    I love this movie!!!

    Punk rock pulp fiction? This is a cult classic style movie that reminds me of the good old days of movie watching. It is just plain fun. Not trying to sell you anything or change the way you think, just pure wonderful entertainment. Thank you for this one Travis Mills, loved it.

    Great dark comedy that takes twisted turns all the way through

    Mr. Patch is a tragic main character but somehow everybody in this movie is trapped in a bad situation. The absurdity makes it comical in a very artful way. I was impressed how much this film draw me in. The whole cast is amazing. The director got the best out of everyone of them. The work of the cinematographer and the makeup artist is outstanding. I have found that you need to watch Travis Mills movies more than once to appreciate all the details and hints beside the center acts.

    Terrific and Suspenseful Comedy/ Drama

    Mr. Patch played by Richard Anderson is extremely talented as the clown. A comedy of sorts but soon turns into a suspensful meldodrama. A very fun movie to watch. I reccomend this movie to those that like something a little different from an ordinary clown.

    Top Notch

    I thoroughly enjoyed The Deadbeats. While I missed a few references from the beginning it didn't impact my enjoyment . I will watch it again for sure and please note if I watch a movie a second or third time I liked it a lot. Good job to the actors. Very authentic portrayals of the characters.

    UNDERRATED B MOVIE!!!

    Im frim czech so please forgive me my english. But i must speak, im not a relative or a friend of the creators, but i gave this movie 10/10 anyway. And why is that ? This movie is amateour, its true but in other hand is creative, funny and quirky. This movie has some very creative absurd scenes, like that one in weapons shop (Please, try that taser on me). Characters are well played and for low budget movie there was great effort. So, please cut this movie some slack, it was great.
