The System (III) (2016) User Reviews

Emotionally captivating.

[Im-SoRRy-ITS-TakEN · 8/10 · 2 October 2020]

The main character is laid off from his job and beat down at every turn, getting no compassion from anyone around him, he endures and pushes through failure after failure until finally things started turning around.

Just after taking his loved one out for something special, tragedy finds its way back in, this time shattering his heart to no repair.The end was very unique and emotional, all he wants is to be with her.

i don't get why those guys were "on" the bus just seemed random, badly planned decision that ended up with them getting nothing out of it, besides that quarter. seems like it was just for plot.

Other than that it was an amazing movie i would recommend.

Heart wrenching

[wildblueyonder · 8/10 · 5 July 2020]

Its a very bleak, gritty film about the rigors of what a hard world we live in, and how it just grinds some people right up.

Very well done.

Thought provoking and emotionally charged

[FoxyMorticia · 10/10 · 16 August 2018]

I went into the film without knowing much about it. I was already emotionally fractured, due to a major bereavement, but boy did I not realise how grief stricken and bereft I would be by the end of the film.

The film is about Martin McMillan, played so majestically by Jamie Vergan, who is made redundant and then things just get from bad to worse. I won't go into too much detail about what he goes through, but it is a roller coaster ride to beat all roller coaster rides. We go through all the emotions with him as he tries to obtain employment for the sake of his family, and his sanity.

Just when you think things are getting better it looks like Martin had opened Pandora's Box instead of his final pay cheque. There is emotion from all angles coming into the fore, from tears to laughter to outright fear.

There will be comparisons to I, Daniel Blake but I must admit, I much preferred this film. It contains even more raw power for me. I understood exactly where Martin was coming from as I have experienced some of what he was going through.

I spent the end of the film in floods of tears with the utterly compelling storyline and the effect of Martin's actions, which damage more than he could have wished for.

Please watch the film and decide for yourself, me, I adored it and put The System firmly into my favourites. The acting is superb by everyone, especially from the main man himself, Jamie. Australia has produced some amazing films, and this is definitely one to watch. Be prepared though, if like me you will need a big box of hankies to wipe the tears away by the end of the film, whether they are because of joy or devastation I will leave you to watch the film to find out for yourself which it is. Well done Eddie Arya, you have excelled yourself.

how much do good reviews cost?

I'll assume that where most of this "films" budget went.

Fantastic viewing

I found this movie very suspenseful. Wassim Hawat manages to make the character his own with a powerful performance. Will definitely watch again!

Great acting

It is a great movie to watch, wassim was also very good in his part, i hope he will be in more films

It's worse than The Room by Tommy Wiseau

[andrewtraint · 1/10 · 6 April 2024]

It's funny to look at the reviews and ratings of this "film". In fact, it's hard to call it a "film". This "something" is so bad that you are amazed that resources and time were wasted on "this". I would like to give a negative rating, but unfortunately this cannot be done, just as it is unfortunately impossible to prohibit at the legislative level the making of such a "movie". I would also like to be compensated for moral damages! And so on in order.. Terrible acting by all the actors in the frame! Horrible directing! Horrible storytelling! No cause and effect relationship! Tasteless and simply terrible script! It's funny to look at obviously bought and false reviews with a rating of "10/10", apparently such ratings were given by relatives and friends of the creators of "this".

The creators of "this", for the benefit of all humanity, stop making movies! Go work as loaders, this is a respected and important job, bring at least some real benefit to humanity.

Gripping

Great job, another fantastic Aussie flik I was attracted to this as I have been following Wassim Hawat's work lately acting/producing, that particular scene with the rifle drawn on him showed me yet more range to his talent. I did not think he had that broad diversity, I was mistaken!! Great job by all.

Great scene

[davidhong-16112 · 10/10 · 7 April 2020]

Great Film the action scenes and Wassim did an amazing job as a guest appearance
