Rushlights

Mark Leeper from the ONLINE FILM CRITICS SOCIETY gives Rushlights a 6 out of 10, compares it to "early Cohen Brothers". While I agree with the Cohen Brothers likeness, my vote stands at a strong 8 out of 10. Rushlights is a solid, at times exceptional thriller. Director Antoni Stutz has a unique, talented eye - you can see right away that an artist is at work. In addition the acting is top-notch, however I think the script is a bit over the top. It'll be very interesting to see what project Stutz picks next, considering Rushlights is his first feature. Over the years, one sees a lot of first timers come and go - in this case, I'm certainly taking notice.

Holy cow was this bad. I had no idea this was so high on IMDb.

The acting sucks, the script was horrible and the pacing left much to be desired. It started out so slow that I almost fell asleep at the wheel myself. The Production Design and Cinematography are the stand outs in this film. The whole move looks great and it's nice to see an indie film that was still shot on 35mm instead of Digital. All the sets look really good and I couldn't tell which was a built set and which was a location, which is pretty impressive.

There's quite a few more complications and maybe had the film had better direction it might have been enjoyable. But it moves at such a sluggish pace that every twist of the plot just slows it down.

To be honest, Rushlights was not a good career move for anyone involved.

I was very surprised after watching this movie. I really was not expecting it to be as good as it was, being that it did not make it to the big screens. Even if the critics were to tear it to pieces, much worse films make it to the big screens every week. I can definitely recommended it as a very enjoyable "Guy flick". It's got a good fair share of action for a thriller. It may not be a "Chick flick" but it has a sufficient amount of romance to make a good date movie. Over all the acting was great. The Plot has it's twist and turns to keep you from getting bored from predictability, which is the norm for most thrillers. If I was to find one thing to pick at. Maybe they could have cut the segment and story relating to the whipping scene. Was not very believable as the type of reaction you would expect from the main character. Maybe they wanted to show some extra skin. However it's a sure entertaining movie.

The plot of this film is so ridiculous, it really is camp. The twists and turns are ridiculous. Josh Henderson is damn cute/hot and kept me tuned in. Most of the acting is over the top, and gives this movie a surreal feeling. The lighting is very,'TV movie of the week,'as are the sets. Watch only at 4a.m. when you can't sleep.

Alright, first of all, if you came out to see t*ts and a$$, you should just go jerk off to a p0rn. There are some very obvious male reviews on here saying stuff like, "as a fan of film nudity…" and all I read is, "blah blah blah…where are Hayley Webb's t*ts? #disappointment" Seriously. Grow the f… up! Hayley is out there kicking a$$, making things happen! From a female and feminist perspective, there's nothing more refreshing. Finally a heroine who does more than just cries and waits for a male savior! If you gave Rushlights 1/10 because there wasn't enough lady- flesh, go back your p0rn sites. Rushlights is a very cool, a true modern film noir – to those of you that are serious about film - go see it. BTW: The acting in the movie is exceptional!
