This review is from: Beatnicks (DVD)

This is a great movie definitly different from other movies. Norman Reedus did an amazing job in this movie. This movie has a dark feel to it and so do the characters.

The Beat Nicks are musician Nick Nero(Norman Reedus) and poet Nick Beat(Mark Boone Junior), a pair of self-styled truth-seekers who'd better find a gig or they'll be out on the street. Their luck begins to change when they find a box on the beach, a treasure chest of infinite beats that will set the stage for the ultimate success, a gig at the Monkey Club. But when Nick Nero falls in love with Nica(Élodie Bouchez), the club owners captive bride, he learns that they are some truths better left unsought. Hard knocks and a trip to rock bottom reunites the Nicks to preform the gig of a lifetime, and return the box to its source.

I'd recommend this movie to others definitly.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique independent comedy that you'll be sure to love, March 11, 2010

This review is from: Beatnicks (DVD)

The Beatnicks is one of the strangest and most unique indie flicks I've seen in a long time. Its dreamlike sequences and quirky characters definitely makes it a must-see for anyone who's into great independent comedies.

The film stars both Norman Reedus and Mark Boone Jr. as Nick Nero and Nick Beat, respectively. Both are struggling artists looking to hit it big, and risk becoming homeless in the process. Down on their luck and struggling to find that one special gig, they find a hidden treasure buried by a strange little monkey.

This treasure chest of infinite beats gives them the chance to turn their life around, but Nero could lose it all when he becomes entangled with Nica (ÉlodieBouchez), the fiancé of mafioso nightclub owner Mack Drake (Eric Roberts).

One gig at the Monkey Club can decide their fate and the true origin of the treasure chest.
Both Reedus and Boone Jr. deliver phenomenal performances early in their career, considering the movie was made in 2000. Check it out. It's well worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Norman Reedus shines in "The Beatnicks", March 10, 2010

This review is from: Beatnicks (DVD)

With an underground fanbase of thousands of people, the star power of people like Norman Reedus, Mark Boone Jr., Elodie Bouchez, and Eric Roberts, "The Beatnicks" is one of those movies that exemplifies a "cult hit".

"The Boondock Saints" is one of my all-time favorite movies, so when I heard that Reedus was in another film that came out around the same time, I knew I had to see it.

It's a really cool film with a laid-back feel about two guys (named Nick) trying to make it in LA. They finally get their big break, encounter some romance, and begin to see their true purpose in life.

Eric Roberts is great as Mack Drake, a hardened LA club-owner, and Elodie Bouchez plays his wife who gets a little too close to one of the Nicks.

If you're looking for an entertaining independent film, with a lot of great star power and an awesome soundtrack, "The Beatnicks" is definitely for you.
