1 Buck (2017)

So much average

A Masterpiece!

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie is terrible except the first scene when the small boat carrying the deadbeat detective to where the corpse dumped. After that, just a dreary, dragged pathetic process without any interesting thing worth your time and brain to hang on tight. It's like the script writer(s) didn't know how to move the story forward, didn't have anything worth saying. So what we got is a detective with broken heart, relied on drugs and drinking to kill his depression. A cop drinking on the job? This is a slow motion movie got nothing to tell but had to use one dollar to expand the nothingness. I have to give up this pathetic movie after wasted 25 minutes, man.

The first thing that surprised me about the film was the number of awards received in the American but also European festivals for this independent movie. The second thing is the story and the movie poster. drama thriller around a $ 1 bill that goes from hand to hand telling the stories of each owner of this ticket.The film is dark and is not within the reach of all. you feel a certain dampness to the vision of this film. The characters are not there to be endearing, just bits of life that bring together deep America.This independent movie has the merit to exist in the middle of the big machineries of the studios accustoming us to calibrated films. I was surprised by the esthetics and the technical mastery. Sometimes independent films are really hard to watch as it sounds amateur, but here it is absolutely not the case. We do not like the rhythm of this kind of film, we can only recognize the honesty of the people who worked on it.I loved the music and the sound design. I noticed that there was no synthesized instrument but real voices and instruments. Which in the end did not surprise me. This film is honest from the beginning. A hard movie sometimes but in any case that has been noted in many festivals. Apparently the first movie of a promising real. Curious to see the second film of this one anyway

Why on earth this has a good score rating I will never no, it was so painful to watch, 90 minutes you will never get back again. There is very little story line, with acting that's I would class as a B movie rating, if you are glutton for punishment then watch it, otherwise give it a wide berth and watch something else, watching paint dry would be more entertaining than this.

It's not really my type of thing as lots of crime and sex occupies the screen. But apart from the 1 buck actually has little to do with the actual story, the form of tracing a 1 buck from beginning to end does feel something new. The ending's got an interesting little twist though. Interestingly as Harry has killed the serial killer, he gets killed by the drug dealer as well, simultaneously when the police came, and they don't seem surprised at all to him being killed. So it's very likely that the police has ordered the drug dealer to kill Harry. Please let me know if I'm wrong. Altogether, it's really not so bad a movie to see but the rate is exaggerated. 7 to 7.5 would be neutral.
