A self-aware movie about a tire that becomes self aware and goes on a killing spree.
Somehow the people watching the movie fit into the plot, in that some of the characters in the movie are aware that there is an audience and know they need to keep going through the motions while the audience is watching.
It's strange.
Also the pacing is really terrible. Yeah, fine, it is an independent movie... but how can someone know enough to create a movie, but not realize that the 5th time we see the killer tire go through the 20 second cycle of sound effects leading up to a telekinetic murder that it really gets tiring? How can you sit through the editing process and not realize that?
Anyway, different sort of flick. Sort of reminded me of I Heart Huckabees in style.

Rubber - Yay! Netflix.
The more I think about it, the more I don't like it.
I think it's clever, but executed poorly. If there's no reason for anything, why am I watching the movie? Answer: I want to be entertained, and voila, I just broke the logic behind the movie.
What disturbs me more is how pretentious Rubber is in rubbing its concept into the viewer's face every other second. I was not shocked to see that the guy who wrote and directed it is French. Zing!
Best part of the movie? The girl. She was good in the one scene where she had lines, and was awesome enough to get naked, then actually have her body critiqued harshly, and very accurately!
This is one of those odd movies I'd recommend film lovers see at least once...but for free.
Oh, and the guy behind this film, also made this:

“Activism is a way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.” - Dr Thomas Sowell
