Corri e spara

A low budget film that punches above it's weight class. A clever idea for a film. If the budget was bumped up, they had an A-list actor and if wrote it less as a horror film; I could see this getting a following.

After leaving a life of crime and violence, Ray is a reformed good guy, enjoying a quiet family life in the 'burbs. But when his past is discovered, Ray is blackmailed into one last job to collect a mysterious package. After a deadly double-cross, he finds himself wounded and on the run from ruthless assassins who will stop at nothing to get what he has. Now, with the lives of his loved ones hanging in the balance and danger at every turn, Ray's only hope is to draw upon his violent past to survive.

Good, very good, fun, with that touch of acidic humor that we love, ironic and sensitive at the same time... With convincing performances and an engaging narrative, the smart guy being made of cake and the fool being smart, good twists, great ending, adorable...

What a load of crap. A weakly written story, diabolically directed and cringe worthy acting. Don't bother watching unless you really have nothing else better to do, like mowing the lawn or cleaning the toilet.

Criminal operator Ray (Ben Milliken) barely escapes with his life. He's hiding from a crime lord. He tries to go straight with an insurance job, his girlfriend, and her son. Grayson (Richard Kind) discovers his secret and blackmails him into one last job. It goes badly and he encounters Billings (Brad William Henke).

This is a small Australian crime thriller comedy. Ben Milliken is not quite leading man material but that's fine. Indies have limitations. The story is pretty basic except for the Mandela effect. That's a fun twist. My one big issue is that Ray should be smarter. He's set up as a superior street-smart criminal. When the tire gets slashed, he should know right away that someone is coming after the package. He can't waste time changing the tire. He needs to run and hide. He's also a little slow in a few other times. It's annoying when a smart character isn't quite so smart. The writing also has a few hiccups. A lot of this needs to be a bit smarter.

I had forgotten my IMDB credentials but this movie was so manure that I had to go through the extra work to leave this review.

If you have seen The Room, this is a sequel to that. Not thematically but otherwise. Not as funny, but definitely cringe-inducing in such a fashion that it will leave your face permanently disfigured.

Script is written by a child who likes dank memes, has never heard of "show, don't tell" nor has any idea how to people speak. Combine that with director that has no idea how to move the movie forward and just makes the most banal choices. Useless main character with whiny attitude. Even more useless bad guys with deep philosophical thoughts like "I like to imagine eating T-Rex when I am eating chicken". Terrible acting. Plot twists that make your hand start searching for nearest box cutter to end your life so you would stop feeling this deep vicarious embarrassment. This movie has it all.

The only thing that keeps you watching this thing is the curiosity on what idiotic thing will happen next. I guess that counts for something.
