The Mason Brothers

The director who is also the actor in this movie learned film making at a trade school. He self proclaims himself as a visionary director even though he has never made a film before. The movie is bad !! MONEY=WASTED. LESSON= LEARNED 0/5 star

Overall captivtaing from beginning to end. Fantastic cast with solid acting. Many twists through out the film with visceral intensity.

The Mason Brothers is a well written crime thriller, an overall artistic style with intriguing story telling. The acting is dramatic, the cinematography really brings the audience into every scene and the vivid score is superb. Love the intensity of the music throughout. At times the film seems like a stage play with intimate close up scenes and then it breaks out into dramatic confrontations. Well done film, looking forward to the next.

Do not waste your time! This is some of the worst acting, writing, and directing i have seen in awhile. I gave it 2 stars just for the story, which had potential.

At its core, the story is very similar to Reservoir Dogs, a bank heist goes horribly wrong, a crew man is shot, the bank robbers then seek answers while violently bickering among each other. But there are some key differences. In this film, its another bank robbery crew that violently interrupts the main characters robbery, the characters are also all brothers, plus the film is set in more modern times. But how does it compare to Reservoir Dogs. Well obviously its not nearly as good, but the film is also not bad by any means. With solid acting, writing good enough to keep you interested, an a fantastic musical score.

So what was good and what was bad. Well first off some of the acting was good. A few of the actors did a serviceable job portraying their characters, while a few others don't appear to be acting, just being themselves on camera. The musical score was also top notch, I felt like it really complimented the film well. And finally, the writing is moderately good enough to keep me interested in how the story would end. The cinematography was nothing special, very average shooting with little to no artistic direction.

So would I recommend this film? I don't really know, i suppose if you like Reservoir Dogs, you might like it, but then again you might not, its up to you.
