MPAA RATING: Not Rated

Starring Michael Rodrick, Debbie Rochon, Frank Olivier, Michael Risley, Herbert Golder, Kathy Good, Rachel Haynes, Lloyd Kaufman, and Andrea Ulrich

Just how bad can things get? Conrad has found a pornographic video featuring his fiancé. Shocked, he calls the wedding off. But now, after an emotionally brutal week, an abused Jennifer has cut off Conrad's penis - and taken it with her for ransom! A doctor has advised Conrad that if found immediately, there is some hope for re-attachment. But where is Jennifer hiding? Vengeful and furious, Conrad blunders gun first into the underworld of her "blue-film" past, to find her – and his missing member! (First Run Features)

Film Threat Mike Watt
A grim and gritty movie, but sardonically funny at the same time.

LA Weekly Scott Foundas
If Blake Edwards wrote a script and then Abel Ferrara directed it, it might look something like Nowhere Man.

Chicago Reader Joshua Katzmann
McCann's tone, perversely comic at first, gradually darkens, transforming this into a savage noir exploration of the war between the sexes.

Village Voice Dennis Lim
Nowhere Man, despite a tossed-off ending, is a compulsive bit of meta-exploitation.

Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir
I'm always grateful to practice a little affirmative action on behalf of grade-C sleaze movies with a budget you could probably locate in your sofa cushions or your dryer, and Tim McCann's digital-video opus Nowhere Man is a fine example of the species.

The New York Times Janet Maslin
A weird blooper reel, shown as the credits roll, records how often the actors broke into nervous laughter, and this goofy coda undermines any serious intent or honest emotion in the previous, tedious 80 minutes.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
The bleak absurdity of its predicaments cries out for a tone of pitch-dark comedy to stave off the unintended laughter that it is virtually certain to elicit.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The result is an unpleasant slog to an unrewarding conclusion that feels far longer than it is.

New York Post V.A. Musetto
The dreadful acting, direction and script make Nowhere Man a nowhere movie.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
Cheap and ugly in every sense--morally, cinematically, creatively--Nowhere Man accomplishes the seemingly impossible by dragging the seedy revenge genre to a horrific new nadir.

Haytham gave it a0:
Racism, ugly, negative and absolutely meaningless movie.

Damian C. gave it a5:
You could do alot worse with your movie time. It's music video look will try admirably try to dissuade you, but not long after the movie begins you'll see something in the film that may allow you to hold on until the end - or close to it, anyway. The creators wisely procrastinate in revealing what the main character is seeking from the lady. Had they revealed it a second too soon, it would have been a wrap. But even after the quarry is so crudly revealed, my wife and I couldn't help but wait to see where the film was going to take us. Ultimately, I wasn't as dissappointed with the ending as I was stymied. But even through my cloud of confusion, it wasn't difficult to see that the ending was a huge cop out. Thanks!!
