Run for the High Country

I usually just rate movies, don't write reviews. In this case, I just felt necessary to add a few words. This "movie" was HILARIOUS. Only watch it if you are a calm and relaxed person who doesn't mind wasting time watching it.

I watched it and enjoyed it, but it was definitely low budget. The acting by the peripheral characters was very bad.

Paul winters (the Director and Marshal) and Aden Azzie (the Indian boy) did an above average job of acting and directing the movie. The plot wasn't unprecedented but solidly done. The writing was simple, plain and straight forward. It's a tale of fiction so there is no comedy to falsify the immersion of getting into the characters. It's a well done low budget movie. I've been watching a few low budget movies lately. When you leave out zombies, super heroes, magic, fantasy, horror, romance and depend on story telling you don't need expensive CGI, over priced celebrities, Hollywood execs and corporate BS. You simple need a good tale. Therefore I liked this movie. Try it for yourself. If you think it's lackluster then odds are you're part of the lemming crowd brainwashed by Hollywood glitz. In that case just follow the lemmings in front of you over the inevitable cliff. That's an old game reference for you last two generations.

Very quickly you realize that this is terrible... acting is bad and the camera is shaking all over the place... Had to turn it off. Why would they waste money on this??

I absolutely love the premise, but that's about it. This is a potentially good story seemingly badly written if the movie is any indication. It feels like a book that was trying to be a movie and yet failed at both.

While I liked the multiple POV approach, there's too much "telling," which is saying a lot when you consider that, again, this is a movie, folks, not a book.

The acting is cringe worthy most of the time, though Paul Winters almost redeemed it right at the end.

I know this is a low-budget flick, but come on... some scenes are so badly executed they would be laughable were this a comedy. (Don't even get me started on the "wolf dog.")

But hey, I also loved the rugged landscape scenery. There.

I really wanted to like and praise this movie, but sadly, this is the best I could come up with. What a goddamn shame.
