The Quick and Dirty (2019) User Reviews

Incoherent Story line

[dxnntbktfz · 5/10 · 24 January 2022]

I think they knew the story they wanted to tell but didn't tell it. The plot was messy and all the place. Almost nothing of this made any sense. On a good note, the acting wasn't terrible and it was a quick watch.

A mixed bag, entertainment-wise

Canada turns out plenty of fine movies, such as A Fire in the Cold Season, but making one supposedly set in the USA's deep south circa 1970s wasn't a great idea. Evidence aplenty for that, starting with a near total absence of southern drawls. As a screenwriter myself (thus far undiscovered, unfortunately), I could almost feel the actors doing their utmost to make the script work. It just wasn't happening, even as a spoof action movie. Beyond that, multiple flashbacks were employed, which made the unfolding story confusing, especially since it involved a lot of high-energy scenes which left little time for a viewer to sort things out.

Judging by Quick and Dirty's lack of polish, short run time, and its enigmatic ending, this movie may have been released sooner than the producers would have preferred, perhaps due to budgetary restraints or deadlines of some sort.

In any case, the actors did their best.

Good

Should be a higher rating than what it has. First movie I have ever reviewed because it deserves it. For a smaller production type movie I thought it was great. Acting was good. Had some good humor. Rated it high because it definitely doesn't deserve a 4!!!
