Crooked Billet (3D)

This movie is truly awful on so many levels. The acting is wooden and lifeless, and the plot is unconvincing and messy. The characters have no depth and seem to act at random. The whole thing is very amateurish, and makes no sense.

Martin Goodwin looks up.a dark secret his father leaves behind as a mystery unravels about the staff of Moses. You see, back in the Roman days of occupation in England it was told that all the territories would be pagan except one. This area was delegated to Christians as the new and exciting religion was taking hold in England and then Italy of course. They were also relegated the original staff of Moses to guard, but it was nowhere to be found! This movie starts off with an English bang, but begins to edge into mundane as the background music was a bit loud for my tastes. Yeah, you heard me right, (the one who plays impossibly loud rock 🎸 90% of the day). However, a certain audio balance is necessary for good drama. I liked the movie and recommend it for the Yankee chaps, like me from Florida. I give it a good 8. Truly inspiring, and loved the scenery.Pax, Murf

The real mystery here has nothing to do with the plot; it's why on earth Netflix decided to sign up this film. Don't get me wrong, I am a great fan of micro-budget films (apparently this one cost just £5,000 to make). It gives film-makers a genuine opportunity to retain artistic control of their work and it allows unknown cast and crew members to work on a major project from start to finish. But this one under-delivers in every single department - from the script to the cinematography to the acting. If I had attended a private screening with friends and family I might well have joined in with the hand-shakes and slaps on the back; it's not easy to make a film without decent funding or external support; just deciding to have a crack at it warrants applause. But as soon as a film like this gets into the public domain it has to be judged alongside other films. I've paid my Netflix subscription so I have every right to expect the films on this platform to justify that expenditure and be decent. This one is not. Sorry guys, it's a shocker, and Netflix should take it down.

Terrible. There's a decent plot and story line but the actors are not actors, too much dramatic music, and the end is just absurd. I have an awful feeling there might be a sequel. When the credits roll and all the main cast have the same first names in real life, well you know how good they are at remembering lines. Don't waste 80 minutes of your life.

There isn't one good actor in this film. None of these people are actors. They cannot act. The filming is at times atrocious. Bizarre angles and poor editing. It's clearly been done on a minuscule budget. However this all adds us to make it quite endearing. I get the feeling that there's been a lot of effort put into the story which has all just been squandered on awful casting. It's a good story! If you can fight through you'll hopefully be entertained. Again, the acting is awful. Terrible.
