Drifter

Have you ever seen a kids school project where they try so hard to do something awesome but the end result is just something sad and a mere shadow of what could have been something good?

Well this is like that.

The videography is beautiful. The movie itself could have been something good. But they just tried to damn hard to be like other directors (see Tarantino) and instead the entire culmination of all of their hard work went to pieces.

At least the scenery was nice.

This is the biggest pile of garbage I have ever had the misfortune of watching. Absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Anyone who enjoys this sorry excuse of film making has a serious mental problem. Do yourself a favor and avoid this like the plague. Have I made my point? It was utterly horrendous.

The movie was so slow, I took to fast forwarding it to get to a scene where something interesting actually happened, and before I knew it, I'd fast-forwarded through the entire thing. It's not scary, it's not gory, you can barely understand much of the dialog, the music adds nothing but more annoyance, and it makes little to no sense. I get that it takes a lot of work to make a movie, even a bad one, but I wonder if anyone involved even watched this after it was done. If they had, they would hopefully have realized they needed to start over.

I had to go online to figure out this was supposed to be a "post-apocalyptic" story. The information on Netflix and online says that these 2 brothers are supposed to be avenging their father's death, but there is no dialogue about it, no flashbacks to actually let the viewer know that. It was just them shooting some guy, and then them driving! It was boring. Almost NOTHING happens the first hour, then when they encounter the actual cannibals, it was a huge letdown. The director should be ashamed.

Listen, I get the bad reviews I really do but this delivered gore, action, and some very strange, original characters. The camera angles and score also kept my interest and built up intrigue but I must complain about the second half of the film, it really falls flat and nothing much happens. Would I run out and buy the DVD, no but like I said the movie was "fun" and the actors really were dedicated to their roles, especially the murderous townies.
