Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
goldcoastnews-940-425011 Vigilante Article: "Outlandish in Paradise" Outlandish in Paradise Coast style on loan for movie by Renee Redmond film industry reporter.A FLASHY $286,000 sports car and an exclusive jewelry shop were on loan to local film makers this week, giving them an ideal backdrop to shoot their $1.1 million feature film Vigilante.A 30 strong film crew set up in Surfers Parade, Broadbeach, focusing on the lead character Luke (played by Robert Diaz), his diamond shop and his flashy black sports car.The film written and directed by Aash Aaron, will be shot around Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and The Spit over the next three weeks. It is being produced by Aaron's Gold Coast production company Outlandish Films. Diaz said funding for the revenge-style film has been raised through private investors who wanted to put their money into a rewarding project. "We'll be talking to distributors in Australia and LA next week and we are confident it will make the big screen," he said.The film should be ready for release between April and May next year. "We're pioneers for the new Australian film industry, making movies that are marketable and profitable," said Diaz. "A lot of film makers make movies they want to see but we're making what the audience wants." Diaz said they were already talking about making a sequel to Vigilante and encouraged people to get behind the local film industry. "The Gold Coast has welcomed us with open arms and we want to bring more international films to the coast because there's no better place to make movies", he said. Diaz said Gold Coast businesses had been extremely generous, providing them with locations as well as flash cars, jewels and costumes. "James Frizelle's Audi Centre Gold Coast lent us their $286,000 Audi R8, which is my car in the movie," said Diaz.Frizelle's sales manager Nathan Grumbleton said the new car was one of about 20 of its kind in the country, but the company was happy to lend it for the movie. Broadbeach's Amore Exquisite Jewellery shop In Surf Parade also obliged, allowing cameras to take over their shop yesterday and actresses to wear their jewels.Owners Rodney and Anne Lobb said they were excited to be part of the project. "It will be great for the Gold Coast so were happy to get involved," Mr Lobb.
raginfish There are a group of us here now on the Gold Coast in Queensland. And in Brisbane who have decided to get behind and support as many of our local filmmakers as we can. For too long other in this country see the strange need to pull down anyone even attempting to have a go at making feature films in this country. But it is especially difficult for us up here in Queensland as we are often ignored as a real player in the Australian film industry. Which is strange really as Queensland seems to pump out far more low budget independent films than any other state? So come on guys, do as we are doing and vote, support and comment "positively" on as many Aussie films (especially Queensland ones) as possible. And firstly our group is supporting Aash Aaron for his films ICU & VIGILANTE as Aash has been a true inspiration in this state and especially the Gold Coast as a filmmaker who just does it no matter what anyone may say.
longjeff593 Aash Aaron has created an amazing couple of films.ICU & Vigilante.I can't wait to see what is next? We support you her on the Gold Coast Bro and love your films.You write, producer, direct, cast, edit and whatever else? Man what don't you do? Rock on man your films are awesome! I don't know why anyone would want to rip you off? You do what hardly any other filmmakers in Australia do.Which is produce one film after another.Very cool.
M. Douglas Me and a pal came across this movie while looking for some old style action flicks. And while it does provide some good action and fights, ultimately it's let down by the lead actors wooden performance.It's your standed revenge type flick that sees the hero's life "Luke" destroyed by 3 wannabe tough guys in a senseless violent act. This sets him on a path of self destruction and redemption that has been done before and a lot better too.The lead actress and actors performance where dull, lifeless and unbelievable. Only once did we ever believe him throughout the flick. We both found it hard to sympathize or care about the guy and could care less about his journey. I suspect this has to do with not only his acting but the direction and editing too.Where this flick really shines is in the supporting cast. The 3 tough wannabe crims were all fabulously brought to life and every time they came back on screen the atmosphere picked up.It was these guys that we both found interesting and wanted to watch. Funny, angry and a tad crazy the bad guy "Alex" was a stand out. We both related to him as he had issues with his father that i think most could follow. Though i really felt sorry for his 2 pals that had to follow him around.Over all the movie was a tad disjointed but watchable only for the bad guys and their hilarious attitudes. An average movie made better by these three stooges.MD
