    Interesting and funny

    This film is by far one of the greatest Indie films thats ive seen.at first i was not digging it but after the first couple of scenes i was enjoying it.the comedy in this film is dark,so Keep that in mind... i like the charactera and the story is good.Some parts of the film are kind of suprising. All in All this film wont be a dissapointment.You'll get a good kick out of it .

    Very decent for an indie flick

    A buddy of mine mentioned this movie to me recently so I decided to check it out. I'm not a big indie flick kinda guy, but this one was decent. The acting is on par with most low budget productions. The movie is worth giving a watch, there are some pretty funny parts in the movie

    Dark but different

    The film is very entertaining but I gave it 4 stars because the profanity was fluently expressed in this production and it's cringy at times.

    Daphne is my fave character because it would just be the average dark genre of film without her.

    The script was pretty decent just hoped the profanity would stop at some point in time, overall interesting.

    Solid Indie Film That has you at the edge of your seat

    This movie was solid. It would have benefitted from a higher budget but they did a great job with what they presumably given. The acting was tough in certain sections but storyline really carried the film. The concept of a deaf housewife turned hitman is pretty unique.

    fun but...

    Extremely chaotic and shifting in suspence and comedy. because its a comedy about a deaf woman who has a deaftifying love against her abusive partner, kills him like a deaf woman do, are being hired in by hired killers to do the job as a hired killer.

    there a lots of money and pride in the kill for hire profession, and the devious killeress dives into the project with or without batteries in her hearing aid, and makes this madening tumbing ride towards wealth and eardrumming fame like in a turner and hooch style black comedy version.

    the female lead really does her job as deaf, her mimics and way of vocabular expression are a 1 hundred percent hit, so do also the male lead who has written and directed and most surtainly paid for this whole operation steel wool.

    the rest of the cast gives you the steretypical image of the underworld, all delivering well. there are parts, though few, that couldve been arranged differently and the end section are weird, but overall its a warpspeeding story that will bring joy and happiness to y'all, if pimping cider or beer with a paper clip in your ear.

    the grumpy old man recommends a watch, after all its up to you to consider, i saw it and liked it.
