Nothing is a movie, well just full of it.
The basic idea - two characters launched into a fantasy world in which they can make disappear everything they want, forever - sounds great, and would have made a fun short film.
Sadly, everything is flawed :
1. Main actors play way over-the-top, and their characters sound and look very unlikable. In our world, they would probably end down an asylum's dark cell, screaming their insanities to death.
2. Secondary characters are pure evil, be they the colleagues who tie of one the main guy's chair to the roof, Marie-José Croze's thieving character or the wicked girl falsely accusing the other main character of having sexually touched her... this made me swear out in pure rage... how can destroying one's life with false accusations came even be remotely funny?
3. Character's background is slim. 4. Pacing is tedious 5. Nothing's world is, well, empty 6. Silly jumping in Nothing's world is pure teen idiocy 7. ...and so on...
Well, Natali has proved he can do both great (Cube) and awful (Nothing) movies for a few bucks.
