Plot:
Doherty plays an unsuccessful actor and clarinet player who ends up with a large number of dead bodies on his hands. Together with his friend Pierce (Dylan Moran), they attempt to escape their predicament by re-writing the day's events as if it were a film. As the body count mounts, they pitch ideas back and forth desperately searching for a way out.

In a guy's apartment three deadly accidents happen in a span of a few minutes. Fearing that the police would think that he murdered them (which it awfully looks like), he is trying to cover it up after a bad advice from his best friend. Nice black comedy with a lot of laugh-out moments. I first saw it at the FantasyFilmFest. I don't remember it starting this slow. Also I enjoyed more with a big crowd.

That Man from Rio, a review by GSyren

Title	That Man from Rio (8-809154-130562). Original title: L'Homme de Rio
Director	Philippe de Broca
Actors
Produced	1964 in France
Runtime	111 minutes
Audio	French Dolby Digital Mono, Russian Dolby Digital Mono
Subtitles	English, Korean
Overview	An eight-day pass, a kidnapping, and a greedy group of South American Indians provide the basic ingredients of this madcap adventure. A French air force pilot has the pass and plans to use it to see his girl friend in Paris. He gets there just in time to see a gang of South American Indians, who believe that the girl knows the location of a set of statues that can pinpoint the location of a fabulous jungle treasure, kidnapping her. He follows them to the Brazilian jungle and many riotous adventures ensue. Eventually the lovers manage to escape and return to France just before the pilot's pass expires.
My thoughts	From looking at the cover image you might think that That Man from Rio is a Bond spoof. It isn't. It's more of a romantic adventure in the Indiana Jones style, with a bit of Tintin thrown in. Philippe de Broca made several great movies, many with Belmondo. My favorites, apart from this one, are Cartouche and Le MagnifiqueLe Magnifique. It's also hard to find, but there is a French R2/PAL release that has French, English and German audio.
My rating	3 out of 5

A man claiming to be an historian from the future arrives to witness the current mission of the Enterprise. An entertaining episode. Especially the scenes where this man is interacting with the crew.
