Cool premise, I'm in. Started strong but I soon came to feel we ain't gonna see any exotic technology here or other people period for that matter so straight off the bat I was a little disappointed. The project gets a A effort and I think it punched well above it's weight. Impressive, good job. The solo actor is great and the character study is compelling. However the non inclusion of any other actors on screen even insignificant background players although for whatever good reasons like covid restrictions created a tedious effect for me and acted as a real barrier to believe in and become immersed in the story. I half expected our character to wake up from a dream a lone castaway on a desert island. Shame because in most other regards this works as a satisfying and effective screen story. Once again I sometimes felt a real disconnect from Percival and the voices he was speaking to, the words worked on paper but the delivery and tone felt like these were created in ADR sessions and not really happening in real time. These conversations had a hit or miss reality that didn't help draw me in. That being said I sill gave in to Percival's emotional journey and let go my nerdy fixation on UFO's and alien tech to where by the end I had no idea what actually happened at the end or cared as far as the original premise that initially attracted me. In my book this equates to the film makers must of done something right, however it just wasn't the thing I was hoping for. This film is a clever low budget effort on one hand and a little underwhelming on the other due to the thing that makes it clever in the first place.

Despite numerous poor reviews, Our Man In L. A. is very well made for the Indie Project that it is.

Anybody who didn't enjoy this movie, chose not to.

Throughout the majority of the film the viewer is teased with ideas and character development & there is a depth here that you must look for yourself.

Although the tracking is slow at times, and may leave you bored or looking for more, the idea behind this is Solid And I thoroughly enjoyed the entire thing.

The director took a wonderful idea, and with a low budget still managed to make a great film.

I am looking forward to seeing his career progress.
