    Absolute garbage!

    There is no way the positive reviews are real! They were definitely either friends or paid for. This is easily one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my entire life. No dialogue, horrible acting, and most likely filmed on an iPhone. Nothing made sense from start to finish and the camera work literally made me dizzy. There was nothing original about this movie whatsoever. It's shocking to me that streaming services will even carry movies like this. This is a good example of a film that you have to thoroughly check out before renting. We as viewers cannot just go by a quick glance of the reviews next to the title. I never leave reviews for movies I watch, but I felt so incredibly ripped off that I felt I had to. Do not waste your time or money!

    "Bastard Sons" is an unmissable gangster movie that will keep you enthralled throughout. With its stellar performances and gripping narrative, the film is sure to leave you captivated and entertained. Prepare to be taken on a thrilling journey filled with violence, suspense, and complex themes of family and loyalty.

    I WANT MY $6.99 BACK!!! The best part was the end...like when I turned it off!!!

    This is the worst movie I've seen in a long time. The plot is thin and a rip off of classics. There is zero character development, chemistry, or good dialogue. It's a redone story and redone poorly! The acting is poor and the action scenes were trash! Anyone giving this great reviews has to be planted. No way!!! It was community college level and that's being kind. HORRIBLE...skip it!

    I can't even begin to explain all the reasons this movie didn't work and it a hack job. Independent films need to be thought provoking and original. This movie was neither and was below low budet...no budget! JUST PLAIN BAD!!!

    A gangster flick we've been waiting for since the Sopranos ended

    In the tradition of gangster flicks like the Departed and films about brotherly bonds like 4 Brothers comes a meditation on family, fatherhood and the effects of raising children around violence and the criminal underworld. Written directed and starring Kevin Interdanato as the defacto boss of a small criminal empire in North Jersey, The Bastard Sons dives headfirst into a gritty story about revenge, greed and murder. The story and acting were all top notch and my only complaint is that the ending left me wanting a sequel! If you are looking for a no holds barred, bloody, action packed crime drama, look no further.

    Let down by the acting and the direction...

    One of those "better than I expected, but not as good as I'd hoped" movies.

    The story itself deserves some good will. The setup is good, the characters -- as written -- are an interesting bunch, and there are some "did not see that coming" moments.

    Unfortunately, the characters -- as acted out on the screen -- are a mixed bag from barely passable through to mediocre and laughable as far as the acting goes. The acting here is about on a par with those small budget Omeleto shorts.

    The directing is bland. The shoot outs and action scenes don't generate much excitement -- a fact underscored by some low budget special effects.

    With better actors and some good directing, this could have been an interesting movie.
