Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
NathanA Almost all of the reviews I have read for this movie have been bad. Why? I dont know. This is truly one of the best films I have ever seen. So what if it was low budget, the acting was good, story was great and it was original. I think this movie deserves more credit than what it gets. People should try to get past all of that hollywood hype and try to see the movies for what they are. If they can do that then they could start to appreciate good movies like Tail Lights Fade. I think it was and awsome movie, Malcolm Ingram did a good job directing it and Matt Gissing and Malcolm Ingram did a good job with the story. I mean they were even able to get a good cast that should at least tell you they thought the flick was good. Why? Because it is. So I think everyone should go out and rent this movie watch and see it for what it truly is. A great, great movie.
mcgillj77 I had been curious to see the "OTHER" films released under the View Askew banner.. this film while not under that banner was still directed by a friend of the View Askew crew, and.. included one little cameo (uncredited).I will DISAGREE with the other poster.. I thought EVERYONE was exceptionally strong in their roles, aside from "Angie" and "Eve", c'mon face it .. "Showgirls" was a T&A movie, Berkley while cute can't act. The movie deals with Angie (sadly) who's brother gets busted for possession. So his sister decides to burn his stash, her boyfriend (Meyer) invites himself who in turn invites the other 2 yokels (Busey, Richards) and they turn it into a road rally as they are all racing nuts. There is some good dialogue, and Meyer gives his all in a rather thankless part.. as much as Richard (she's funny as hell as the white trash girlfriend) and Busey.. well he can't be his son, clone maybe.. All in all, its a funny movie.. and it has a rather downer kind of ending.. But, it is still very much worth the rental. Better than some other films out there, alot better than many. It won't knock your socks off, and.. you probably won't really remember much of it next week.. But it is a decent 90 minutes of viewing.. ONE note, the DVD BLOWS! There are, sadly, ZERO extra features and not even a trailer for the film.. But still, a decent enough movie at least worthy of one watch.
Robert Clarke This film is pointless. A character driven road movie with the four leads traveling in classic cars across the country to locate, and hide one of the characters brothers Marijuana grow house, before the cops do. You wait for an eternity for it to get going but it just bumbles along until you are just waiting for it to finish so you can go and wash your hair or something. On top of the four poor leads, including Denise Richards (The World is not enough) and her `Starship Troopers' co star Jake Busey (Son of Gary), the production oozes cheap, right down to the quality of the picture on your screen. All in all a complete nothing of a film.
Marcos Devilboy This is not a great film but it clips along and is pretty entertaining. It was made here in Vancouver, probably cheaply, and it has some nice scenery and good acting. Jake Bussey is lively and Denise Richards is great to look at and the supporting actors, including Jaimz Woolvet from 'Unforgiven' are good and often quite funny. It has a plot and some hip references and I would certainly recommend this film, in particular to anyone who likes road movies.
