Matt's Chance

God do I love indies. Every once in a while I come across a hidden gem such as this one. Loved Edward furlong ever since I was a kid and he really puts his all in this one. Matts chance shows the inner struggle of heartbreak and redemption. You don't hear about these kind of indies sometimes. But when you come across them you feel more satisfied than seeing another "Hollywood project". With colorful characters and a charming protagonist. The direction in this film has almost like a "sick" feel to it. The camera angles and color give it this very different but vibrant look. It's like candy for the eyes. While this film has its drama, it comedy is gold as well. I found myself laughing frequently when Matt would have these "daydreams". Very interesting look at the mind of a jealous man. To go with that the performances hit home too. With veterans such as Furlong, Busey, Kidder, and some new faces as well. The journey leaves you feeling a bit haunted at the end. No spoilers here but let's just say I learned a lesson about human mortality in this one. Matts chance is a fun ride with memorable performances. Check it out for your selves!
