Action! Action!

Last weekend, I caught Action! Action!, an indie action flick directed by and starring Adam Kilbourn, and what a ride! This movie is for grabbing a bucket of popcorn, kicking back, and letting the car chases, explosions, and fistfights wash over you. It's here to show you a good time, and it totally delivers.

The story follows a group of friends hired to swipe Al Capone's last painting from the Mob Museum in downtown Vegas. Big surprise - everything goes nuts, and you're in a world double-crosses, screeching tires, and stuff blowing up left and right.

Adam throws himself into the lead role, and you can tell he's having a blast. He's got this charm that makes you root for him, whether he's dodging bullets or throwing punches. The cast, all Vegas locals, brings some great synergistic energy. A car chase through Vegas, fight scenes with kung fu kicks that feel like they came out of an old-school action flick. And the explosions are out of a big budget blockbuster. Plus, the movie's got this goofy sense of humor that keeps things light.

Action! Action! Pulled off something special with a tiny budget, making Vegas shine and proving indie films can pack a punch. I walked out grinning, already wanting to see it again with my friends. If you're down for a night of pure, unfiltered action movie madness, hunt this one down.

Action-Packed, Funny, and Full of Surprises - A Must-Watch!

This movie is a thrill ride from start to finish! It keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. You actually find yourself rooting for the bad guys - and just when you think they've conquered their challenges, there's a twist that changes everything!

The plot is full of unexpected turns, including a high-adrenaline car chase, explosive action scenes, intense fight sequences, and just the right amount of unexpected humor that hits perfectly. One of the coolest aspects is that it's filmed in Las Vegas, using the city's iconic backdrop to elevate the action even more.

There are lots of laugh-out-loud moments that break up the tension in all the right ways. It's incredibly entertaining - definitely a movie you can watch more than once. With the way things end, there's definitely potential for a sequel.

Highly recommended! This movie lives up to its name. Great job.

Attending the Los Angeles premiere of Action! Action! Was an absolute blast from start to finish. What truly sets this film apart is its effortlessly worn sense of humor, a refreshing and consistently engaging delight.

The on-screen chemistry among the cast is palpable, making every interaction crackle. Marcus Weiss, in particular, delivers several scene-stealing moments that showcase his brilliance. Equally impressive is the talent behind the camera. The cinematography helmed by Jeremy Le is striking, and the exceptional use of practical effects by Andrew Comrie-Picard stands out as some of the finest craftsmanship I've witnessed in recent indie filmmaking.

Directors Danny Shepherd and Adam Kilbourn have truly outdone themselves. Their visionary direction is evident in how they breathtakingly utilized the vibrant spectacle of Las Vegas, weaving iconic locations into the narrative and staging a truly thrilling full-scale action sequences. They've undeniably assembled an all-star squad for this fantastic feature.

I had so much fun with this film!!!

Now I may not have professional experience nor traditional education in filmmaking, and I did go into this film knowing it was an independent production, but I was personally blown away by the quality brought by the team despite it being an indie film!!

Action/Heist, the fight choreography is so good, works with the cinematography at times to elevate tension, and the Heist story is very well crafted and also still knows how to have fun, some really funny moments in this!! (Oh Wow, I only just saw on IMDb that Lance Brazil worked on this, he's awesome!! He did a great job!)

Everybody gave a really great performance which complimented the film quite a bit! Adam, Marcus, Shana, what a fantastic trio of main actors, love the way they play off of each other! Aaron and Lundon too, omg!

Adam gave the protagonist such a charismatic and fun personality, but also really brought it whenever an intense moment hit. And Marcus is so much fun to watch, the back and forth between the two, the energy he brought to the role, even when his character is goofing around, you can't help but enjoy watching his performance! I wanted to mention too, Mari was so badass, really want to see more of her!

Jeremy, Cinematography, above and beyond, for an indie action/heist film i didn't expect certain shots and sequences in the film which were dripping with style and also technique, we've got subtle dolly zooms, timelapses of Las Vegas, and some gorgeous close-ups at times which play with focus and add beauty to so many moments throughout!

John Scigulinsky, composer, I'm a fan of his previous work, similar to others who worked on this film, and I feel that he really knocked it out of the park once again!! With a score befitting a full-length feature film, so much of it simply adds so much to the scene, whether it be tension, high-octane action to a chase-sequence, or the set-up for mysterious antagonist, Mr. X. Meanwhile there are a few select moments that pop so much due to paying wonderful and stylish homage to the iconic themes of James Bond with a few reminiscent moments.

The film has a story that feels bigger than what you'd expect from an indie film, and yet grounds it's story in more personal danger and risk than many blockbusters out there nowadays which rely on a world-ending dilemma to build tension. For me, this was lovely to experience, and I applaud Adam Kilbourn, Danny Shepherd, and all the rest, for their work to create this awesome film! I hope they all keep going, keep creating, and keep being awesome!

A phenomenally fun throw back to classic action movies. Done with style and humor and yep...you guessed it. Loads of action. Director, Writer, Producer, and Actor Adam Kilborn uses his hometown of Las Vegas Nevada as the backdrop for this fun indie film that feels like a big budget studio picture. Using the city as a backdrop about a heist gone sideways...this picture (almost wanted to say flick there because it's just a wonderful escape) has everything you are looking for. Superbly acted. Wonderfully directed. And...yeah I'll say it just entertaining as hell. It's getting some play in select markets but if it comes to your city you would do yourself a disservice not to check this out on the big screen. It's a romp. It's exciting. It's just straight out fun.
