Iron Brothers

Right from the opening scenes I had a bad feeling about this. This was beyond believable, too many blatant errors. The first scene showed a close up of a hand on a rifle, soft, not weather worn, , manicured nails, clean. Then in the cabin he leans on stove that supposed to have a hot pot.

Then it's 3 to one with the Indians with one shot and he gets away. The whole premise was flawed, tramping through snow and they weren't caught, ???

Too soft looking to be real pioneers, more than anything .

Iron Brothers was an excellent movie on its own, but an even better movie when I realized- it's only a student film! It likely had a low budget, and definitely had a VERY small production team. (Pay attention to the credits- there are a lot of repeat names). It's hard to believe the quality! Indie movies often focus so intensely on being artistic that the story and character development get pushed aside. However, this film was able to do both! It tells a magnificent story about two brothers, and their character developments are truly inspiring. It is also beautifully artistic. The score and cinematography are INCREDIBLE, and the whole thing makes you feel like you're embarking on a great adventure! Definitely worth the watch!

Costuming. 10. Atmosphere /Settings 8 Cinematography 8. Acting 7. Direction 7. Character Development 7. Storyline 7. Overall I would give this an 8 for effort. Soundtrack 10. Solid 6 to 8 7overall. I like this film. I admire the dedication of the filmmakers. My Son graduated from North Carolina Shool of the Arts and has made some films. I credit the filmakers for such sincere dedication to the craft. I feel this movie deserves viewing. I don't find the characters reprehensible in the context of history. I think the storytelling arc is better than some main stream crap I've watched. I would give it a watch. Remember ,everyone starts somewhere.

This is a great low budget movie .. Not bad at all ..

When you watch IRON BROTHERS for the first time, it will take you back to the "good-ole" days of classic films with a modern feel. You will love the majestic scenery and expansive shots and the raw relationship between the two brothers fighting for survival. Their rough edges and on-the-surface emotions offer a "real" glimpse of what life would be like during this time period. A slow boil leading up to the epic finally. But the most remarkable part about IRON BROTHERS is that it was written, directed, filmed, and acted by a group of College Students! When you see what these young directors were able to accomplish with a limited budget and their debut feature film, you will be astonished! And every Native American in the film is a member of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe out of Southern Idaho using authentic costumes and their own horses, they do a remarkable job for their first time on film. Truly a treat!!
