Ignacio Maiso's 'The Consultant' is a brooding, twisting psychological thriller that wraps with quite a punch to the chest. It's definitely one of those movies that are worth watching a second time. The performances by all of the actors involved was amazing, but especially that of John Christian Bateman as the psychiatrist. He really carries the movie. One of the great things about independent cinema like this is that the filmmakers can take more liberties with material and style. The film had a very effective and avant-garde cinematography that added a new dimension to the story and the musical score was wonderful. All in all a very intriguing, moody piece that will keep you hooked till the very end.

A classic 'one room' psychological thriller with a great cast, compelling music and intriguing plot made by a passionate team of filmmakers.

Writer and director Ignacio Maiso reinforces his strong stylistic approach and sensibilities in this third feature film from Tractorni Productions, this time bringing us inside a therapist's office while locking the doors to leave us with a deteriorating consultant (John-Christian Bateman).

Some familiar faces from past films return to the cast in The Consultant to turn in some compelling performances, all the while being underscored by composer Ben Cook's brilliantly unsettling music.

Good cinematography. Acting was decent if not a little over acted.

What really stopped this movie from being good was the writing. This movie wasn't even close to great, in fact it was bad.

Do not believe the 9/10s and 10/10s, they are quite obviously friends and family and other interested parties.

To make it a good movie they just had to not make it so obvious from the start what was going on. When you have this psychologist with patients, saying nothing and looking like a deer caught in the headlights the entire time... Yeah.

Maybe I'm being unfair to the writers, and there were more lines but they were cut out in editing? Maybe the actor improved not saying them and the director went for it?

Huge mistake though.
