Very disappointing...
Excellent but underrated film
Don't listen to the negative reviews
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
Not that bad, the movie is OK to watch. At lease u will have entertainment .
I had the opportunity to attend the premiere for this movie in Dallas last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was very reminiscent of BONNIE & CLYDE but with a twist. Leads Jesse James and Mariana Paola Vicente played well off each other and the film employed a plethora of well-known character actors, such as Burton Gilliam, Dennis O'Neill, and Larry Jack Dotson. Overall, it was a really good movie and I look forward to seeing what director Norman Gregory McGuire delivers next.
My comment comes a little bit late, but I've seen this movie two days ago for the first time. It's a pretty good road movie type thriller. If it would have had some more action, it could have rated between 8 and 9, but I'll give it a 7. Jesse James (the actor) is all grown up now.
First time writing a review (I think). The movie is not even worth mentioning... only writing because I'm a bit mad for not stopping this movie after the first 10-15 minutes. I guess I got misled by few critic (not user) reviews. One of the reviewers is right: this is a high-school project at best.
