Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Charming and brutal

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

"Casey Jones" is an American 35-minute live action short film from 2011, so this one is already over 5 years old and it is among the most known career efforts by writer and director Polaris Banks. His brother Hilarion plays the title character, a young man whose bloody encounter with a group of sprayer punks turns him (after recovery) into a vigilante fighting crimes on the streets at night. So there is almost a bit of a Batman reference here. But actually, the short plays in the universe of other really famous animal-related characters and it was a bit surprising to realize that way after halfway into the movie. But it was all done good. the visual side is convincing and all the characters, especially the non-humans ones look pretty good. And story-wise, it was also a fairly good watch. the film breathes new life into old successful formulas. I liked it and there is certainly some cult potential to this one. It's the level you want to achieve when you make a fan film really. And you don't even need famous big name actors if your creative approach is a success in most other fields like this one here. I thought it was an entertaining little film, even with over half a million clicks on Youtube still very much underseen and also underappreciated I guess. There were moments when i was actually close to giving this one a 4 out of 5 really. It is inspired, creative and fun to watch dellivering on both the comedic and dramatic front. Make this one a little more known and go see it. i give it a thumbs-up without hesitation. Very much worth watching. Shame they never followed up on it really with the ending looking in a way as if there was more to come. But who knows maybe there will be more. For a man in his mid-20s, this is certainly an achievement that even many film greats only could have dreamt of when they were that age. Makes me curious about what Banks (also a voice actor in here by the way) has in story for us the coming years. until then, watch this one here. You won't regret it unless you really dislike the genre.

The moment I heard there was a Casey Jones fan film, I rushed to find it. The website itself is an eye-catcher, designed to totally give a gritty feel. And the film, what can I say. I was in awe at every moment. I feel like the makers took the characters from the comics and movies I grew up loving and brought them to life in the best way possible! Once Jones is an established character, you almost feel bad for the villains he's going to run into. The actors brought such personality to the characters, and totally embody everything you know and love about them. I could spend hours filling this up with flattering comments. I'll just say that if you're a fan of the characters, and feel like you've been let down by some of the other adaptations, then this is the one for you. It makes a fanboy feel proud that work like this can exist. They got a fan out of me, and will out of you too when you watch it. I'll even say this is one of the best fan films I've ever seen. Simply incredible. And very kick ass! I very much hope to see more from these guys in the future!
