. I think a little more detail at the end would have been nice, but other than that I give it a 3 out of five. I was impressed with the writing, the plot, and the ending. However I think if you didn't wait around until the end to tie it all together this might have proved to be a very confusing movie that left a lot of people not actually taking the time to finish it.
June 11, 2008The Nines is in a lot of ways confusing. You don't really know where you stand at the end but it makes you think about who you are and what you are in ways you didn't think was possible.
May 20, 2008Like most movies these days, this one starts with an interesting concept and then somewhere everything goes wrong. Rent this movie and then send me the 15 dollars you saved by not buying it. There is really nothing to this movie. There is no mystery or suspense. Everything is spelled out to you along the way in plain english. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because the acting was good. Unfortunately that does not save this movie from disaster. You are welcome in advance.
April 19, 2008I rented this movie because I love Ryan Reynolds, but the movie was really disappointing. It was so complicated that I only watched it because of Ryan's good looks. I know it sounds superficial, but why do they have to make movies so damn complicated. I hated it.

The Nines is a remarkable film by John August. He is the genius who wrote the A.D.D./drug addled, raver cult classic Go and Tim Burton's beautiful love story, Big Fish. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds playing three separate, and sometimes overlapping, characters in the three short films that make up this one story. He blows the top off this movie with his portrayal of a writer, a troubled actor, and a video game designer. This is one of the most original films that I have seen in a long time. I would have to say that Reynolds has finally broke through as a serious actor and shed the stigma of being another National Lampoons' puppet. After watching this movie, I had to wonder why he ever did such horrendous trash as Van Wilder. The movie is hard to follow but it pays off. It's a confusing concept but the director is able to pull everything together solidly by the end of the last short. I hope this is the new direction that filmmakers are going to take. Or at least they should. John August has set a new standard, and it's going to be hard for anyone to keep up with him.
Go BUY this one... NOW!!!!!
