Wordiezett So much average
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
sportsbros808 On the surface Rushlights seems like it is going to be another conman/grifter flick but it delivers so much more. It presents a really solid suspenseful storyline.The basics of the story are these: Billy and Sarah are con men for Los Angeles who go to a small Texas town to claim an inheritance that is not theirs. Of course the town is even more corrupt and twisted than even they are. Aidan Quinn and Beau Bridges are brothers and both are prominent members of the community. It's hard to tell if the brothers are after Billy and Sarah because the smell a rat or just because they are "outsiders" in their town.Overall, Rushlights is a solid suspense drama with a lot of twists and turns. Haley Webb does a great job as Sarah and Bridges is terrific. My favorite performance is delivered by Aidan Quinn. I have been a fan of his for years. I've always liked him in Elementary and he does not disappoint in Rushlights.If you get a chance to catch this film I highly recommend you watch it.
oeqmfjjc Honestly and truthfully, I thought this was going to be semi-mediocre, at best. My girlfriend is a big Josh Henderson fan, so she made me watch go and see it. Anyway, I don't know and am not really sure what some of these people are talking about on here. Slow-paced? Boring? Yeah right! I almost fell out of my chair at one point in the movie! I was really, really, really impressed, and I don't say that often. I did not expect it to be anywhere near that good! The acting was much better than I expected too, for sure. Beau Bridges killed it, as always. The whole, entire production was pretty impressive come to think of it. Go see it now!
tanyashultz247 Alright, first of all, if you came out to see t*ts and a$$, you should just go jerk off to a p0rn. There are some very obvious male reviews on here saying stuff like, "as a fan of film nudity…" and all I read is, "blah blah blah…where are Hayley Webb's t*ts? #disappointment" Seriously. Grow the f… up! Hayley is out there kicking a$$, making things happen! From a female and feminist perspective, there's nothing more refreshing. Finally a heroine who does more than just cries and waits for a male savior! If you gave Rushlights 1/10 because there wasn't enough lady- flesh, go back your p0rn sites. Rushlights is a very cool, a true modern film noir – to those of you that are serious about film - go see it. BTW: The acting in the movie is exceptional!
Valentine Thomas Rushlights stars Josh Henderson and Haley Webb as an unscrupulous young couple trying to pull off a seemingly simple con; all they have to do is drive to Texas, pass Webb off as a recently deceased acquaintance, collect an inheritance, and skip town before anyone gets wise. Of course, if the con really were that simple, there'd be no movie, so Henderson and Webb end up getting wrapped up in some predictable small-town intrigue involving Beau Bridges and Aidan Quinn—middle-aged brothers who are, respectively, the town's sheriff and its top lawyer.Unabashedly pulpy, Rushlights brings to mind the noir chap's churned out by the studios of Hollywood's Poverty Row in the early 1950s. It has a few of the better qualities of sub-B noir—above-average camera-work, a rogues gallery of bit players—and all of the flaws. It even has the sort of slipshod pacing—complete with abrupt, anticlimactic dissolves—that is usually associated with productions trying to conserve film stock.Whatever pleasure could be derived from the movie's generically twisty plotting is negated by cardboard characterization, indifferent editing rhythms, and a score that sounds like it was pulled from a production music library. Henderson and Webb are non-presences cast in roles that are less characters than collections of plot twists; because Rushlights spends so much time on two protagonists that nobody bothered to write or play, it ends up feeling overlong (even the blandest '50s quickies at least had the virtue of only running an hour). As if to make up for the blandness, director/co-writer Antoni Stutz—whose only prior feature is the Traci Lords/Julie Bowen vehicle You're Killing Me—throws in a lot affected violence; pseudo-shocking stranglings, stabbings, and bludgeons are a regular occurrence. As a result, the movie resembles a flavorless meal doused with hot sauce.
