To Die For

I just bought this movie and I must say it is a filming disaster. The story is good but it is so low budget it is worse than a b-rated 70's movie. Most of it is filmed with obvious green screen and is misproportioned to the actor in the scene. I've seen better filming from old school adult movies. Dialog is worse than a first year drama class in high school. A lot of the character interaction are not together so it is one actor saying a line and the other actor in the scene is saying their line somewhere else. Everything is painfully mechanical and choppy and there is no sense of flow or even audio consistency.

From the generation of "get off my lawn" brings you 2 hours of MAGA talking points that liberals hate America and the youth is trash. This may be one of the most poorly shot, edited and sound captured movies in existence. I've seen HS students create better quality of work. Please also try to ignore the terrible constant back and forth of poorly white balanced scenes with absolutely horrible dialogue. If John really did finance this movie with everything he had, he probably should probably sell the camera it was shot on because the movie isn't going to regain that fortune. At one point the Native American bashing is so bad that my ancestors almost came back to slap me in the face for even turning it on.

I don't know where to begin. The family settled in to watch what we thought would be a patriotic movie by a good actor.

I like John Schneider, but this debacle is a hot mess.

How could he even approve of what ended up on this dvd? I expected 1000% more.

This looks like a high school student's first video project, who doesn't know anything about sound, editing or storytelling.

The sound is awful. High, then low, then as if in a tin can. Thought there was a flaw on my dvd.

The opening video keeps dropping out. Again, I thought there might be a dvd issue. But no. This was edited deliberately like this.

Why?

You're so talented.

Why all the horrid acting?

Why the horrible editing ?

Why all of the horrendous chroma key? This is the worst use of chroma key I've read seen, At one point I see the fabric wrinkles in the chroma key fabric.

I work in TV and could have done it all in Premiere Pro 100% better.

I could direct it better and find better supporting roles.

And you couldn't get a location?

How? I book them for local productions all the time and they aren't expensive.

This story doesn't make you feel for the character because this isn't worth caring about. It's just a train wreck.

Seriously the worst movie I've ever watched.

Again, why? You have starred in so much. You're a great actor. You know what a good film is.

I really like you, but this was just a disaster.

This is dreadful, just deadful. I hope I am sparing you finite time in your life from watching this.

I grew up in the 1970's and John Schneider was a hero of mine in The Dukes of Hazard, and he was decent enough in Smallville. A pleasant looking man, and so I watch what he's in, or at least I used to. WTF is this?!

Is it me or has John pivoted a hard right politically? It's certainly too strong for my tastes and a shame because he's done himself a huge disservice by agreeing to this. The plot, the acting and quality of production are so laughably poor. John Schneider, what has become of you?

Gutted but letting go of your memory now.

The cameraman and the angle used on the actors was very amateur! To many close ups on the face. The camera should have backed away some and taken longer shots! Although the storyline was wonderful, I did not feel the patriotism that the director was trying to portray. The story jumped around a lot and did not allow for the intended build up. The relationship with the two main characters, was not enough tension to make you feel or understand his passion for what he was fighting for. The setting and location also were also poorly chosen. I was so excited about this movie, but it fell short of expectations.
