The Devil and the Daylong Brothers

It is a terrible movie with lots of music that happens in the southern backwoods.

Or is it a really bad western located in the southern backwoods with lots of music?

Or it is a long music video with singing cowboys set in the southern backwoods.

Whatever it is, please skip it to save whatever few left brain cells. This film is all over the place, without any rhyme or reason. It has a cowboy vibe, but it is not set in the southern backwoods. It wants to be a comedy, but not funny....ever. Maybe it will be an action thriller? Nope. The action is three stooges, slapstick, and no tension. It is three guys hamming it up in front of a camera(not a movie camera, an iPhone 12, maybe) and singing. Yes...that is it.

This film is so incredibly rich. The characters are deeply developed and riveting and the storyline is engaging and surprising. I've never scene any like this film.

It feels like Quentin Tarantino made "O' Brother Where Art Thou" but in a way that feels intimate and personal. It's the right combination of violence, beauty, folklore, and hope. The action scenes are real and gritty, while the songs compliment there scenes in a way I never saw coming.

The actors embodied their characters in such and powerful way. I felt connected to them.

The story, the songs, and the score are all outstanding. Truly a unique and powerful film.

An epic and wild ride you won't regret. This movie is unlike one you've ever seen! Camp and vengeance underscored with the most powerful bluesy soundtrack. It was "Hadestown" meets "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" with all of Tarantino's guns... come for the fun and stay for the heartbreak and stunning cinematography in this surprisingly touching story about who and where we come from and who we are destined to be....

Brendan Bradley, Nican Robinson and Jordon Bolden played off one another so beautifully and their brotherly banter was one of the most riveting parts of this film, which says a lot since every moment is action packed. And the music!!! It will stay with me for a long time.

I wasn't sure what to make of this show at first. But I am so glad I watched it. To me, it was if you crossed Supernatural with a Broadway show. I think the songs were great! It presented a good story line and the acting was great. Though, to be honest, I felt Jordan's performance was way over the top. And I don't mean to knock him. I am sure he is very talented actor. I don't know if the actors actually did the singing in the movie, but if they did, kudos! To me this was actually scripted to be a Broadway show originally instead of a movie. But if it wasn't, they should consider making it one.

The whole movie was very engaging and the ending was unique and haunting. Very impressive acting, storytelling, and the music was integrated perfectly.

I expected the ending to be executed in a stereotypical "redeeming" ending, but the way the characters made their decision made sense.

The main characters defying the stereotypes of being "good people" also added to the depth of the movie.
