Bless Me Father

Great movie! Wow I can not believe this was all filmed in NJ, It makes the armpit of America (lol) look great. The scenery is so beautiful it's almost hard to believe this film had the budget listed. Like a Hollywood film would have used the budget of this whole film on less than 1 minuet of footage and it wouldn't nearly be as entertaining as this film. This film just kept coming with the punches crime, stripers drugs it had it all. Really depicting the gangster lifestyle in such a cinematic way. Really impressive cast as well no one looked as if they were acting, such natural performances I loved it!!

All I saw wrong to lose a star was that it isn't long enough, I want more!? Any way there will be a sequel, I would love to watch one. I would want to know what happened to Vinny and have the story explained in more depth as it was so captivating, and I couldn't take my mind of the plot after I had finished watching. What a well written script with a story line you don't see coming at all. Around every corner is an unforeseen change of events are it really kept the story exciting and engaging. I would love to see more form this talented cast and crew seriously will there be a sequel as I want one!!!

This is crazy, I grew up watching some of these guys play high school football and college football. Some big former football players in this movie. If anyone knows, Betim Bujari, who played Nino, was the starting center at Rutgers for 4 years. Bekim Bujari who plays Gino in the movie is a great football player as well, He played professionally. Haha this is so funny to see them play Gino and Nino. There scene is my favorite in the movie. I won't give it away, but you gotta check out that scene. So many local guys, so great to see up there on the big screen going for it! It's nice to see this.

Bless Me Father is a great movie. It really blows my mind that this film was made with all non actors and it was the filmmakers debut feature film. I am giving them this rating because for limited resources they had and the extremely small budget this was made on it's almost impossible what they did. Usually I don't like when I hear someone wrote, directed, acted, edited, and even did the sound design, but McLaughlin pulled it off. I would say for him next time to delegate some of the responsibilities to other people and the movies will be that much better, it's still really impressive. You can tell the guy put his soul into it. Ive seen the Sistine Chapel and Michelangelo work. This movie is no where near that level of greatness, but I would say the guys out there doing his thing.

This flick won't disappoint if you are thinking about it definitely hit buy. It's a film full of passion full of emotion I really loved it and it got to be very emotional at different points in the film. I would like to see more women next time and not just more women half naked but more of the women who are closest to the protagonist Vinny's life. For example, his girlfriend Tina, it would have been great to have seen more of her at the beginning of the piece she was a great character and I think it would have added a lot to the plot to have seen more of her. Great role which I think the actress smashed completely. That said great performances all round.
