    Entertaining, unique ride with vigilantes taking down bad guys

    This movie is unique, entertaining, and unpredictable which is nice. It's better that a lot of the content on the streamers and tent pole theatricals. The cinematography is well done. I loved the chemistry between the two male leads and the mysteriousness and craziness of the female lead. Without spoiling anything, I got satisfaction from the way the sexual predators were dealt with. It was cool seeing Raymond J. Barry who usually plays a father or a cop in most movies (Tom Cruise' dad on Born on the Fourth of July) and shows (Arlo in Justified) play a totally different character. The dream sequences are awesome. The variety of locations and interesting characters was fun. I hope one of the streamers turns this into a series because I'd love to spend more time with the characters and see more of their mission. The Bella character could even get her own show. This isn't really a holiday movie although the story happens on Christmas Eve/Day, but I will definitely make watching this a new holiday tradition.

    AMAZING!! Give it a watch

    I was so excited for this movie's release, and I couldn't wait to watch it on the first day! I had high expectations, and it definitely didn't disappoint. It's an incredible film that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. From the heartwarming moments to the intense, jaw-dropping scenes, it'll have you laughing, crying, gasping in surprise, and even applauding. The performances were exceptional, and the story kept me hooked from start to finish. The visuals were stunning, and the soundtrack really added to the overall experience. I highly recommend giving this one a watch-you won't regret it! I do wish we could have seen it in theaters, though. I can only imagine how amazing it would have been on the big screen.

    Get Filthy!

    A Fantastic Film. FA features a very cool blend of genres and very fun references to other films sprinkled throughout. I really enjoyed the chemistry of the two main characters. Its fun at times. Messed up at times. Cool sounds and visuals too! The spaghetti western film within the film is a fun ride. It was shot very well and one can tell a lot of thought and love went into its production. There's a really neat blend of music in it as well. Some horror vibes as well as punk and western flairs. Also some really neat dreamy music as well. This all adds up to a very unique and entertaining film about a very intense subject matter. Definitely recommended.

    Uneven film but promising director

    I enjoyed this film. Some of the writing is a little rough, and it's clearly a low-budget effort, but the treatment of the subject matter felt fresh, and the director's voice and aesthetic seemed to come from an authentic place. The genre is a bit of a mash-up that you might call dark stoner dramedy. The film balances its darker, more unsettling moments with quirky humor, creating a unique tonal blend that sets it apart. If you're open to work that can feel simultaneously pop and bizarre, with a willingness to explore its imperfections, this film is absolutely worth a viewing. I look forward to North's next effort.

    Fantastic Indie

    James T North gives an absolute stunner for his first project. He has his own unique storytelling with hints of Tarantino and whiffs of the Coen Brothers. The dedication and detail he and the cast gave on this movie shows throughout and helps it shine.

    Ryan and Austan have great chemistry and banter that keeps things rolling forward. Raymond gives a great performance as Lester. Peter Larney also plays his part extremely well. Mena does a great job in her part as Bella.

    Overall, you can tell North was deliberate in every thing he did and put a lot of dedication into this movie. Give it a watch.
