Eyes of a Roman

Eyes of a Roman is an overall very nice film. The storyline is engaging and each performer does a good job maintaining the film's pace. The musical score is outstanding--it really highlights many of the intense scenes throughout.

The costumes are well done and the film's location was well-suited for the story. It would have been nice to see some variety in the overall color grade--every once in a while the scene would appear to be a little washed out or flat--but otherwise, beautiful filmography. Impressive movie and looking forward to seeing future projects from this director. Congratulations to all cast and crew involved!

The film was shot in the hill country of Texas, and the crew behind this film did a masterful job. Seeing how the cameramen, sound, director, assistant director, and makeup/hair work all in unison on location was a joy to watch. Watching the film, the images are so crisp and vivid, you will wish you could rewind to see them again. Knowing how the director held regular sessions to coordinate 60+ actors through fight choreography training, and how the director encouraged active participation were some of the highlights of being part of this film. Many people contributed blood, sweat, and smiles to make the action scenes of the movie worth the watch, and it shows. Congratulations to the cast and crew.

You have to hand it to the Director, CJ Goodwyn... to shoot a feature length, period epic set in ancient history, on an Indie budget but with a big budget feel.....in Texas!! Just incredible. Some great acting, notably from Les Best and the director himself and a real visual treat with the costumes and props. The musical score is excellent, giving the feel of movies such as Gladiator and of course the editing really sets this apart. As I said, this is an Indie film....not a Hollywood blockbuster, but it delivers in so many ways, you will not be disappointed. Can't wait to see what comes next from Trigoodwyn productions.

I've seen other feature films from Director CJ Goodwyn and thought the stories were really strong. This is his best work yet though. I hope to see him act more in the future. Les Best is such a freaking indie film star. He killed it with this role, unsurprisingly. I found myself studying the props- they were more realistic looking than I ever would have expected out of a modern day Texas filmmaker. Some green talent throughout but some real shining stars performance wise. I would recommend checking this film out to anyone who appreciates Roman storytelling and/or independent film. Enjoy some raw talent.

I wasn't sure what to expect when viewing this feature. A friend asked me to go with and although it's clearly an independent film, some things really made it worth watching.

I believe it was made to look older as it was a bit of a haze drab feel, some shadowed faces, but that part didn't bother me much for its era. The gentleman that played the evil Roman leader really knocked it out of the park, excellent actor. The young lady you see grow up in the film truly deserves an award for her performance, not a dry eye in the theater by the end. Although I liked the story, some parts were not as clear to me or left me wanting to see more of what happened.

You can see a lot of hard work went into this film. It shows from the wardrobe, to the fight scenes, in the music, and more. Definitely watch it until the end!
