If you've seen the trailer, you know exactly what you're getting. It ain't District 9, but it is an excellent flick for its audience. It's better than lots of stuff on SyFy or basic cable for that matter.
I've followed Mike Conways career for a while. I admire his dedication and perseverance. The guy makes movies. He does what it takes. If that means waiting tables, refinancing his house, taking music lessons, or learning a new program he'll do it. It's the kind of dedication that is severely lacking in the indie film world. Most indie filmmakers I meet, expect the studio deal to be handed to them. Mike has built his own studio and I admire that.
Exile is a fun watch. The story is solid and doesn't go in the expected direction. The score is fantastic. The efx are way above par for an un-studio flick. It's an enjoyable quick watch. Grab the popcorn, turn down the lights and enjoy.
