This movie had so much potential but it was like a long form version of a bad episode of a crime procedural.
Why the coloring? Why is the movie filtered so strangely lol Did anyone involved in this movie look into court reporting or talk to any real life court reporters? 360wpm is way, way faster than they read in the movie, The steno machine has a stand and there's a proper way to sit at it. It's not propped on a table. And steno notes DO have to be stored, by law, for a certain period of time. But I guess they would've had to write something more clever /talk to the extras who played court reporters if they'd done the research.
This movie could've been interesting AND informed the public about the court reporting profession, but it just played pretend and also fell flat in so many areas of the story.

This will go down in years to come as a cult classic.
Characters in this film are nothing short of wonderful.
The acting is spot on, a lovely storyline of revenge and honesty.
A soft hearted Court reporter gets fed up with seeing bad guys go free and takes it upon himself to deal out a bit of self justice, then his friend gets wrongly accused of an evil crime so he goes after the real perpetrator.....
At first I thought it was a comedic affair, but it turns out to be a unique quirky thriller with a twist or two.
Well worth a watch , I cannot understand the poor reviews. I loved it from start to end.

A stenographic vigilante is not a common theme and opens up vast number of avenues for the plot to grow. But the movie's first half was too distracted with introducing the manic nature of the central character rather than focusing on the plot's progress. Introducing irrelevant characters such as romantic partners wasn't making much effect or useful. Final twist was great but police showing their findings for the sake of neighborly acquaintance was one out of many illogical things in this story. However the visuals were haunting and performances were sincere. Walden is a story that's very much interesting when summed up.
I feel like the pacing and writing was massively meant for television. It was good film but but protracted at points and then wrapped up too quickly. It felt it had threads to unwrap but none of them did in a one hour and forty minute film. Acting was great and production very good but it did, at times, feel like a television series.
Main guy camps up the main role but presumably on purpose to make it feel less droll with the subject matter in hand which at times is as dark as it gets.
Enjoyed this but interested to know if it was meant instalments which might mean more films or a spin off series.

First I gotta say this snuck up on me, this film is a independent cult classic, the dark humor & sinister plot twist was paced well for me, this movie is not too over the top for your senses, the direct too the point main character is just right. The connoisseurs of independent cinema should enjoy, hell I did. I gotta add it's a damn shame this film didn't get the push like most films but you gotta be plugged into the mainstream for that, that being said this film stands on it's own merit. The pacing of this film was not full of cliches too bog a viewer down, the main character was all in, the supporting cast was not out of place for me at all.
