Blue Ridge

I don't know what some of the other reviewers are talking about. "Low budget"??? Have any of you actually seen a real "low budget" movie? This one does not have the look and feel of "low budget".

Story was good. Acting solid. Visuals and sound were good. The only thing that really bothered me was the incessant score. I hate movies that think there MUST be music playing every second. But that issue aside, it was engaging and enjoyable.

I will say it lacked any hint of "political correctness", which may account for some of the negative reviews.

This would have made a nice pilot for a series. But alas, sans the aforementioned political correctness, it would never even be considered.

Kudos to the cast and crew!

A little cheesy, and probably could have used a budget and script upgrade- BUT overall, it was entertaining, kept me guessing and I didn't lose interest.

This easily rates a 7.5, uf not higher! Exceptional acting all-around>> no weak characters! They all had substance, flaws, REAL PEOPLE feel, if that makes sense! The sheriff of course with his past, coming back to his town. The ex-girlfreind and mom to his 12 yr old daughter meshed perfectly with the main story>> You kno they try to fit in a partner, but there's no need? This one involveds her nicely! The daughter rven had a nice part. The Great story line; no plot holes I could find anyway. Wonderful, satisfying ending! Wish I coukd find more like this!

The music matched what was going on perfectly, also I might add.

A poorly made series that they accidentally made as a movie with Native culture, admirable stuff, tons of cliches, more unrealistic situations that you can count, dialogues that were written by schoolboys, an estranged wife Elli that gets hives by just touching Justin, not a single kiss throughout the whole ordeal.

After that, 2020, four years later they realized what a mistake they made, wanted to get it better, but actually made it far worse. Seriously, the series is a little worse by miles, though I enjoyed both mildly.

I thought this movie delivered. I thought it had a good storyline, the characters were interesting enough and the mystery of who had committed the murder wasn't predictable. All in all it's better than most of the terrible movies put out by mainstream Hollywoood these days.
