Let Me Freeze Your Head
Neil McArthur—Red River College
This shows biggest fault was that it did not know what it wanted to be. It started as a sales pitch and turned into a life story, and truth be told it left me a little confused. If a man pitched something to me in the way the actor did I would not have bought the product. I also noticed it seemed as though he was having trouble committing to his emotions to the end of his phrases. This could have been a character choice on his part but it didn’t quite read properly. All this being said however I did in fact enjoy the show, the character proper the face that was ‘Neil the Salesman’ was interesting enough to keep me going. While he almost lost me here and there he pulled me back in with very real, and human reactions to memories. Yet I still can’t shake the feeling that he was not entirely sane. Any man who must tell you that he’s not a serial killer will certainly set off some alarm bells.
