Reservoir Dogs Re-Written, And Not Bad

At its core, the story is very similar to Reservoir Dogs, a bank heist goes horribly wrong, a crew man is shot, the bank robbers then seek answers while violently bickering among each other. But there are some key differences. In this film, its another bank robbery crew that violently interrupts the main characters robbery, the characters are also all brothers, plus the film is set in more modern times. But how does it compare to Reservoir Dogs. Well obviously its not nearly as good, but the film is also not bad by any means. With solid acting, writing good enough to keep you interested, an a fantastic musical score.

So what was good and what was bad. Well first off some of the acting was good. A few of the actors did a serviceable job portraying their characters, while a few others don't appear to be acting, just being themselves on camera. The musical score was also top notch, I felt like it really complimented the film well. And finally, the writing is moderately good enough to keep me interested in how the story would end. The cinematography was nothing special, very average shooting with little to no artistic direction.

So would I recommend this film? I don't really know, i suppose if you like Reservoir Dogs, you might like it, but then again you might not, its up to you.
