Pickings

While I agree that some of the acting was sub-par, it was not embarrassingly so. Tarantino-influenced or not (who cares? not me), I like revenge-by-the-underdog movies, and this was especially good with women getting revenge against a bunch of guys who didn't know who they were dealing with.

Good movie. More please.

It's an OK film at best. Could be good, if it weren't a huge Tarantino ripoff, especially of Kill Bill. I mean even in small details like the coma of the main character. That's beyond reference for me, it's just lazy writing. Also the whole vibe is "tarantinesque", like same camera angles, old western-like soundtrack, titles for characters on screen and overall style.

New filmmakers should be original, or at least try to. Otherwise what's the point? To do something that someone already did?

...

Although I usually like some, there are waaay to much musical bits, to the point it gets annoying. Like watching a sequence of music videos, while you just want the story to flow.

Beside all that, there are one or two cool things in it. Not enough to really recommend it.

Many great films were made with shoelace budgets, that is not an excuse. And this is not one of them.

The entire thing is unbelievably amateurish, the acting in particular (most specifically the bad guys). My hat is off to anyone who can actually get a movie made, much less get it onto Amazon, which are very difficult things to accomplish, but it hurts my heart to see this kind of unoriginal, extremely poorly written drek having success. Definitely worth avoiding.

This is one of those rare films when one individual wears too many hats - and succeeds.

Novice director, writer, producer, cinematographer, sfx, vfx, and editor Usher Morgan makes his full length feature film debut in most of the above categories in this low budget (350K) B-grade indie film with many novice actors.

Sure it's not an original production (the theme paying homage to Sin City and Kill Bill), and it had its writing flaws, overplayed cliche's, overzealous cartoon scenes, overloaded with cringy slow-mo's, and the acting was certainly not Oscar-worthy. But let's remember that this was an ambitious independent low budget production and should not be compared to big budget Hollywood productions with A-list actors. I can see many of the wannabe critics on IMDb will slam this film and not appreciate its production values. Having said that, I really enjoyed it. It felt like it was a "industry friends and family get together to make a fun film", and fun it certainly was. Most of the cast members wore more than one hat as well, and for such a small production, it showed really well. The cinematography was nearly flawless and the directing really good.

This neo-noir crime film isn't for everyone, but I for one can look past the flaws and see it as a gem, one that certainly qualifies for a cult following. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Would I see it again? At least one more time. A well deserved 8/10 from me.

This was front loaded with fake stars but it is a completely clumsy snooze in reality. This isn't even a B movie but someone seems to have thought that they were making a hip masterpiece the way it focuses on being artistic and full of technique. Someone should have pointed out that they were supposed to be making a movie with a plot and that made some sense in someway, being interesting would have helped.
