Review of Fateful Findings (2013) by Raspberry M — 01 Jul 2017

Cheese lovers may appreciate the terrible acting, editing, sound mixing, cinematography, special effects, plot development, character development, general direction. They are all bad, in the same way that Birdemic is bad.

This is clearly the work of an amateur. I forgive that much, especially since I find cheese to have great entertainment potential. I have a qualm, though. Whereas Birdemic pushes a vague environmentalist agenda that, if anything, has its heart in the right place, I am not sure where director-screenwriter-producer-main star Neil Breen (yeah, one of those) has his heart.

Fateful Findings is a sci-fi-political thriller-romantic drama. You know how, say, The Room indulges fully in the melodrama of its corrupted love triangle? Wiseau clearly has a lot of heart in the pitfalls of his character's romantic life.

Breen takes his character idly through everything that happens to him. Strange superpowers? Whatever. Government and corporate corruption? Of course. My wife is addicted to meds? Get over it. My best friend killed himself? Nah, that ain't him.

And damn it, I will continue to defend Wiseau for his respect towards suicidal victims. Better saccharine than inconsequential. SPOIL--Fuck that. Not only does one major character kill herself (not the best friend, actually), but so do the entire "government" and leading corporate figures.

So if everyone was incriminated, who brings the punishment? And Breen has no remorse, and truly believes he should not be held accountable for any of his actions. Birdemic cast had remorse for their evil gas-guzzling ways, The Room cast had remorse for their evil two-timing ways.

If Fateful Findings were not so weird and entertainingly bad, I would deem this unwatchable to anyone who has the time to see literally anything else.
