Dirty Shield

This movie is of such amateurish production quality I wasn't even sure it would be listed on IMDB.

According to the IMDB listing, the "estimated" budget of the film was $150,000. It's not clear whether that estimate was from the producers or surmised by IMDB reviewing staff.

For a movie filmed in 2014, I'm pretty sure cell phone video was superior to what is shown on film. Further, all the dialogue is of a quality seemingly captured on the cheesy in-camera microphone from a hand-held camera or iPhone. I guess re-dubbing was never a consideration.

The plot for all it's worth is reasonable though formulaic. But the direction is below bares bones-ish and the acting is frankly poor - as if a number of friends all got together to pitch in on a film.

The quality of the production severely detracted from what otherwise might be a passable film. The climax of the film culminated in a major surprise "reveal" of the perpetrator of a major plot crime. This then led to a gunfight. However, by this time all the air had already been sucked out of the moment.
