Surprisingly incoherent and boring
... View MoreIt is a performances centric movie
... View MoreIt is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
... View MoreAn old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
... View MoreA bank robbery quickly becomes fatally chaotic as one of the hostages is a serial killer. Trapping the bank robbers in the building, the killer starts to pick them off one by one....That unwritten rule of replacing an actor with Nicolas Cage is so relevant for a film like this. And although Rollins is really good, it's a case of great concept, shame about the film.So we have Rollins as this serial killer who collects his victims eyes, because god told him to, and he's been keeping them in a safety deposit box in a bank that is closing.And before his eyes, the place gets held up by a bunch of amateurs who have inside information that there is a large quantity of bonds in the vault.No sooner than the police get on the scene, we are treated to a plethora of bad CG gunfire and blood, and this is where the film fails on most levels.If it focused more on the concept, rather than the banter between criminal and the law, and not throwing in a gangster-esque subplot, it could have been a decent enough B-movie horror.But the film makers think that we need to hear the rag tag group argue with each other throughout the film, because Reservoir Dogs is brilliant isn't it?Yes, it's a groundbreaking piece of work that has been copied more times than a child copying a dog, and each new 'homage' just becomes more and more mundane.Rollins never really gets going until well into the third act, and by then, because of all the worthless wordplay between everyone else, you kind of make him the protagonist.No disrespect to Rollins, but if Cage was in his role, it would have been a different film, and would have given him the chance to turn up to 11.all in all, it's a pretty wasted opportunity for such a good concept...
... View MoreThis movie is far from the worst film I've ever seen. A lot of the other reviews are being a bit harsh in their assessments. If you have better things to do, then you should probably do those things. But If you have some time to kill there are worse ways to spend it. While I enjoyed it overall, I do wish that someone else would've made it. It's an interesting concept, and Rollins fit the bill, but most of the actors were pretty bad and the overall production was lacking. Keep the concept, keep Rollins and let a major studio produce it and I'd probably leave a 7 or 8 instead of a 5 star review.
... View MoreThis is an Ultra-Low-Budget Horror-Heist Hybrid from the Director of "Big Ass Spider" (2013), a Big-Bug-Comedy Hybrid. It's not as Good but manages to be Watchable if Wantable for more of, well, something.The Heist Angle is Lethargic, Slowly Paced, and Amateurish. The Horror-Serial Killer on the Loose Twist is Better but is slightly Underused. The Gore-Fest that is Unleashed behind the Cops and Robbers Plot gives it the Feel of the Different.It goes for the Juggler at times and Henry Rollins as "Windows" shows No Restraint in His Restrained "Polite" Insanely Religious Character and it makes for some Disturbing Quirks in a Movie that needs more of that in the Heist Scenes.Out in Front the Band of Robbers are a Dull Bunch as are the "Cops" who Show Up to Foil what is a Boring Story of Military Brothers, Drug Money, and assorted "Vigilante" Types. These Back Lot Movie Makers almost make it all Work, but not Quite.Worth a Watch for B-Movie Lovers, the DTV Curious, and Gore-Hounds. Others are Taking a Chance and will Require a High Tolerance that these Types Demand.
... View MoreThis Movie would pass as a semi-okay student Project. Feels like that there was no money for a good script, good actors, better cameras, good special effects, and no money at all for post production.But this isn't a student film, this is not even Mike Mendez's first film. And i don't see why Netflix payed money for this, waste of time, predictable bad movie! I feel sorry for Henry Rollins, and what has happened to him.writing 10 lines here feels like more work, than Guy Stevenson put into the Script.The Best thing about this Movie is the Poster!
