Such a frustrating disappointment
... View MoreIn truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
... View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
... View MoreMostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
... View MoreWhere do I start? First, the beginning act has the most in your face character exposition I think I have ever seen in any film. 2 minutes to show his war experience. 2 minutes to show his trouble returning to civilian life. 2 minutes to show his anger issues. 2 minutes to set up the so-called plot. Horribly edited and choppy. Moving into the action it is all so predictable. And why does this come off as something from the 70s? Cheesy dialogue, even cheesier background music, clichéd cinematography, lame acting. I think it's in the 3rd act now and I'm gonna bail, I can't take any more of this tripe. (as I write this, the background music just switched to a twang twang twang twang plucking of oriental music, LMAO!)
... View MoreDelivered is a film worth watching. The cast of seasoned actors shines with remarkable performances. The storyline is filled with responsible topics such as war, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, love, revenge, injustice, and economic difficulties including foreclosure. Many people can relate to the various occurrences in the film. It is action-packed, gritty, intense, and entertaining all while sending a powerful message to viewers. The storyline is anything but predictable. It will leave you thinking about what you might do if faced with similar circumstances. The locations throughout the film are amazing. This film is a great model for independent filmmaking. Kudos to Linda Nelson and Michael Madison!
... View Morehaving worked with the producers before I've found them to be highly creative and dedicated to the film making process. give almost anyone a couple of million to make a film and they may do OK. but try to make one with almost no budget. the writing is well done and the shooting is good. story lines are developed. i especially liked the house burglar scene. with that actor Frankie Ray. i believe i have seen him before in a variety of projects. man that baseball bat to his mid section was filmed,acted and shot very well. over all i like the film wish i could see more of That house burglar guy though. lol
... View MoreThis is a true independent film. The cast is well chosen and very good. All the actors gave 100%. The story line leads you down the road very well with a surprise ending. Well shot with the RED camera. I was very surprised how good the stills and video from the RED camera looked. The editing was done on a PC system with Nvidia and Adobe CS5. The future of independent films is there. Affordable NLE editing that provides a very high quality product.The film crew did a fantastic job under extreme heat conditions. I am sure the students learned a lot.The trailer is fantastic and the movie lives up to it. Good job! I can't wait to see the next Nelson-Madison Films project.
