One of the most warped dark comedies I've seen

Ryan Reynolds plays a man who has the tendencies of a serial killer, but is trying to resist the urge, but looses it when his work crush Fiona, played by Gemma Arterton, stands him up sending him down that path.

It's a black comedy of the darkest kind as we get to see the inside of a mad man's head and it's pretty disturbing.

It's Pretty funny as well. Ryan Reynolds hears voices in his head which he projects through his Cat and Dog. It's a pretty sick story, made sicker by how colorful the whole film is. It almost feels like a Broadway musical without any music.

Reynolds did a great job of playing a psychopath. His comedic timing worked well in this Dark comedy. his supporting cast of Arterton, Anna Kendrick and Jaki Weaver were great as well.

I recommend seeing it. it's laugh out loud funny.

Deeply unsettling and strange

I have to appreciate the sheer strangeness of this movie, even if I'm not sure I actually enjoyed it. I'm not even sure it was meant to be enjoyed.

While not especially gory by the standards of this type of film, "The Voices" includes some imagery that I found profoundly disturbing - chiefly those plastic containers Ryan Reynolds so carefully stacks in his apartment. I almost turned the thing off at that point. But I stuck with it, and I guess I'm glad I did, though I could have done without the goofy, over-the-top sequence that plays under the closing credits.

Many others have commented on the clever shifts and pointed contrasts between Reynolds' delusional world view and the ugly reality of his circumstances. What I've found interesting is trying to determine just where his hallucinations end.

At one point, he sees a news report that his first victim's body has been found in the woods. The end of the report is clearly hallucinated; the sheriff directly addresses Reynolds through the TV. But when I thought about it afterward, it hit me that the entire news story, from start to finish, must be a hallucination. Reynolds did not leave the body in the woods, so it could not have been found there. All the stuff about the police searching for a serial killer is Reynolds' fantasy. (In fact, there's little indication anyone is even concerned about the missing woman.)

Later, after Reynolds has killed two women, one of his' female coworkers comes to check on him. Naturally he kills her, too. I took this to be a real event. But now I have to wonder if the entire incident happened only in his mind. After all, it makes no sense for the coworker to show up at his place; she already knows that two of her colleagues are missing and that Reynolds may be mentally disturbed. So does she actually go there? Or does he just imagine the third murder? How much of what happens on screen ever "really" happens at all?

Any film that makes you dwell on these questions for a couple of days is worth a watch - if you have the stomach for it. (Those plastic containers ...) Whether it's a "good movie" or not is hard to say, but it does stay with you.

Ryan Reynolds nailed it here, very enjoyable movie, much better than expected.

To be honest I didn't have high expectations for this movie as Ryan Reynolds isn't my favorite actor but credit where credit is due he nailed it here, in fact I thought this was his best performance yet. To my surprise he did all the voice-overs, I would never have guessed that (I even waited for the end credits to clarify who did the voices for Mr. Whiskers, Bosco (voice), the deer and the bunny monkey). The conversations between him, his cat and dog were hilarious, much better than the usual speaking animals we sometimes get. The story itself was also very good, nothing beats a good story about a schizophrenic. It was interesting to follow, with some good humorous moments and some bloody gory parts. It's a dark comedy, one of the better ones if you want my opinion. Anna Kendrick and Gemma Arterton were the eye candy of this movie, both have a funny bone and added something special to this comedy. So if you like to wander in the mind of a schizophrenic combined with some humor The Voices will definitely suit you. I had a lot of fun watching this movie and will for sure watch it again in the future.
