Hmmm, perhaps I should not have been so impatient about everyone "getting" this film I realize now that is very easy to miss some of the subtle things going on in this film that give it it's unique style.

There are many layered things going on in this movies that take some time to notice. While I ...

No, I did not make this movie nor do I know the filmmakers.

I just happen to take the time to learn more about the film than just looking at the pictures real quick or just viewing the clips once and judging it at first glance like those saying "duhhh, it's guys in suits fighting, duhhh"

There is ...

Sure, it's on super8, so that's cool. It's made by "kids" for 40 bucks + film, so it's not so bad.....

Of all the tens of thousands of movies made the last decade, why is this movie worth a second of your time?

No it wasn't made by "kids for $40" And that kind of attitude but you on par with the ...

Yeah!!

I give another shot at downloading the trailer and it finally came thru. It's Excellent!! It really shows more this this filmmakers unique style. Perhaps calgodot should be sure to download and view it as it is very "artistic" (yeah that's a shot at you but honestly it really is somewhat ...

and read what this fine teacher wrote about independent film. Especially the "Path of the Artist" series. If you don't like what he says, fine -

Oh, so you're one of those "I'm an artist" types

*yawn*

I couldn't resist. And yes it's how I feel about filmmakers who get self-rightous and ...

O.K. I see what you mean but from what I can tell you missed something here. This isn't a filmmaker trying to copy any specific film or even the film noir style. He's intentionally poking fun at it. I think you missed the fact that this film is meant to be taken tongue-in-cheek. The black trench ...

You'll have to explain better than that. Did you not like the clips? Do you not care for action films in general?? Did you not like what you read about the plot and storyline? Were you yawning about something else and just wrote it down here? *yawn* by itself is just rude.

The stills were taken with a regular still camera, they are not freeze frames from the film. And It's definietly a super 8 movie, I found it talked about on some other site that lead me to that one. You can even see the camera he uses in one of the behind the scenes stills. I can't tell which type ...

How long ago did you download the clips? I tried again after reading your post and still no luck with the trailer.

I wish this film was available to rent, I'd love to see the whole thing. What did everyone else think? Over 100 views of this thread and only one reply. Did you like what you saw? Hate ...
