Review Time

Warning: there is shooting/sexual assault/vehicle crash/medical/references to racism

In the middle of the 1950s this trio of convicts escape: briefly; Monroe [Henry Rollins:] he is the aggressive leader of this trio, Darcy [Johnny Galecki:] he has short-man-syndrome and finally we have Sam [Billy Zane:] he is vastly mild-mannered, but will get physical if he has to, but doesn't want to hurt anyone occupying this location; which swiftly brings me onto this location owner Vonnie Carpenter [Kelly McGillis:] she lives off the land as a farmer, she doesn't suffer fools likely, so having three convicts in her home doesn't bother her much in fact she destroys get on with the daily chores even though she has just escaped to do them

Generally speaking: the storyline/script, the framework and pacing for a lot of this film is very good; it basically uses the outlay of a location-based which means what ever happened for or after that is none of our concern; yes we get told bits of exposition character developments. But the storyline/script and the framework and pacing of this 91 minutes film has one really dramatic problem which I will discuss later, but for now all I can say is; I would have given this project is slightly higher mark if it wasn't for this section of this movie.

Art and action; a heavy amount of this movie takes place in this rural farm location/area which is a pleasant backdrop to this film and for we have running, hijacking, at shooting and other little bits and pieces [I should point out... it isn't that kind of film anyway, but at the same time I needed to put something here as a sign of acknowledgement.]

Character developments and performances; the character developments follow a character type template; such as the ones I have already shown, but we also have a blind African-American delivery driver on a horse and cart [Roscoe Lee Browne as Peabo:] even though he is blind he is not frightened at any stage or/and knows what is going on around him, which brings him amends joy very near to the end of the film. The performances of this cast are for the vast majority of the time are to be very reliably goods standard, but there is a section somewhere between roughly the final quarter and the ending section where, because there are mostly just two characters/performers on screen, where previously there has been many, it just feels like the scenes feel incredibly empty, a flat pancake and the pacing of this movie very much hit the wall and doesn't recover back to where it was, yes it does get better but like I said nowhere near to where it once was. This

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good, this is a pleasant little film but when you hit the section with a limited amount of characters/performers on screen for a while, things do slow down and don't really recover after that, there was an extra sequence happening underneath the first lot of ending credits
