    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.

    This "movie" is a cheap joke

    My 16 yr old recently made a film as a school project. It's some 20 times better than this un-talented waste of time. Well, what to expect from fake "wanna be" directors and writers who can justify their "movie career" only by listing their amateur films here and spending more time writing fake ratings than making more movies (if you google this Justin Eugene Evans, this is his only film in his 30+ yr long "professional career"). The guy actually walks around bragging about some 60 awards he got (!!!) and asking young people if they wanna "star" in his future projects. Not kidding, I did some research, because I was wondering who would make something this cheap and bad. Also, check out these 9 and 10 star ratings - all fakes; Never gave any other ratings and reviews other than this. Sad, pathetic and time-wasting experience. Best to be avoided at any cost.

    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.

    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.

    Is this movie for real??

    Wow, I don't usually leave reviews, but since I've lost some 30 minutes of my life (that's how long I could handle this), I felt a need to share with the world. This is so bad, I initially thought it's a joke, a parody, etc. Unfortunately it's just a very cheaply done, jokingly bad, bad attempt to make a movie. I felt sorry for those actors, they did a decent job. Even the plot is not that bad, I've seen worse. But the way this is shot, edited, colorized - it's obviously someone's ego trip while proving to himself, the world and his mama that he can make a movie. Good for you.
