In the world of acting, the term “wooden” is used to describe an actor’s stiff and uninspired delivery of lines. To put it softly, if you replaced everyone in the film with logs, the logs would’ve given a better performance. What followed gave me a stark realization: The most hilariously awful quality about “Fateful Findings” is the acting. Our minds were unable to process what we had witnessed and could only resort to emitting laughter to try and comprehend what had just occurred. We have no idea why Breen included Jim in the, thus we feel no sympathy for Jim or his family.Īs the gun discharged and Jim falls to the ground-in one of the most awkwardly acted, shot and executed death scenes in cinematic history-my roommates and I erupted into a frenzied state of confused laughter. After Jim’s murder, we never hear from Amy or Aly ever again. No example is more baffling than the subplot between Dylan’s alcoholic friend, Jim (played by David Silva) his wife, Amy (played by Victoria Vivieros) and daughter, Aly (played by Danielle Andrade).ĭuring the film, Amy gets increasingly frustrated with Jim’s alcoholic antics, so she eventually shoots Jim dead and frames him for suicide. government officials and the greed of big corporations.Īs absurd as this storyline sounds, the inane beauty of “Fateful Findings” is not the main plot, but the random and out-of-place subplots that Breen throws in throughout the movie. government in order to expose the corruption and injustices of U.S. This rock gives Dylan strange and supernatural powers, such as surviving getting hit by a car, phasing through doors, paranormal activity and, most importantly, the ability to hack into the U.S. After Leah moves away, Dylan holds onto the rock all the way into adulthood. Here’s what I could comprehend as the movie’s plot: Childhood friends Dylan (played by Breen) and Leah (played by Jennifer Autry) are playing in the forest when they stumble upon a mysterious box containing a magical black rock.

The plot of “Fateful Findings” is muddled and meandering. We had throbbing headaches, hoarse voices, and were 100 minutes closer to our inevitable demises.

On the TV was an infamous cult classic hit: 2013 fantasy drama “ Fateful Findings, ” a mind-numbing, belly-busting, head-scratching, tour de force of a film directed, starring, and written by Neil BreenĪfter the one hour and 40-minute run time had ended, we were left aghast at what we had witnessed. “Wait, what!?” “Why!?” “What is happening!?” were some of the outbursts my roommates and I uttered as we stared at a TV screen in dumbfounded awe.
