    fun noir

    This was a pretty fun little dive into a bit of tawdry red shoe diaries or 90s late night USA channel style programming. If that's your kind of thing, SUPER recommend. A little sexy. A little violent. A bit over the top at times, but stays interesting throughout. I'll spare you the plot details, but there's enough here for the right audience. Thumbs up emoji.

    Intriguing Film Noir

    Big Mistake is an intriguing indie film noir. The story concerns Nick Alice, a bounty hunter, who is supposed to bring in Madison Campbell, but things get complicated when he starts to fall for her and finds that she might be more than he can handle. The film's writing is clever, keeping you guessing and providing interesting twists along the way -- which is essential in a great film noir. The cinematography is great for an indie film and the whole project is skillfully handled by director Michael Perez. If you're looking for an excellent indie film noir, I'd highly recommend Big Mistake!

    Horrible

    This movie is horrible. Only thing that could've helped this a little would've been nudity. THe Big Mistake was watching this garbage.

    Did not expect the twist

    I haven't seen a movie like this in awhile. It was giving a throwback into some of those classic 80's movies. I think the story also had some film noir aspects in it. I did not expect the twist in the middle and at the very end. Well done indie!

    Has there ever been a noir film without saxophone?

    Full disclosure: Director Michael Perez and I attended Navy broadcasting school together before remeeting for a year of service aboard an aircraft carrier, him creating and handing me the ship's first newscast after its mid-life drydock. I've not kept up with his work, so was excited to see all he'd become in Big Mistake. I knew the guy could edit, and he impressed me with his latest techniques. But the movie as a whole is what blew me away. His actors were convincing, his shots were well-framed, dialogue timed well when switching between shots, and effects were fun. (Their handling of lamp-to-head should be the template.) Kudos also to Writer Devin O'Leary, especially for the twist and ending, and to working with Director Michael to pull them off as well as they did. I look forward to further collaborations between Devin and whatever team Michael assembles.
