Entertaining

I stumbled on this movie over the weekend and checked it out. I noticed it was shot for $25,000 and I really like low budget films. Primer was an awesome film so was Travelling Salesman. So I figured I'd give this one a shot. The first thing I noticed is how well this was shot. It is done in very good quality. They put a lot of work and effort into the scenes. On a limited budget the way it was shot you have a hard time telling they are using the same locations over and over. They mask it really well. The acting is very good, for the most part. There are a few duds but they are set back by stronger characters. The main did a really good job so did his friend. The writing is done well with some witty commentary, and the story lays it self out well. It holds some very good suspense and you are left wondering what is going on up until the end. While the dialog isn't as strong as traveling salesman, I think the way in which it is shot, with the camera angles it builds some nice tension. Although some of the scenes seem pointless and there are some plot holes. For that reason I give it a 7/10. Great film for something neat to watch that isn't all Hollywood. The voice overs in a fight club manner make it interesting and surely quotable. It won't win story of the year, but it's a fun flick to watch.
