Borderline Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Örn Lúðvíksson8. März 2026I went in without a clue. Was not dissapointed. Hilarious movie.
- jerrmi8723. Januar 2026Nicholson is annoying as hell. Weaving is always a treat to watch. Storyline is a shambles.
- Spoons15. März 2025Ray Nicholson delivers a gloriously unhinged performance in Borderline, masterfully balancing disturbing intensity with hilariously manic energy. It’s impossible to look away—he’s magnetic, showcasing a powerful pedigree of acting talent but carving out his own distinct style separate from his iconic father, Jack Nicholson. Honestly, that alone sums up the film: familiar roots, uniquely executed. Samara Weaving brings her dependable scream queen charisma, adding depth and charm amid the chaos. Alba Baptista matches the film’s wildly unpredictable energy, standing out with her delightfully manic presence. Their duet rendition of a Celine Dion classic is a standout, both brilliant and bizarrely fun. Director Jimmy Warden’s unapologetically batshit tone feels genuinely exhilarating, offering a rare, truly original experience in an era of safe and predictable films. Paired with fantastic musical choices, Borderline stands out as a refreshingly insane entry into contemporary cinema.
- asharma5622. März 2025It was an unexpectedly amazing movie was really interesting! <3
- Hipster ZOMBIE15. März 2025Director Jimmy Warden has cooked up one of the most deprived and entertaining dark comedies of the year. “Borderline” follows Paul Duerson (Ray Nicholson), an obsessive stalker whose delusions drive the story into chaotic and visually striking territory. Samara Weaving stars as the object of his obsession, delivering another intense performance that solidifies her as a modern scream queen for this generation. Nicholson gives a star making performance here and looks to carry on his father’s iconic legacy in film.
- joez1821. Dezember 2025Surprisingly good!
- CarbonDJ4. November 2025A really fun black comedy. Didn't know what to expect, but really enjoyed it all. Ray Nicholson was a blast as the unhinged lead, And Samara was a great counterpoint. I'll pretty much sign up for anything she does. Great flick for something different than the usual.
- Sean Murphy9. August 2025Borderline is absolutely insane. It isn't like most movies that Hollywood puts out. To me this is what movie making is all about. Risk and trust. I could nit pick this movie all day but it wouldn't change my recommendation. Samara Weaving just knows how to make entertaining films. Ray Nicholson is simply awesome in every scene. Alba Baptista has a moment to shine for sure and the reamining cast fills in the gaps very well. Eric Dane is just Mr. Reliable as always. Props to writer/director Jimmy Warden and the team that backed his vision. I could certainly see Hollywood brass getting their fingers all over this and F#$%ing it up as they so often do. If you like movies in general, especially original stories, give Borderline a watch. Fair warning, it's F*$#&ing nuts. Just have fun, like you are supposed to.
- LordDeTracy27. Juni 2025Weird af
- Poulsen8014. Juni 2025This movie surprised us. Fun, violent, a bit silly, but it all blends together in a almost perfect mix. The movie captures mental illness, is it a bit exaggerated, yes, but it does it to be clear about what is going on, and why people are making the choices they make. The movie knew what it could bring to the table 94min and nothing more. If your open for something different, then this is the movie for you.
- Splitvision8927. April 2025Cool premise for a movie, but the execution is terrible. The main antagonist is just an awful actor
- jackmeat19. März 2025My quick rating - 5.6/10. Yep, love. It makes us do crazy things. Like escaping from a mental institution, breaking into a pop star’s home, and waging a battle of wits and knives against anyone who gets in the way. Borderline gives us exactly what the title suggests: a movie that teeters on the edge of greatness but never quite commits. Ray Nicholson plays Quinn, a lovestruck psycho who is equal parts charming and utterly unhinged. Think Ted Bundy with a Spotify playlist of '90s bangers. He’s got the look, the obsession, and, unfortunately, the screen time of a supporting character. Seriously, why are we not getting more of this guy? Instead, we’re treated to an ensemble of equally murderous misfits who turn what should have been an intimate stalker-thriller into a horror-comedy team-building exercise. Straight to streaming video darling Samara Weaving plays Sofia, the pop superstar who quickly realizes her biggest hit isn't going to be her escape plan. She spends most of the movie dodging knives, stalkers, and nostalgia-driven musical cues while delivering a solid final-girl performance. But let's be honest—the real scene-stealer here is Alba Baptista as Penny, a pint-sized villainess who could probably get her own spin-off, a prequel, or at the very least, a Youtube series on “creative ways to murder your enemies.” The kills? Satisfying. Plenty of blood, plenty of stabbing, plenty of “oh, that’s gotta hurt” moments. The humor? Dark. The kind of humor that makes you chuckle, then immediately check if anyone else in the room is judging you. The third act? Well... it exists. Instead of an explosive climax, we get a wrap-up—the cinematic equivalent of an “Okay, we’re done now.” It’s like the movie just got tired and decided to end. So, should you check out Borderline? If you like your horror with a side of humor, your stalkers with a hint of charm, and your finales with, well, low expectations—sure. It’s entertaining, but you’ll probably walk away thinking, it could have been so much more. It's a love story that just won’t take no for an answer.
- Marian Iulian7. Juni 2025I would say stupid movie😅
- cultfilmliker3. Juni 2025Everyone loves to watch Samara smoke cigs! Terrific cinematography. The music video scenes could have been shorter lol especially the one with the dagger “Robert Smith from The Cure” made me guffaw. Other than that, the parts with the foreign woman were pretty funny (for the most part) A cop irl would have shot that little girl for laughing at him …and then the one time a cop should pull their gun, he doesn’t! lmao Pearl ruined endings like this lol Mia & Ti just nailed it so hard Added to 2025 Ranked
- romandini34. Mai 2025Great premise that is hindered by some awfully prolongated scenes that add absolutely nothing to the film. Nicholson is trying to find his inner father and replicate his insane state of mind that is fully on display in The Shining. Sometimes I believe him but those moments are quite rare and you pretty much see most of them in the trailer. There is a lot of "Marvel-type" writing here and trying to create a scene purely out of half-assed whacky facial expressions that I just despise. BUT there is some fun to be had.
