August Audience Reviews

Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
snhoward24 Maybe because I was 14 in August of 2001 is the reason I have no clue what this movie is about. I have no clue what their company is or does. I'm not very familiar with stock market either, but I do know enough to get the basics but I was still lost. The acting was okay but I just don't think it's a plot that will reach many people. Then again it's an Indie film and not meant to be a blockbuster. I have watched other movies based on stocks or finance and understood them perfectly so maybe it's really a time period movie. This movie will probably resonate better with people who were aware of the dot com explosion and then downfall.
tomasz42 I saw "Doubt" last night, how precious!Here I come to do something honourable with Reality, like now, local and global pressures mounting. I can do this because the six-seven bridging MementoMinistries are in place here in Canada, but I am only one man so it's going slowly. Just think of the relationship between Nitrogen and Oxygen for now.LandShard is the local "silly-cone valley" venture that shall not be mentioned again. For the thing there is InstaForest, truly a wonder of evil I have made with our crisis and some children. UltraStar: technological singularity I command, suggest Collapsing with HTML6.0.God damnit I am not asking for money (imdb: hold me to this), but I do not have a home let alone a credit card to make this connection. I have pages about August the film and physics, quite cool I think.
srubey When "reviewing a movie" keep your feelings out of it. I'm not your friend.Facts on "August": Product placement in this movie is so smart I bet it was written into the script purposely because it pushed the plot: When the lead male in this film is asking his brother (supporting) to come with him on a nearly impossible business venture; there is a "FedEx" truck in the background. The writer is obviously thinking. The actors are all full. Rip Torn as the fiery father (uh yea) and David Bowie even say's to someone in this movie "I don't like your style" and at another point David says to the same character "You fool people."Okay perhaps it best suits Men in their 20's. But that doesn't change the fact that smart and sweet people made this film come to life and that as the credits rolled a got a text from by little bro.Hartnett your the man at playing the man. I gotta find someone to pay me to be your little bro in a movie, so if I'm taller than you I'll just crouch."BET Black"
Lea Simpson OK, I have to agree with many people and say that this film was boring and waste of time. I obviously did not see a plot and the story line made no sense. The entire movie was about saving a company... who wants to watch a movie on that? Come on now.. Josh Harnett acted the part real good but the plot goes over my head. The best part and most interesting to me was his relations with Sarrah and when they just vanished her out of the movie there was really nothing else.. That was the only story line that this movie had not some stupid company going down in August a month before 9/11!! Who cares??? People watch movies to be entertained.. not lectured and that is what this movie gave me.. nothing made any sense besides his relationship with Sarrah..
