Don't listen to the negative reviews
... View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
... View MoreIf you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
... View MoreOne of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
... View MoreI didn't pay to watch this movie but i felt like they owed me money after watching this. i want 2 hours of my life back.and FYI guys, this movie is not a Filipino movie. it was shot in the Philippines which is why the scenery is not a disappointment, but the director, writer and producer is a crappy German.can you believe that this movie was shot for more than 2 years? complete waste of time, money and energy!worst movie everbad actingawful story
... View MoreThis movie was very entertaining, an awesome lighthearted action flick.And can I just mention how amazingly hot the two main characters were!? Very easy on the eyes ;) I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys the high-speed car chase and gun fights.The director did a superb job uniting action with subtle humor.The entire audience was chuckling and gasping through the whole movie!We all had a great time. Loved it.Go watch it now!
... View MoreI saw Deep Gold a few days ago. Honestly, I did not expect anything good because I always highly doubted Philippines could ever compete with other Asian film industries (Japan, China). It did not disappoint in that respect, it was an absolutely horrible movie, a total waste of my time and money.The plot is reminiscent of other great work (sarcastic) by Fred Bailey who still somehow manages to sell his scripts and have movies made out of them. If you check most of his scripts here, the ratings are all around 3, the ratings do not lie. However, the ratings will lie here for a while because the only people that rated it 8, 9 or 10 are either workers of Bigfoot company or some really close friends of the owner.The story is just atrocious and SO ordinary that it will never stand out. The acting is terrible, that's what you get from using models as actors. You must have a huge ego to be both director and actor, unfortunately it rarely works, only Tarantino manages to break the barrier. The action scenes had NO tension whatsoever, the danger happens always AFTER the hero is safe and sound, especially during the library scene. The story is predictable and offers no twists whatsoever so I don't know how anyone can say it's the best 3d movie of 2011 (of course it's an employee review).After reading more about Bigfoot online, I found out that it is ruled by the owner who disregards ALL other people's opinions though having no film training whatsoever. And all other Bigfoot films are B-movies at best, but most lower than that.Stay away from this horrific movie and spend your money more wisely. Watching golf is more exciting than watching this.
... View MoreMy wife and I saw Deep Gold over the weekend at the Crest Theater in LA. Being an independent film, you never know what to expect. We were particularly intrigued to learn that it was both an action film as well as a 3D film. (Perhaps the first independent 3D feature film ever made.) Both action and 3D are very ambitious attributes for they typically exceed the independent film budget. The script had some unexpected twists and turns that kept the story going. To be fair, it also had some minor flaws, but overall who cares when the screen is filled with attractive women and stunning views. Personally I think I would have enjoyed the movie more if it were not in 3D, but that is personal preference. Some of the actors were better then others, but overall way better then the average independent film. Michael Gleissner, who also wrote and directed the film, made a surprisingly good villain. The soundtrack was exceptional, plenty of action scenes, solid plot, and beautiful footage. Deep Gold easily exceeded our expectations, and unlike almost every major studio feature films today, Deep Gold never dragged and we were never bored. In summary, Deep Gold is a perfect film for a mindless weekend escape.
