Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
SnoopyStyle Will Carson (Josh Cooke) is a convict who escapes after a car crash. He finds April Rogers (Jaime King) stuffing Martin Cheeder (Daniel Roebuck) into her car trunk. Will assumed Martin to be her husband but he turns out to be blackmailing her and is still alive. That soon changes when Martin drowns himself accidentally. Things keep getting more complicated when April's husband Karl Rogers (Silas Weir Mitchell) goes home and mistakenly assumes that April is having an affair with Martin. Of course, Karl is actually cheating on April with Nola (Missi Pyle) who turns out to be April's sister. The complications do not stop as the cops try to figure exactly what's going on.The movie needs to calm down the wacky comedy music. This could have been a good black comedy but the music keeps stepping on it. If I want to enjoy the wild black comedy, I don't want to be have a flashing sign pointing at it. Jaime King is a pretty good comedic actress and Josh Cooke isn't that bad. They are good together for the most part. I'm just not that impressed with Jim Kouf's writing or directing. He's trying too hard and not quite getting the comedy right. It's a wacky bumbling crime drama with a few moments of fun comedy.
ricelaker This movie moved well and I thought it was very funny. I found myself laughing out loud and I was watching the movie by myself. In the IMDb credits the characters Carl and April are listed with a last name of Rogers but in the movie they refer to Carl's last name as Dumas. Not a bad movie to watch as I could watch any movie with Jamie King. I love the scenery in that part of Montana- gateway to north part of Yellowstone. Great title for the movie. The movie is easy to watch and moves on quite nicely. If you are looking for a movie where you can sit back and laugh and wonder how they are going to handle one predicament after another this movie is for you.
davidm617-543-768484 I was barely three minutes into watching this film, when I said to myself, why haven't I ever heard of this movie? Skillful and energetic direction and editing, especially for such a low budget, a really dark comedic script, good pacing, fresh scenery, and enough twists and turns kept me glued, laughing and impressed all the way through. You can definitely see a bit of the Coen brothers or Spike Lee in this, although the violence is toned down—more suggestive than in your face. I read that some people thought the acting was sub-par. Not for me, although the wacky events that cause leads Josh Cooke and Jamie King to stomp around with their arms in the air in total frustration might make them appear, to some folks, to be performing over the top. But I liked that; I thought the performances fit with the tonality of the film.
Nick Damian A very cool movie - with an ending that fit right in.Now, this is of course based on simple minded cops who don't carry on to actually follow through with a real investigation.Alan wrote a movie which had an ending fir for anybody who doesn't have to do any real police type sleuthing or investigative work and it all tied in perfectly.Now, if they were real cops and had to do a real crime scene investigation, the story simply wouldn't exist.That aside, for a small budget movie and some fine entertainment, this is a movie which certainly can fit the bill.Just the right amount of dark humor and stupidity to get a good comedy mix.
