Reviews
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
WACKY-PROPHET Dumb, meaningless movie should appeal to Southern Rednecks, teenagers with IQ's bordering on retarded and the average Bush supporter. Noble Willingham plays the lead in this simpleminded script for what it is and uses a generous dose of MFers, eff this and eff that and SOBs. The ending which I anticipated to "Save" this hollow story was the biggest letdown, leaving me hanging and wondering, "Why"?It's a story of cat & mouse or more like Bully vs. victim.Don't waste your time unless you like hearing the phone ringing every 2 minutes and constant cursing and screaming throughout this 123 minute piece of dumpster droppings.
noveltylibrary Triple K Marine! This little known movie (and I mean little known, there are no reviews at Rotten Tomatoes) has been my favorite ensure film ever since it came out. I was lucky to find it on a Blockbuster shelf. I am not even sure it ever came out in the theaters. I've passed this film onto family members since no one I know has ever heard of it either. I can't even find anyone to talk about it on the Net! Put simply, there is nothing else like it. The scenes are quite simple, a man's voice (we never get to see his face, and I love that) is calling Noble Willingham's character over and over on the phone and calling him "Daddy". Why? In my opinion who cares, I just love seeing how Noble's character breaks down with each call! And the interplay between the two men is even funny at times. We do find out why this man (voice) has come to town with one mission only. The soundtrack alone is terrific, and I wish it were on a CD. The acting is...well it doesn't even seem like acting! Trust me if you like offbeat films, see it!
dennemann This movie was horrid and at the end made me wonder why someone went to the trouble to make it. Now it was not all bad, I have studied film and this film was put together very nicely and had very good cinematic everything with interesting angles to very nice lighting and excellent camera work. I wish I could have seen it back in school because it would have made a good film to write a paper on. BUT........ Since I have graduated and lost most of my film pretentiousness I have realized that a film should be entertaining above all, this movie was long and boring and I'm not sure when it finally got to the point that it was worth my time.
vandwedge This movie is bad.This movie is REALLY bad.This movie is might as well be half a minute long and shown 200 times in a row, because you'd get the same effect.The phone rings. Man A answers the phone and gets annoyed by Man B. Man A curses off Man B, and then hangs up the phone. Repeat.This is the entire movie.DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE. TRUST ME.
