Disturbing yet enthralling

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Yes, Karina's story crucial to the plot. I love the way that she get more and more distraught about the situasion and finally she donate her own life to show Adam the error of his ways "The syringe's heavy speech" is a poem i wrote about it. It's about Karina's story. Beatiful movie = 10/10

This movie had several real life elements which I can see why some people didn't like the movie. First there is desperation and the depression and sense of foreboding failure that comes with desperation. Poverty, which is corrosive and on the opposite end of the spectrum its equally as corrosive twin, greed. Hidden in the undertones is the deprivation of our society in to a reality culture where anything goes and the more outlandish the more attention and exposure it receives. The final and most shocking premise is that as a culture that is angry, decadent and ready to lash out even death can be used as a tool. In the end, those caring and compassionate souls won as some would call the moral hero's but not before many were used as expendable pawns, collateral damage for a damaged world. Sound familiar?The acting was good, plot solid and overall it was worth the watch. How good the movie is and what you get out of it will largely depend on how open are your eyes, heart and mind.

This film tells the story of a reality TV host, who witnesses a murder and a suicide on his program. Instead of being fired, the studio asks him to host a new game show, in which they do live broadcast of people committing suicide for money."This Is Your Death" is a very powerful film. It keeps me interested and engaged all along, because the lack of morality of the story is just too disturbing to ignore. It provokes thoughts and discussion regarding assisted suicide. The idea of broadcasting it live for TV ratings is a big moral and ethical question as well. The story is very disturbing and appalling, but the thing is that it is believable. It is a great film with an original and unbelievably gripping story.

The story/writing was very interesting and what hooked me into watching this film. Right from the start, the score was overbearing. All the main actors except for Giancarlo Esposito (who's performance was outstanding) gave a poor performance, especially Josh Duhamel. What's with this guys cone-head helmet hair? The directing was decent but could have been much better, especially in directing the actors to better perform as most were unconvincing. It's a shame, as this film had a lot of potential. Still, a decent watch and a 7/10 from me.
