Clone Cops

I was at a viewing of this movie in Somerville, Massachusetts. I couldn't believe when I heard that one of the members working on this film spent $300,000 of his own money to make it! That is dedication, that's what it means to throw caution to the wind. I remember saying this at the viewing, that it reminds me of the Netflix show "Umbrella Academy," because the team of people that are against the army of clones each have a distinctive talent. One is a hacker, one has a strange obsession with guns, and I can't remember the other ones but I know they had a talent too. I was confused on what was happening at first, but the story gradually reveals what is going on as you watch. I think the plot, One Tank Frank's lab setup, and the livestreaming interface were the strong suits of this film. If I were to give suggestions of what I would like to see in this series, I would like to see more choreographed fight scenes, and maybe less emotional scenes/ death scenes, since I don't think the actors really knew why they were getting emotional in a scene or their relationship they were supposed to have with the person they were talking to. I do not mean for any of this to come across as hate, just things I would like to see. But I am aware of the extreme difficulty of filmmaking. Philip Cordell did a great job as the Clone Cops, very energetic and funny. One Tank Frank, Thongdaddy420, and Persephone, also stood out as good actors to me. There was alot of restrictions due to budget, because even though $300,000 is alot for an Indie movie, movies are one of the most expensive forms of art out there, possibly the most expensive. But I know that with a higher budget, this movie would have a following. A funny action movie with a story that keeps you engaged.

This pathetic excuse for a film plunges though the bottom of the barrel as the WORST movie I have ever seen in my entire life !!!

It looks like something a bunch of drunk high school kids shot on the weekend with an iPhone. Almost all the interior and exterior scenes look like they were filmed in an abandoned warehouse. That ,is only two room of and abandoned warehouse - making the cinematography monotonous.

The acting is atrociously amateur. The story and dialogue is completely nonsensical. Clone Cops is about as funny and entertaining as a wet floor mop. I suspected this might be anemic on a $300,000 budget. But not nearly as bad as I could ever imagine. You get what you pay for.

Any spoilers? No. The film is spoiled from start to finish.

Clone Cops is a hidden gem of a sci-fi comedy, appears to be set in the 1980's, blending cheesy action, absurd humor, and a sharp satire of law enforcement and technology. Director Danny Dones and Phillip Cordell delivers a story that has over the top sensibilities that makes the movie silly and fun with catch phrases like "Do Not Contaminate the Sauce!" and singing the Spin Gin jingle. Director of Photography, Corey Allen, did a masterful job with blending of lights and shadows to convey emotion and scale. The film never takes itself too seriously, and that's its biggest strength. And after watching this, I ran out to go get soft serve.

I sincerely hope no one involved with making this movie, the script, or even the actors, actually thought people would like or laugh at remotely anything in this movie. Just take your paycheck and move on knowing that audiences and critics around the world have somehow lowered their respect for you further. As a matter of fact, I might just flush it down the toilet right now. It can't get worse than Clone cops.

Every single rating here on this mivie above 1 is a fake.

Not every bad movie has a cult following in its future. Some of them are just kinda bad... and in this case its as bad as it can possibly get.

I can make a better movie on my phone filming the neighbours cat for 90 minutes.

The creativity, the love of the filmmaking process, the bumps and bruises!

That's what it's all about! Clone Cops was easily my favorite of the last few indie movies I've seen. Not perfect, but a passionate project filled with love of the game and hard work. The marrying of science fiction and comedy comes off seamlessly thanks to terrific writing. I felt easily pulled into this ironic dystopian future, and I hope we get to revisit it at some point in the future 🤞

Do yourself a favor and suspend your expectations and an enjoy this gem of a film.

Bravo to the cast and crew for taking this shot! 10/10 for creativity!
