    A Director Who's Going Places - See this Film

    Peter Pardini is, hands down, one of the best new directors to emerge in quite a while. Still a young man, Pardini is beyond his years. Unlike most of his peers, this guy obviously knows cinema and delivers his original stories with sophistication. I was initially knocked out by his Netflix documentary about the legendary rock group Chicago and am continuously engaged by his work. Rolling Thunder is just one "joint" in a growing filmography. Rolling Thunder is wildly entertaining with moments of bold, laugh-out-loud absurdity. Academy Award winner Wes Studi delivers a must-see soliloquy for the ages.. I can't say enough good things about this director.

    A comedic and entertaining film by Peter Pardini, a rising director.

    The well scripted dialogue, engaging acting, and music scenes with Chicago the band make this a must see. A rough day for aspiring director Benny Blake makes for an entertaining film for the audience. I particularly enjoyed the comedic one-liners and the never-ending struggle for Blake to get everyone onboard with his vision. This piece is yet another validation of Peter Pardini's place in the film industry!

    Neither Funny or Entertaining

    What a waist of energy. It's not worth the price of renting or even viewing it for free.
