Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
christopherperryhalliwell Good storyline. I decided to check this out as Drew Fuller (Scott Kane) won best actor so it couldn't be too bad. The first scene is actually time wise at the end of the movie and the third scene is the actual beginning. Flashbacks and jumps in the time line as well as half scenes completed later brings mystery into it as well as miss guidance, leaving you wondering. Scott is a character one can feel for, being a father just trying to save his son, no matter what the cost. Speaking of costs the mixed loyalties and alliances also leave you wondering who's helping who?, plus Scott doesn't have it easy. Drew does an amazing job of displaying emotions in his eyes and vocal intensity and you can't tell he's faking the pain his character is in. He seems caring and is reluctant to kill again until his wife is in danger as well as his son. All around great movie besides a bit of language here and there and a few brief, nothing shown steamy scenes, as well as violence.
cmoyton I must admit i was pleasantly surprised upon watching this movie. The plot bears similarities to John Q and Inhale, in which again we see parents forced to take desperate measures in order to save their sick children's lives via organ transplants. Here Kane (played by Drew Fuller) reunites with a local hood (played by William Atherton)to perform one job ie a hit, in order to earn the funds required for his child's heart operation. Of course events do not go as planned with Kane being betrayed and then subsequently being squeezed both by the FBI and a corrupt cop.For a low budget movie the direction is mainly good (bar a few shaky camera movements) and the acting is decent. It helps having veteran actors William Devane and William Atherton on board. Ethan Embry also deserves credit in his role as the corrupt police officer(Olsen) who makes it his mission to track down Kane. Embrys' character is so mean he even kills his sister in law as she lies trapped and injured in a car wreck just to save his own skin. I also liked the scene were it appeared that Kane may shoot Olsen - watch as Olsen does not plead for his life.The movie was also fast paced which i appreciated and although some more character development and background details could have been added The Kane Files delivers as a thriller
Tony Heck "You got a choice to make. You can finish this job and go to jail and your kid will get the best care any kid could have, or you cannot finish this job, you still go to jail and your kid will die. What are you gonna do?" Scott Kane (Fuller) is a reformed criminal who is trying to live his life straight for once. After his seven year old son has a heart attack and Kane has no way to pay for the transplant on his own he decides to do one last job. After being double crossed he risks everything to save his son. Based on the preview I honestly expected this to be OK but a type of made for TV movie. While it did have the feel of a glorified made for TV movie this was very, very good. I loved "John Q" and I would call this one a more intense action version of that movie. Unlike most low-budget action movies this one really sucks you in and makes you root for the "bad guy". Being a father I can see where Kane is coming from and found myself really pulling for him throughout. Overall, not quite as good as "John Q." but this came as close as you can. I give it an A-.
Siddharth Krishna Dwivedi The Best Actor award won by this movie made me watch it.An ex-criminal who now lives a normal life suddenly has to do what he did best - crime. This movie shows how a man changes for his family again and again. Also it portrays that no one is your own if you get in their way of crime. One is exploited when he's helpless but at times those people fool you too, as there motive gets solved you are forgotten. And so the only option left is REVENGEI won't say it's the best attempt at crime but will not disappoint you. Drew Fuller has really performed very well and Whitney Able has a good role to her credit. William Devane's role is very twisted and good to watch.
