Welcome to Redville

There is a disturbing trend in these movie reviews. It's not like they are just a little off from being correct. They are the polar opposite from reality. It's as if people are being paid to say the exact opposite of what a normal person would say about the movie. This movie was completely boring, there was not a high-octane moment in it, it has the special effects of a movie created by grade schoolers and a predictable overused plot that will end in disgust and anger for any sensible person. If you paid 5 dollars for this movie you are the victim of a sex crime. I need a counselor, I'm scarred emotionally from this horrendous waste of my time and money. There really is nothing interesting, funny or good in this movie, it's a bucket of nothing. Read the positive reviews, watch this horrible movie and then read this review again and you tell me who was really telling the truth about it.

This is one of the worst movies I've ever wasted my time watching. Because of the reviews, I stuck it out...for nothing. Why would IMBD allow these manipulative people to write these reviews? AND why was it given a 7.0? It's a 3 at best. One of those children's "scary" shows like Goosebumps could possibly use this but I would even doubt that. It's just not creative enough. After the first 5 minutes, you've figured the entire movie out. As unimaginable as you can possibly get. A high school first time writer could do better than this drool.

There's no twist. There's no surprise. There's no story. There's no characters. There's no hero's. There's nothing to this film.

Shame on all those who wrote positive reviews. You've wasted everyone's time. No one with an IQ above that of a monkey could enjoy this movie.

This is one of those movies that seems to have a simple plot with simple dialog but has a lot happening throughout the show. A high strung diamond thief, Leo, and his girlfriend, Toni, rob a jewelry store which does not go well. They end up running from the cops in a chase through the desert out side of town. They end up stopped at the edge of a cliff with a 30 foot drop with the police blocking their exit behind them. Leo decides to take the car and make the jump which they make without issue. They drive away in a cloud of dust leaving the police standing back frustrated. They end up lost in the desert with no cell service and a damaged radiator when they happen upon a sign, "Welcome to Redville". They notice that Redville is not on their map and Leo sees this as an opportunity to lay low from the authorities. This is when the movie gets even more entertaining as things become quite strange. The town folk in Redville are different and strange. You sense a small town vibe and all of the characters are introduced as Leo and Toni try to figure out where they are. Sabrina Haskett plays Lila, the daughter of the town sheriff and a temptress to Leo. Along with the other twists and turns you have references to clowns and the circus (part of Leo's past), a crazy homeless man, a rare blue diamond, all seasoned well with dashes of humor. I watched the movie twice before writing this review because there was so much going on between Lila, Leo, Toni and the other characters I was sure I missed some of the dialog. The ending of the movie leaves you wondering if Leo and Toni will ever leave Redville or if they will be there forever with "No Way Out". I polished off plenty of popcorn watching this movie and enjoyed it very much!

Highdee Kuan and Jake Manley star in this robbery turned dadaesque odyssey into the town of Redville. The screenplay accomplishes an earnest, though brief, exploration of the tension between commitment and desire, while also delivering a sort of cabinet of curiosities provided by the quirky residents of Redville. Manley delivers a solid performance as an archetypal bad boy with a rough past, while the absurdity of the plot keeps this portrayal from being overbearing. Kuan portrays a more low-key and down-to-earth Bonny to Manley's Clyde, which functions well in the more rooted first act, though she is somewhat left behind by the rapid succession of events in the second. Overall, Welcome to Redville sets out to present the set piece of a weird small town propelling a story about a relationship entering a new phase of its growth. Director Isaac Eaton hits the mark in this campy film on a small budget.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film! It's a high octane thrill ride with plenty of unexpected twists and turns from start to finish. The storyline is unexpected and keeps you interested throughout. The cinematography is top notch! I thought the characters were interesting and the acting was well done from the leads to the increasingly eccentric townspeople. Chris Elliott is always great for some comic relief. The two leads, Jake Manley and Highdee Kuan and good chemistry and played well off each other. It was well directed as well. I would feel very comfortable recommending Welcome to Redville to friends and family. Enjoy the Ride!!!
