Pipe Nation

Literally the worst movie ever made. It's a want to be sons of anarchy with hints of oilfield work that really don't apply to the general idea. This literally has NOTHING to do with oilfield other then a couple of shotty brand names deals and hard hats. It's just "biker" dudes doing drugs and partying. It really is sad to see how the director views pipeline workers and over sexualizes the females who work pipeline. Come see Tammy from Nova Scotia she looks nothing like that. The acting is horrible and the flashback scene Ashley has with just repeated previous clips played on her wall is the worst movie stunt I've seen in my life.

Although not my typical cup of tea, it was entertaining to watch a film made by a local artist in a local setting stepping out with a dream and a desire to do something no one has done before them. My hat is off to the dreamers that dream, but more importantly the ones that actually step in the arena, vs those heckling from the stands.

As with every first effort, there will always be learning opportunities. Jordan got cut from his high school basketball team for a reason...he wasn't good enough to make the cut. PN, in my opinion isn't there yet, BUT with any major victory, there are thousands of setbacks that preceded it. Keep your head up team!

For me; THE PRO's- The cinematography was great. I loved the bar scene and energy displayed. The theme music was awesome.

THE CON's-Storyline was hard to follow. The characters were underdeveloped and the ending left me scratching my head.

With a major undertaking such as this, having a vision of shooting a pilot for a miniseries that morphs into a short movie may have caused some of the challenges. I can imagine it would be very difficult to change the vision after all the footage has been filmed.

One review states "time to debunk the oilfield"... yes, by showing every worker does drugs, foreman bangs employees, and all they do is party? This "movie" did nothing to portray the oilfield in a positive light, in fact, the opposite.. Have worked many pipelines, nothing was debunked here. When have protestors ever been permitted to be on site? Never. Paying off the environmental inspector? The EI is usually employed by the prime, nice try! Huge storyline holes, who is Grady? Why does a knockoff Sons of Anarchy character care about a pipeline being finished? No authenticity, radio coms aren't even authentic. Waste of time, poor voice over video editing. "Eckspecially". Own film actor even rated film 7/10. Camera isn't focused. Poor acting. Where is a Sherpa just kept on a pipeline for emergencies when heli can't land? So inauthentic and it blows my mind how hard one actor pushes this film on social media, I'd be embarrassed to be part of oilfield work and stand behind this as a portrayal of his industry.

I didn't like rebranding it to a movie as it does have lots of gaps that need to be filled in it. But this if this continue as a show. I'm sure it will would keep other sinked in. I loved how Ashley struggles and portrays her pain and her family feeling it all. I loved how they showed the sacrifice and this longing heart. Ashley shows deep dedication to fix in, while non-stop obstacles are thrown at her.

The story does get a little messy without the introduction of who Nick really is to Ashley. As I know the story to it, it didn't potray that. And was she with the red headed man at the time she was with him? There's a few gaps to the story line. But I see lots of potential and some reality pipelinners go through.

For an indie movie, I think this was very well done and thought of. A group of Albertans coming together to try and relate to the oilfield women and men out there. When can we see more of it!

This is hands down the worst movie I have ever watched to sum it up in one word terrible. It really is 53 minutes of your life you won't get back I'm truly surprised I sat through the entire thing. When you think it can't get any worse it does if I could give it no stars I would . It couldn't be any further from the reality of the pipeline life and does not live up to the hype.....acting is horrendous story line is garbage and just feels slapped together . You almost feel embarrassed for the people in it . Spare yourself and take my word for it this movie isn't worth your time or money . Only good part was uncle hack DC69 BABY.
