Downeast

I thoroughly enjoyed this film from start to finish. The color and sound was absolutely great! I felt like i was watching it in a theater instead of at home and it wasn't like other independent films where the sound is spotty. The Maine actors did really well portraying characters that felt real and alive. I was invested in the relationships, as heartbreaking as they were. I highly recommend.

A pretty badly acted movie with stupid dialogues. Boring.

This movie tries so hard to pass Portland off as "the Downeast" and fails so miserably that I can't help but laugh. It also seems to think that smuggling and selling heroin is some kind of big mafia-run operation along the coast when in reality that kind of stuff usually either comes across the border from Canada via air drops or up I-95 from points south (mostly Massachusetts and New York). Heroin isn't even that big in the Downeast, they're way more into pills and crystal meth out that way. This movie basically muddles up Lewiston, Bangor, Portland, the concept of lobstermen, and The Departed into some flatlander's idiotic idea of "the Downeast." Also the only actor who can pull off a Maine accent is Kirk Fox, and he's from California.

WOW...... This is really worth your while..... With all the lame movies coming out of Hollywood lately this is a definite throwback to a much better time for movies... Very engrossing...well made and every bit of acting is spot on!!

A simple plot executed in a believable manner which makes this movie a worthwhile watch. The characters are gritty and not exaggerated like Hollywood typically does.
