UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Fimano I had the opportunity to attend the premiere for this movie in Dallas last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very reminiscent of BONNIE & CLYDE but with a twist. Leads Jesse James and Mariana Paola Vicente played well off each other and the film employed a plethora of well-known character actors, such as Burton Gilliam, Dennis O'Neill, and Larry Jack Dotson. Overall, it was a really good movie and I look forward to seeing what director Norman Gregory McGuire delivers next.
josephshaw-57935 I felt that this movie was outstanding. It kept me on my toes the whole time. The plot is full of hidden symbolism and irony. I felt the acting was excellent to good and the direction of the film was fantastic. It is a very good movie to watch and then to discuss with some friends.
normagallegos ...but, it's original content. It's not "Machine Gun Preacher" or the TV Show "Preacher". It's not even a hybrid. I don't think it's even close to "Badlands" as others have stated. I think the movie is a drug fueld want-a-be preacher gets some powers from above. The GF thinks he's a nut case while she begs him for cash to buy some new shoes. The preacher is f'ed up from being beat up by his sob dad. The preacher wants to do good, but can never catch a break. The drugs consume him.
arfdawg-1 This film is just terrible. It gets a 7+ rating because it has fake reviews. IMBD is really losing credibility lately allowing this to happen with so many movies.The movie looks like it was filmed on a SD card and made for three centsThere is no real direction. It's amateurish. As is the writing and the acting.It's filled with untalented clowns who cant act out of a paper bag.The only good thing I can say is that it wasn't two hours long.
