Fateful Findings - 2013 - Neil Breen ((new))
After discovering a tragedy, Dylan reacts by screaming, "I can't believe you committed suicide. I cannot believe you committed suicide. How could you have done this? How could you have committed suicide?" He then covers his face in frustration, accidentally smearing a handful of fake blood across his own forehead in a moment of pure accidental comedy.

: After being hit by a car, Dylan’s powers activate, allowing him to rapidly heal and begin hacking into "the most secret national and international secrets" to expose global corruption. The Conflict
Dylan accesses government files, uncovering deep corruption, yet he seemingly just uses this power to solve problems effortlessly.
And so Ryan—scientist, killer, healer, author, tree-dweller—remained. He had found everything: truth, power, and a complete disregard for narrative coherence. The laptops glowed on. The wine poured itself. And somewhere, a diamond continued to grow across a skyscraper window, reflecting a world that would never be the same—because it never made sense to begin with. Fateful Findings - 2013 - Neil Breen
For the uninitiated, Fateful Findings is not merely a movie; it is a metaphysical experience. Released in 2013, written, directed, produced, scored, and starring Neil Breen (who also handled casting, catering, and presumably the teleprompter), this film defies conventional rating systems. It is simultaneously the worst film ever made and the most honest, unflinching portrayal of one man’s ego, paranoia, and messianic delusion.
The film follows "Leopold" (Breen), a best-selling author and researcher who, as a child, made a pact with a mystical fairy woman (or possibly a ghost; the film is unclear) that gave him supernatural abilities. As an adult, Leopold is married to a shrewish, wine-guzzling executive (a common Breen antagonist). He hates his life, so he smashes his laptop in a rage, quits his job, and moves back to his hometown.
Dylan’s "hacking" is visually communicated by placing four to five outdated, often non-functioning laptops on a single desk. In one of the film's most infamous scenes, an overwhelmed Dylan throws his hands up and spills a cup of coffee over his keyboard in a display of pure, over-the-top frustration. After discovering a tragedy, Dylan reacts by screaming,
“What is this?” the Senator screamed.
: Lines are delivered in the stiltest, most unnatural fashion imaginable, creating scenes that rival The Room in sheer awkwardness. Breen, as one IMDb reviewer noted, "doesn't care for filmmaking rules, mainly because he doesn't know any of them. You know how movies are supposed to be 'show, don't tell'? Neil Breen tells and tells and tells".

At its core, "Fateful Findings" is a film about the struggle for justice and the power of the individual to effect change. Breen's script tackles a range of topics, including corporate greed, government corruption, and environmental degradation. These themes are woven throughout the narrative, often through Breen's on-screen monologues and dialogue. While some critics have dismissed the film's didactic approach, fans argue that it adds to the movie's charm and intellectual curiosity.
Years later, Dylan is struck by a car in a bizarrely staged accident, an event that awakens dormant supernatural powers tied to the artifact from his youth. Now possessed of telekinetic abilities and a sudden, god-like mastery of computer hacking, Dylan sets up an array of laptops in his home. His mission? To hack into "the most secret government and corporate data systems" in the world to expose global corruption.
