TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

after seeing great reviews about this film, i've decided to watch it, and boy what a loss of time it was... The main story is unclear, full of irrelevant details and boring situations, all in goal to fill a movie with feeling that something is going around. It keeps you waiting for things to unravel, till the end of movie. But guess what? End doesn't unravel anything and you are left with feeling of pointless waste of time. Worst of all, the two irritating characters are just begging to receive punishment for their evil and stupidity so much that I desired to be in the movie just to end their pointless egzistence. But in the end where you might get a satisfaction of watching that irritating characters you get end titles... I felt like cheated wife, full of anger for them and despise for director lame lame movie... director shame on you! u people that gave a 10 stars to this lame movie, shame on you - you are tasteless! shame on you!

In desperate need of a plot line to do them justice.Art is worth nothing when you leave your customers feeling short-changed.I thought the 3 older leads where well chosen and had the laid-back cool that in the hands of a better director could have made a cult movie. As it was there were too many scenes that made little or no sense and felt forced upon the viewer in order to get to the climax.I can't help but feel that somewhere on the cutting room floor lies an excellent film that would leave the audience talking about it around the water-cooler, unfortunately one that is destined never to see the light of day.

If i could describe the film in short it would be: A bad scripted and poorly executed film, from an unimaginative Tarentino fan, who made choices in the film based on what 'looked cool' leaving behind a confusing and unbelievable affair that lacked any substance.This is the long winded way in which i describe the film.A large part of the films script was terrible, truly terrible followed by some even worse directing. Some Technical aspects of the film like the intro were far too long.. and the scenes in which they played harmonious music followed by time lapse recording of clouds seemed very out of place.The driving intro almost made me want to switch off the film from the start. Determined to give it a chance, the next part cut to the bank robbery scene (Tarentino end at the beginning style) it gave some lick of promise, so i continued watching.The biggest problem i had with the film was the actions of the characters themselves the relationship of the young guys was unbelievable, seemed like very forced company. Secondly their behaviour itself wasn't believable. Not a single person in this film would of agreed to rob the bank with the reasons given if you look at the type of person they are, and situation they are in. The whole 'intricate' revenge scheme which really wasn't sophisticated at all seemed unnecessary.. according to the script the main character gave money to his wife from the original robbery and didn't appear to need the money that bad at all, especially looking at their home.The idea of the film itself isn't bad but 99% of the film probably would need to be changed to make it work. The ending itself was poorly executed - create your own ending type of film but didn't give enough ending for people to come up with anything credible or to even care to think it up.I am all for independent films but this is a poorly executed and badly scripted film from someone who probably got straight c's in film school because he 'enjoyed' making films and loved Tarentino.. but never really got the concept of what makes a movie great.

Note: Only minor spoilers, there shouldn't be any plot revealing, but just a taste of what you might expect.I felt this was an okay film for an independent production. First of all I'm going to repeat what most people said, the older generation characters were very solid and probably makes the most of the 5 point score I'm rating this movie. The younger generation however, you need to understand that most or all of them are not really top actors at all. The one standout performance for me was Connor, played by Christopher Clark with spunk. I can imagine many people would find him annoying, but I thought his character was colorful and added much needed spice to what would be a fairly slow paced movie. He reminded me a lot of Zell from Final Fantasy 8, hot headed, immature, and I loved watching him spurt out crazy things to people and I found myself anticipating his actions.Another standout performance is from Mackey, played by Robert Loggia. It was obvious that his character was way over the top, and this is also where I was disappointed. At first I thought that he was blatantly racist in order to observe and analyse other people's reactions, and to see their true character. Unfortunately I had overestimated the intentions of the director and scriptwriter, and he was just a fool of an old man. Still, his character was interesting, and I found myself anticipating the messes he might get into.About the movie itself though, as mentioned by other people before, there seems to be many plot holes and ideas/twists that are very poorly executed. The movie tries to be deep, but just ends up being confusing and unnecessary. There is a lot of college level swearing and insults, that are quite amusing in short spasms. But all in all if you find yourself really bored and there's nothing to do on a Sunday afternoon, you could consider renting this one, but only if you have an open mind and don't expect to be wow'ed, or left thinking about the plot. You'd probably forget about it in a couple of hours.
