Reviews that cast stones in anonymity can usually be discounted for whatever personal bias they have with the production company.
Personally I think it was a pretty good movie for the extreme low budget it was made on. I think Craig and House did a fantastic job acting the roles. It was entertaining and even more so being based on an actually historical character. I think the natural lighting from the fire and sunsets where quite nice and didn't over do it so the viewer wasn't sitting there wondering how this person is perfectly lit at night time by a fire.
Now of course true independent film cannot be compared to Hollywood $300 million dollar budget films. So to be fair you compare with similarly budgeted films of its class. Which is what I do with all independent films.....judge based on its merit.
It pulled off a good entertaining film, with a few areas that need improving, but over all a great film experience.
Most reviews I ignore all together because they are usually based on a persons likes and dislikes which may be no where near my taste. Just read the synopsis and if it sounds interesting try it out. If you don't like it move on ....if you do.. well its always nice to find gems among the back alleys of the film industry.
