Could this movie be any worse? NO.


This movie is TERRIBLE. It drags on and drags on sooooo sloooooow and NOTHING happens. It's like a music video without music. It's just a lot of pretty camera shots with nothing going on. It starts off with an Easy Rider vibe then degenerates into a waste of 90 minutes.

they had a good cast, good props, good locations. Just no story. I could've written a better story while sitting at a redlight. How do these things get made??

It's a character-driven piece.
Not every movie has to be a Michael Bay display of explosion porn.

It's a slow, simmering drama. Loved the film. The acting was superb.

Agree acting was overall great. The movie was slow paced but that is why there's different kinds of movies. Had I known this movie was like that I wouldn't have watched as they don't appeal to my tastes but this one wasn't terrible. The only thing I question is why was Lisa bonet in this other than the fact she is married to Jason mamoa? Her character could have easily been eliminated and the movie would have had the same impact. Don't get me wrong I love the eye candy but for actual movie purposes her character was irrelevant. Just my thoughts

reply

I disagree that her character could've been eliminated. Robert Wolf needed that interlude in the midst of saying goodbye to his life.

I really loved this film with its slow burn to impending doom....
Nice to see a film that doesn't have the ever present and over done car chase scene...too me it hit on all the right notes..

reply

I wouldn't say the fault of the movie is in the story. It's actually the technical side that dooms it. Man, from the out-of-focus shots, the terrible audio, and lastly, the inconsistent editing choices, it's really a shame that the inexperience shows.

reply

It was a character driven indie film, if it doesn't satisfy you then I suggest to keep away from the indies

Because a post from someone with the username "pimpcheeze" should be taken seriously.

I agree with the OP this movie sucked.

It's probably supposed to be more of a meditation on the American Indian experience.
