Scratch

This is the second time I watched Scratch and I have to say that I have quickly become a big fan of the film! I thought the story was very well written and there was a lot of great moments throughout the film. The cast was excellent and they acted very well in the film. I liked how the story developed with a few nice twists that kept the audience intrigued. The plot is interesting and captivating, and there are great comedic moments throughout the film that keep it light and fun. If you are looking to have a good time at the movies, this is the film to watch. I'm looking forward to watching this movie again and again. Curious to know if there will be a Scratch 2!

The great thing about independent films is that you never really know what to expect. Obviously being accepted into a film festival speaks measures to the potential quality but even then, a lot of what makes a movie good or not really is in the eye of the beholder. But Scratch was an all around fun movie. I like dark comedy because it allows the audience to experience a dramatic and often difficult experience with a light comedic delivery. Its serious but at the same time its not… The end credits excerpt is a perfect example of that, and Scratch delivered in its entertainment value.

Fun, easy to follow along and believable story lines, all brought together by a talented cast of interesting and engaging characters really kept my husband and I engaged and happily entertained!!

Just saw this film at a local film festival near Toronto Canada. Not good at all. Too many people are calling themselves film makers now. The story had promise, but the lack of action and the mediocre attempt at comedy took this story into a black hole. I wish people would pick one or the other... action, or comedy. Yes black humor is entertaining, but Scratch was not that at all. Scratch was a film makers attempt to try and put together a movie that lacked that cutting edge. It's the look that everyone wants, but no one usually achieves. I miss the films of the late 80, and early 90's... those day are gone I guess. Maybe they can fix this film in a second edit? Who knows! If anything, they should try and have the films color fixed. Who ever was in charge of lighting needs to have a career change.

I was pleasantly surprised how good this film is. A gangster heist film with elements of comedy, I actually laughed quite a bit during the film. The performances of actors were excellent. This little gem is truly worth watching. From the moment the film started it kept the energy level high and kept me intrigued of whats coming next. I also enjoyed the soundtrack that accompanied this movie. I never heard most of the songs on it and would like to have my hands on it. Without giving out any spoilers its hard to give a desciptive review, but I can say that in today's age most films that are made basically are unwatchable, "Scratch" will keep you watching and enjoying it...

Saw this at a film festival recently near Toronto. The cast was really strong for a low-budget yarn and some were on hand for a q&a afterwards. Without getting into spoilers, the story has several twists and turns along the way and bounces at times between action and comedy. The film is kind of is split in two this way, which I can see working for some but not every audience member. So there is a different kind of rhythm to it, which worked for me. The black humour is sometimes hit and miss and it could have done with some faster pacing, but I enjoyed it for what it was. No real deep message here but a fun ride with an unexpected conclusion. 7ish out 10.
