alexharbinson767 I see this film as an interesting spin on the 'best friends for life' direction. Hewlett and Miller have good on-screen interaction and their characters really bounce well off each other. I agree the plot could be seen as very flat, it does seem like it takes a while to move from one point to another but strangely it suits this amble through the laid back plot. Don't expect to understand what's happening, it's not a film about understanding vast complexities, such as the aforementioned Cube or Primer, but stands as a general story of confusion and friendship. Logical details are overlooked most of the time, which can be frustrating when you want to understand aspects of the plot more, but these things don't really need explanation in the grand scheme of the film. It would, however, have been better to see more focused points of conflict to give the viewer a greater idea of where the plot is headed, the ambiguity of the direction it takes did tire after a short time.As a fan of other films Hewlett has been in, I appreciate his style of acting in Nothing, this seemed to be a perfectly feasible character for him to be, though I do still believe the nihilist Hewlett is most entertaining. I can't recall having seen Miller in anything else, however I will be looking out for his name in features to come.Worth a watch, nothing mega special but a fun experience.

KitsunegariBlu This is a true review.No really, it's been verified, read and even spell checked, so it's absolutely true.Yeah, I watch too many flix, but eh, who cares. I stumble across the coolest ones now and then. And I can definitely say I stumbled across one now. So just hang on a sec, while I get my horse.It's a cool little 90min R rated flick from 2003 called "Nothing". Vincenzo Natali directed it and wrote it with Andrew Miller. It's one of those lovable hard to categorize sorts of films. Mostly a Comedy, with some SciFi-Fantasy chucked in. Which in a nutshell, and take it from me, they're both nutz, is about the real meaning of Friendship and what people think is important.And because I'm talking about it, yes, you guessed, that yes indeed a SG-1/SG-Atlantis star is in it.That star happens to be David Hewlett (for those less in the real world than I, I'm talking about "Dr. Rodney McKay" ) who the writers take a big imaginative leap by granting the incredibly outlandish name of...Dave. I know big stretch. Andrew Miller is Dave's best friend since childhood Andrew, and coincidentally, or not, also the other lead.Considering the movie really consists of just the two of them for a fair portion of the film, I can honestly say, that I still found it amusing, and thought that as usual Hewlett managed to convey his neurotic-isms in a fairly believable fashion. And that Miller brought a sort of touching, humor that wasn't heavy handed or horribly contrived to a subject rarely ever seriously covered in films, and when it is, it's usually some throw away red herring in a psychological thriller. Agoraphobia.We can't be dead, we have cable so watch "Nothing" if it's on. If not. Rent it from your local videostore like I did. Odd little bit of trivia, his former spouse, Soo Garay plays the Campfire girls Mum in this film. Also, make sure you watch it until the very end. Yes, even after the closing credits.Are there things I didn't mention? Sure. Are there things that will be funnier in this review once you see the movie? Most certainly. Either way, enjoy. Love, Grace & Peace, GunnerYou're right. The nothingness looks, feels & bounces like tofu... which, ironically, tastes like nothing~Dave- Nothing

Homer Simpson I'd give this piece of crap a 0 but I am forced to give it a 1 as it's the lowest permitted. This is a piece of garbage. Worse. A piece of garbage. Worse! All the jerky camera movements made me feel like barfing, not to mention the horrible and ULTRA annoying "acting". The best actor was the damned turtle. The plot? SUCKED! You don't care for the characters. They are retarded. You want them to die. You want this stupid college artsy-fartsy thing to end. You press the "stop" button about 30 minutes in; you at least give it a chance. After returning the rental back to the store you give the clerk an earful and spit on her face. Then you never EVER mention it again; you don't even recommend it to your enemies.

exeter-10 Tweaked a little bit, 'Nothing' could be a children's film. It's a very clever concept, touches upon some interesting metaphysical themes, and goes against pretty much every Hollywood convention you can think of...what goes against everything more than, literally, "nothing"? Nothing is the story of two friends who wish the world away when everything goes wrong with their lives. All that's left is what they don't hate, and a big empty white space. It's hard to focus a story on just two actors for the majority of your film, especially without any cuts to anything going on outside the plot. It focuses on pretty much one subject, but that's prime Vincenzo Natali territory. If you've seen 'Cube', you know already that he tends to like that type of situation. The "nothing" in this movie is apparently infinite space, but Natali somehow manages to make it somewhat claustrophobic, if only because there's literally nothing else, and nowhere else to go. The actors sell it, although you can tell these guys are friends anyway. Two actors from 'Cube' return here (Worth and Kazan), but are entirely different characters. They change throughout the story, and while they're not the strongest actors in the world, they're at least believable.The reason I say this could be a children's film under the right tweaks, is because aside from a few f-bombs and a somewhat unnecessary bloody dream sequence, the whimsical and often silly feel of this movie could very much be digested easily by kids. So I find it an odd choice that the writers decided to add some crass language and a small amount of gore, especially considering there isn't very much of it. This could've gotten a PG rating easily had they simply cut a few things out and changed a little dialogue. There is very little objectionable about this film, but just enough to keep parents from wanting their kids to see it. I only say that's a shame because not because I support censorship, but because that may have been the only thing preventing this movie from having wider exposure.At any rate, this is a reasonably entertaining film, albeit with a few dragged-out scenes. But for literally being about nothing, and focused entirely on two characters and their interactions with absolutely nothing, they do a surprisingly good job for an independent film.
