Spin the Wheel

Just watched this movie yesterday. This isn't your typical canned Hollywood production, if that's what you expect, this may not be for you. Rather, it is a thought provoking, soul affirming look at our humanness. It touches on several topics, that may or may not resonate for you, but for some this will hit home.

The location, lighting and music was very well suited to the overall feeling. Casting was well done, Diane and Neil were superb and the others did their characters justice.

My constructive criticism would be : the sound quality at times, a few flat spots occurred where it was too quiet and drawn out ( perhaps for dramatic effect) where music may have helped build that tension. There was one particular character twist that was too big a leap, for me. ( it needed more of a bridge or justification).

However, I am compelled to watch this movie again. Why ? Because there were subtle nuances in some of the characterizations that I feel I may have missed. It's one of those movies you have to watch again to truly appreciate.

Aside from a couple of corny jokes, and there was one that made me laugh out loud. It's not a comedy. It's not high action. It's a thought provoking, original and unique piece of work mixed in with some great shots, lighting, music and character reveals.

But don't take my word for it, watch it for yourself and see.

Spin the Wheel" is a thought-provoking film where every character plays a vital role in the growth of the plot. As the story unfolds, you witness the trials and tribulations that each character faces, making it relatable to audiences from all walks of life. The score, featuring local artists, adds a surreal depth to the film.

Watching this movie is not just entertainment; it's an opportunity to appreciate the dedication and years of training poured into every aspect by the talented individuals involved. It's a cinematic experience that resonates long after the credits roll.

Want the truth...Watch the movie.

Recently watched this film and thoroughly enjoyed it. Good character development, well developed story line. It made you feel as though you could actually picture yourself in the movie. I would have liked to know the ending whether they had actually died and went to heaven or whether they were actually in hell being in the dive bar where it all takes place in. Perhaps the writer left that to our imagination which was probably the intention. Overall solid movie night watch with an original story. Also the music throughout was well played and the twists it took you on were well timed. Lighting was also notable with great use of color and ominous tones. Overall enjoyed the movie.

Spin the Wheel delivers a unique perspective into the lives of people going through the final moments of a living hell and how they would react given the chance to change their current predicament (not necessarily for the better). Neil Chase captures the depravity and moral dilemma of individuals who have little left to lose while also showcasing a meta commentary on common tropes used in modern media without feeling the need to force it down viewers throats. Though a bit of a slow burn I found myself drawn in and wanting to know how it ends. The cast all stood out in their own ways and I look forward to whatever content Brimstone Pictures releases in the future.

As a side note, I've noticed quite a few negative reviews plaguing this and a few other indie projects. Not every project is going to be loved or well received but the best thing anyone can do is have an open mind and give everything a fair chance. I can't say Spin the Wheel is my favorite movie ever but I will say I don't believe the people who choose to review bomb movies in an attempt to negatively sway public opinion deserve the satisfaction of ruining peoples passion projects.

Do yourself a favor, watch Spin the Wheel and leave an honest review and help indie projects flourish through critical feedback as opposed to badmouthing and bashing in attempt to stroke your own ego.
