The Bastard Sons

The positive reviews for this film reek of people who worked on the film or friends of the director. This movie is bad and not even funny bad, it is cringeworthy. You want to watch a bunch of middle aged men who aren't hard pretend to do the tough guy act? Watch this. The performances are poorly done and thus it comes off as cringe. There is one funny part of this movie and that is the shoot out scene where the acting is at its worst. Looks like they couldn't even get blanks for the movie as the muzzle flash is the horrible post production effects. You also have the actors pretending to shoot the weapons in overly exaggerated manners with horrible camera work. This is like a worse version of the middling movie Four Brothers and doesn't even touch Sopranos.

If you dig gangster movies and you're a Jersey native then this is the movie for you. So go grab your self a pork roll egg and cheese a good whiskey and check this one out.

Directed with taut precision and style, the film dives deep into the murky world of organized crime and explores the complex dynamics of family and loyalty.

"Bastard Sons" is an unmissable gangster movie that will keep you enthralled throughout. With its stellar performances and gripping narrative, the film is sure to leave you captivated and entertained. Prepare to be taken on a thrilling journey filled with violence, suspense, and complex themes of family and loyalty.

There is no way the positive reviews are real! They were definitely either friends or paid for. This is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life. No dialogue, horrible acting, and most likely filmed on an iPhone. Nothing made sense from start to finish and the camera work literally made me dizzy. There was nothing original about this movie whatsoever. It's shocking to me that streaming services will even carry movies like this. This is a good example of a film that you have to thoroughly check out before renting. We as viewers cannot just go by a quick glance of the reviews next to the title. I never leave reviews for movies I watch, but I felt so incredibly ripped off that I felt I had to. Do not waste your time or money!

As a film fanatic that has watched movies from shorts, to indies, to those summer blockbusters, this was truly a pleasant surprise. When you know a project doesn't have a ton of money behind it you have to focus more on the story, the writing, acting, & all the other little pieces that move it along. By the end this is a film that leaves you wanting more & hopefully if there is a sequel it gets that bigger budget it rightfully deserves. Think Four Brothers meets the Knockaround Guys (if you haven't seen those films, you should) & if you aren't a fan of that genre that's ok, this film has multiple twists & reveals that would satisfy the "who done it" & thriller crowds alike. 8/10.

"The Bas+ard Sons" is an exceptional cinematic experience, thanks to Kevin and his talented team. The gripping story line they've crafted is both compelling and thought-provoking, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats throughout. The surprise ending adds an extra layer of intrigue, leaving audiences with lingering excitement and a desire for more. Kevin's direction and the team's attention to detail truly shine, making this movie a standout. The potential for a prequel or sequel has me eagerly anticipating more from this compelling universe. Moreover, the film showcases New Jersey as a fantastic backdrop, raising hopes for it to be the setting for the next great series featuring the Garden State. Kudos to Kevin and the entire team for delivering an unforgettable cinematic experience!
