10 Grams

I have recently watched this on iTunes UK. It's an independent film made with a micro budget. I wasn't really expecting much from this as I've seen other micro budget films that have disappointed me, but this isn't one of them.

It is well written and well directed. It has a really good story, the characters are convincing, there is a good standard of acting from all of the cast and they all play well off each other.

There are a couple of places where the sound let it down, as other reviewers have said BUT don't let this put you off, it is a really good film and I'd recommend watching it.

Be warned though that there are some scenes of nudity and it is not subtle nudity! However, it is in context with the story and the characters.

I really enjoyed watching this film. I was pleasantly surprised. It was nice to see a film with places that I know and have been to in Derby. It was also nice to hear some Derby accents, other films that have been made in the city have Cockneys, Americans and anything but a local accent. It was well written with some things in it that I didn't see coming.

The main character spends a lot of his time in a strip club. I like the strip scenes, when I watch a film with strippers in I want to see them do a full strip and this film delivered! The film was well acted and it wasn't the usual run-of-the-mill gangster/organised crime film.

One of the draw backs is that in some places the sound is not up to the standard of the visuals but this only happens on a couple of occasions, but when you realise it was made for only a few grand you can forgive this small niggle.

I love crime dramas. They are my favorite genre. You could compare this film to The Counsellor as both stories are quite similar. However this films budget was probably less than The Counsellors catering budget! Obviously 10 Grams does not have the production values but still managed to get scenes that involved airfields and airplanes and nightclubs etc. which must have eaten into their budget.

It doesn't have big Hollywood named stars in it, however the cast does do a convincing job. The story is simple and coherent, which cannot be said for The Counsellor! This film is an honest attempt by all those involved to tell a story.

It was made on a tiny budget but overall it was a good effort to tell a story.

It has been a while since I watched a decent crime film. There were times where I thought I wasn't expecting that to happen and therefore the film kept me interested and intrigued. The storyline is to the point and doesn't over exaggerate which is an advantage. The lead actors and supporting cast have done a fantastic job staying true to their characters well done guys. There are minor sound issues however that ain't a big deal. In this film I like how the 2 elements of crime and emotion blend in together very well. It bring about a real sense of feeling for me. The strip scenes lived up to my expectations and therefore were very interesting to watch as were the confrontational scenes as well. A MUST WATCH FILM!!!.

This movie has porn quality production but less story and less sex minus a couple scenes.
