Where Birds Don't Fly

Take away the production isn't high expense this movie hits home and has a real strong message...it's a better movie then it's low rating and everyone I have recommended it to enjoyed it

Where Birds Don't Fly has a fantastic opening, beautifully scored and well written. I immediatly thought this ultra low budget crime film would be good based on this, I was sorely mistaken.

It tells the generic story of the police after a brutal serial killer, sadly it tells a very very boring story.

Within 10-15 minutes of that fantastic opening sequence it becomes apparent that the film isn't going to retain the same level of quality. Considering it was made for a budget of 5k it looks adequate but the writing doesn't make for very engrossing viewing.

Bizzarely tame considering the severity of the killers actions and frustratingly boring this is one crime thriller that isn't all that thrilling.

The Good:

Some good writing

Well scored

Fantastic opening scene

Love the title

The Bad:

Gets real boring real fast

Seen it all a thousand times

Far tamer than it should have been

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When a person doesn't want to actually make any sort of effort they'll just pray

The Auschwitz story regarding this birds is fiction

While I agree with all the other user reviews posted, the ONE THING I felt was very different about this film was the HUMAN ELEMENT of the detectives. As they proceed through the plot, they show their very human side when, as they return home at night, they are ever MORE attentive to their families as a direct result of what they are experiencing working this particular case. I liked that about this film. I thought it a great angle to incorporate into the plot. What a shame the rest of the movie lives up to the other reviews here.....SAD!

The first 15 minutes and musical score had me interested. After that, agonizingly slow, doesn't even cover it. OK, so it's low budget but I honestly thought it'd be worth watching a "B-" grade movie. It wasn't. The acting and script left so much to be desired. I actually watched it until it had about 50 minutes to go...losing more interest. Then I skipped ahead until there was only 30 minutes left. JHC! THAT time left was slower thsn ever!! As I titled my review, yeah, I certainly could have knitted a sweater. At least I would have had a positive outcome. I did not enjoy this "movie"(? Such as it was). Don't waste your time.

Just horrendous. Horrible. Terrible. Pathetic. They found the killer by riding around in the car and seeing someone buy bleach. OMG.
