"And now for something completely different!"

RUBBER follows Robert the tire as he takes off on a deadly rampage through the desert, crushing everything in his path and using his powers of pyrokinesis to destroy anything he cannot kill through conventional means. Meanwhile, a group of spectators watch from afar, occasionally commenting on the carnage. The point? To have no point. To be completely without reason. And RUBBER proves its point very well. In fact, it may even be the most pointless film ever made! The silly premise is much better suited for the short film format, where its punch line would go off without a hitch instead of dragging it on to feature length. It provides only momentary satisfaction when Robert inquisitively inspects his surroundings and blows the heads off of innocent desert creatures in a fit of gory rage. Quentin Dupieux opens the film with a pretentious monologue about the pointlessness of cinema that immediately establishes his sense of self-importance. In other words, he is telling the audience they are not intelligent enough to understand that this is satire, so he spells it out for them. That does not make RUBBER any less clever or entertaining in small doses, however. RUBBER is unique enough in concept to warrant a view. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's a really fun movie, with so many elements I enjoyed, but it's missing some through-line that made me feel especially good about it. I loved the "Scanners"-like telekinetic head explosions, and the PETA-hating bug/animal killings. The in-film audience (which took me back to "Shock Treatment") is a great touch, and the sheriff aka cinematic conspirator is hilarious ("Why was ET brown??"). It's similar to Being John Malkovich in it's convention. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for something different, but it just lacked that final string that pulls it all together and makes want to rush out and see it again. Expand

First of all I need to say that this is not a horror film, and it is not one of those crap mockbusters that I am seeing more and more of, what it looks like from the start is a film for intellectuals and film buffs, but it is not. If you goFirst of all I need to say that this is not a horror film, and it is not one of those crap mockbusters that I am seeing more and more of, what it looks like from the start is a film for intellectuals and film buffs, but it is not. If you go in wanting to see a intellectual film or a horror film you will be disappointed, you really need to go in there expecting anything. this is why I think it has got a lot of bad reviews, because most critics are intellectual film buffs, and that is precisely who this film is taking the piss out of.
Rubber starts in a very interesting way, where a sheriff appears to be directly addressing the audience but as it turns out is addressing another audience of the same film... actually never mind revealing anything in this film is a spoiler because of one thing. It dose not have a plot, it is the pure essence of unconnected randomness, it is so surreal and so perfect for it. Can I just say that if you give it a go, force yourself to watch the first 15 or so minutes, and if you like it then great, if you don't then tie one end of your skull to a wall and the other end to a truck moving away from the wall and EXPAND YOUR F***ING MIND. There is no reason to not like this film, it is not meant to be understood and even the supposed message is says it is delivering is not really what it is doing. what it is doing is the pure essence of every film, and showing that you don't need things like sense or plot to do it. What it is doing is entertaining you and if you don't let it then it is only your own fault that you didn't have fun.

one of the most strange and risky films of 2011, and that risk pays off admirably, funny, creepy, surreal, and highly effective, this is the most unique viewing experience i could recommend

what logic is behind this movie personalliy I don't care. A movie about a tire could of been one of the worst movies I have ever seen but this is actually a good mysetry that has some problems and fails to deliver any logic.

A film that dares people to not judge a book (or in this case film) by its cover, with a ridiculous seeming premise that actually surprises you with its utilization. Brilliant meta satire. Worth a watch many times over.
