    bad

    Boring, no action, horrible directing (and editing), music is equally bad. Acting was so-so, but it seems like actors behave by instinct and not by script. It's like they were improvising the whole time, guessing lines. Very bad

    WAAAAY too long for what it is

    This whole thing should be packed in a solid 15 min short. Why stretching it so long when there is no substance, or artistic quality to make people go through it all? That was a big mistake. Directing is extremely bad. you're not supposed to pay attention to directing, but this movie makes you pay almost ALL attention to it - in a very frustrating way. I can't explain it, I did not feel comfortable for some reason, being so much "aware" of directing and photography. This movie can't really compete with anything "real". It feels like a home project, or a school project (done by a non talented kid who just wants to get a passing grade). Sorry, I wouldn't give this "project" a pass. My advise - skip.

    Something quite different about this movie.. but room to improve

    Plusses; some nice cinematography, great acting by Marquand, pretty cool basic plot, nice retro vibe and instagram feel Minusses; Some ham-fisted acting by the actors. Still bearable though. Robert's character is just a bit too soft to believe his back story... He seems better suited to a family feel good movie. Some unnecessary details that aren't developed. The basic crime/fundament is really poorly described and weak as a basis for what it gives rise to. Worth a watch but almost comes across as the 70's gun drama the retro vibe would like to be suggesting, if it weren't for Marquand's strong performance. What more can I say.

    Very bad movie

    I don't know how did I get to see it anymore, I remember someone showing me this film, laughing. I paid attention then I started laughing too - I am not a professional film maker, I do some birthdays and parties - but this is the worst video work I've ever seen. The best scene was the ending credits. Avoid if possible. If not, then suffer watching it.

    Easily the worst thing I've ever watched

    I've seen some pretty dumb cheap indie films. You never know where you'll find the gem, something worth watching, something artistic, different. Well, this movie ain't that. I think that the actual equipment, film, lights, makeup, tapes, etc is worth way more than the movie itself. I honestly don't believe that most ratings and comments here are real. This is a horrible attempt to make a film just for the sake of making a film. Just as a guy who sucks at playing a guitar books a gig just so he can say "I'm in a band" or something. Someone made this movie only so he/she could say "I am a movie producer (or a director)..." I rarely leave any reviews, my life is too short for that, but this ***** took away time I'll never get back. the worst thing is the guy who made me see it promised a good laugh. And he was indeed laughing the whole time at technical stuff - visible microphone, bad acting, unintentional camera shaking (as if the camera guy tripped in the middle of the scene), horrible sound, etc. I didn't find it funny, it was sad.
