Stealing God (2005)
7/10
Independent Film, not a multi-million dollar Blockbuster
22 August 2007
This is an Independent film, not a multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster. I guess since it's available on Netflix and other websites, some people expect the world of the film, but really it's a testament to the cast and crew that a distributor and a film festival found this piece entertaining enough to put it next to the likes of "Office Space", "Star Wars", and "The Godfather", to name a few of the thousands of other films at Netflix. The film, not video, was made in ten days with all but no crew for under $30K, so before you rip it completely apart, think of how few things you can do anymore for that kind of money. Ask a thousand other aspiring filmmakers if they would like to see their independent film up at Netflix, even if people will shred it apart, and I'm sure you will get a yes every time. It's not "Jaws" people, and it's not claiming to be…it's a fun independent film that you will enjoy if you expect a low budget character piece with a great cast and a good moral to the story.
