Cold Cross

I can't say enough about this film. I'm not a big cowboy fan but this movie made me change my mind. It had all the suspense of a scary movie and violence of a action movie. Kept me wanting to know more of what is coming next. Lots of twists and turns that kept me interested and intrigued throughout. I would watch again in a heart beat. The main characters William and Finnic learn some big life lessons on what revenge can really do to someone's life. There was some comedic relief with the Marshall and his sidekick. Which lightened the mood a bit at just the right time. The completely original music written by Jake Stieneker (William) and music played with his brothers made the movie flow smoothly. Nothing like a good movie soundtrack to set the mood. Just all around great film by Query Productions. Dylan Query is the next Stephen Spielberg. I can see him doing more great movies to come. Very talented group of actors and crew. If it wasn't for every person doing their part it wouldn't be the phenomenal movie we see before us. It goes to show what team work and talent can produce wonderful art when meshed together.

This IS the film to watch! I highly suggest you check out this movie.

It's got everything...action, suspense, love, & tragedy.

The story line was great! You felt like you quickly knew the characters and became close with them. Each having there own righteousness and emotional reasons for the actions they took. Leaving you wondering what the end would behold.

The audio was on point, especially when I discovered that some of the sound effects for the movie were actually made by the director, main actor, and audio crew. Purchasing musical instruments similar to that which would be in that era, so it would not only sound authentic for that time period but bring a genuine western flare to the movie.

Not to mention, every musical piece you hear was written and recorded by the main actor, his brothers, and in some cases even the director, specifically for this film.

For this to be the first feature length film this young director/editor produced, I absolutely can not wait to see what is next! The hard work, and dedicated time put in to this film shows. This young man has basically produced a Hollywood film on a shoestring budget. Watch out Stephen Spielberg, Dylan Query is on his way!

First of all I'm a fan of Westerns such as The Outlaw Josey Wales, Unforgiven, Tombstone and the like. This movie is right up there with them and is a very dark tale on the cycle of revenge. It was well written and the cinematography, music, and acting is just as good as anything coming out of Hollywood. Considering the budget Query Productions had to work with makes this accomplishment even more astonishing. This proves there is talent outside of Hollywood even without the multi million dollar budget.

This movie is worth a watch to see what can be done on a shoestring budget. It is just as good or better as some of the stuff I've seen on several streaming platforms. This is just the beginning for Query Productions and everyone involved in the film and I can't wait to see what comes next. Congratulations on a fantastic film!

Let me start out by saying that I'm not the world's biggest western fan; generally, they all really blend together for me and aren't very remarkable.

But this film, which was produced in Indiana on a shoestring budget, has a special blend of intrigue, action and biblicism that it really set itself apart.

Let's address something, before going further: as I noted, this isn't a Hollywood production-it was made by someone from the Indianapolis area as a follow-up to an award-winning short film. But you wouldn't know it; the production quality is extraordinary. Even more incredible, it's also director Dylan Query's first feature-length film. So, too, is it lead actor and writer Jacob Stieneker's. For neither of them, though, would you know it.

(I should also note here that while I do not know Query, I do know his fiancé. But I put my love for movies above most all else-ask my wife-so that's playing no role in this review.)

This film is at its heart about revenge, and the pains people take to get it, even if it might ultimately leave them hollow.

It is one of the most beautifully shot movies I've seen this year, and it is fantastically written. The actors-many of whom, like Stieneker, are making their feature-length debut-fit their roles well and really rose to the occasion.

While there were a few editing choices that I might have made differently, and some of the pacing felt uneven (particularly in the film's first half), it was a strong production-one that carried suspense and titillation throughout. It's certainly a movie worthy of the big screen treatment it's getting over the next few week's, just as much as some of the bigger studios' films I've seen lately.

This movie isn't playing widely right now, though the production crews are working to change that. I hope they do, because it's certainly worth giving it a shot.

SCORE: 8.5/10 (From someone who is not a big western fan, I advise that if you have a chance to see it, you should.)

I love watching movies, it's a weekend must at my house. There are not many movies I will watch again, I have to LOVE, like REALLY LOVE, a movie for me to watch it again. This movie has made it onto my list of favorites and we will happily be watching this movie OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!

I had no idea what this movie was about walking into it. I almost didn't go, and how sad that would have been! I loved everything about this movie. This film has everything in it, and is very fast paced. We loved the action, drama, and emotions. You do not want to take a restroom break during this movie, you will miss something good!!

I'm not sure there is anything I can really say in 600 characters to convince you that you need to watch this movie, you just need to do yourself a favor and watch it! You will not be disappointed!!
