After the glory of "Fateful Findings," we decided to give Neil Breen's first movie "Double Down" a try and it was actually really rough compared to the joy of "Fateful Findings." The bulk of the movie involves Neil Breen wandering around the Nevada desert, eating enough tuna to give him mercury poisoning, having visions of his dead girlfriend who keeps asking him to "stop time" and whose bones he carries with him in a body bag, and watching an old man die as he gives him a rock that he tries to use to cure a girl's brain cancer (it doesn't work). Over all this footage, a lot of which is repeated multiple times or stock footage, you get a voiceover of Breen explaining how awesome his character is and how he is being recritted by the government for hacking missions. I'm not entirely sure this film had a conclusion.Honestly, there's not much more I could say since this movie was so disjointed so instead here's a list of things Neil Breen likes based on the two movies we've seen by him:
- people's feet
- showing his butt
- rocks with special powers
- repeating footage
- abusing broken laptops
- free locations
- falling for a girl in elementry school and loving her still as an adult (there is some poor lady who knew Neil Breen when he was seven who wants him to stop calling her)
- government conspiracies
- being the good guy computer hacker who saves the world from corruption
- tragic death scenes that he can overact in
- magical realism (although he doesn't know how it works)
- shots that seem cool but make no logical sense
- ambiguous dialogue
- Sleeping on your stomach
- weird credits ("Location - Neil Breen", "Hair & Makeup - None", "Lighting - None")
- pretending he's David Lynch and that his movies are really deep
