I've heard a few remarks about the pace of the movie, saying it is too slow. I completely disagree, there are so many aspects which get this film in a place in the indie film buzz, every single one in its own way and it would be horrible if we'd see a too fast paced film containing ridiculous cliffhangers like we see them on the major film.
Because this way you can entirely fall in love with the movie, the characters and every tiny detail of the story and the best part of it, it is unbelievably addictive and makes you starve for the next scene.
Flashbacks were very well done, not to flashy and and not drawn out. There were some uncomfortable close ups in the film but after I accepted it as a style of the film and not an isolated cute episode on the editor I started to enjoy them.
Excellent - from the writing and production sets to the acting, costumes, lighting, filming and originality. I've seen a few good indie films lost to not enough exposure, I hope this one doesn't end up lost but finds a home. Legends of DarkHorse County has some very dark characters, and a lot of grey characters, and it all adds up to brilliant dialogue and plot lines.
Enjoy every second. I just wish I could watch it for the first time again and know nothing of what's going to happen.
This is a movie review so it's best not to get into opinions here, although it isn't easy with such a delicate, tragic and controversial topic as young kids getting high jacked.
What I will say is that there are two sides to every story and not to believe that evil is always bad. I recommend considering this concept to be the strong point of the movie before forming a concrete opinion overall of this film.
The movie itself is average. It has the look and feel of a well made TV movie. The subject matter is very complex and obviously dumbed down a little for the audience.
I must admit that I was impressed with the casting.
Good casting. Average production. A few nice shots.
Overall, if you are looking for a fresh look on Good vs Evil, this one not that bad at all.
Why You Might Not Like It: It does run a bit short, so some movie-goers might think that they needed more time to make it a movie, but I don't think this movie will lose anyone's interest. The first half of the movie you may get frustrated with "where is this going syndrome" but pretty shots held me in my seat enough to get a reward at the end that it went somewhere.
Acting/Casting: 9.5* - As mentioned, the casting and acting is outstanding. Lee Majors and Michael Biehn give a great performance just would like to have seen more of them. The indie actors are downright creepy and plays their part to a tee.
Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 7.5* - Let me just say that there is room for improvement for sure but a lot of nice spots. The editing in this movie is gripping and pulls the viewer in from start to finish. I can't say enough about all of the small things that go into making the atmosphere in the movie amazing (the choice of settings, the buildings, lighting, etc.)
Plot/Characters: 8.5* - This is arguably one of the better abduction/kidnapping stories that I have seen on a low budget level. On this subject matter most indie films seem to fall into the trap of using gore for shock factor not for story content. If you are looking for a slice and dicer you will be disappointed with Legends. The plot is deep and has many layers that keep the viewer guessing all the way up until the very end but not with blood splats. There is no doubt that the story plays a huge role in the final product that you see on the screen.
Entertainment Value: 8.0* - It keeps you guessing throughout and on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Get out and see it.
A movie that doesn't follow Hollywood 'formula' can be very good. But this movie was a hit with a couple of misses. And yes, I understand part of the appeal is a great plot twist, but so what. I require strong plot humor and a "good deal of action" - all 3.
In the third act the film amps up with some really nice action scenes that made me feel cheated I did not see this in the films earlier acts.
They had two bad guys, both great, but I needed more understanding of how they were connected. Fortunately I could easily discount that and stay engaged without a bother to the strong story punch at the end.
I like movies that are entertaining on face value, and have a subtext and/or character arc that allow you to think and see some value and depth to the movie. Legend of Darkhorse County has it; I just would like a few more gun shots and action scenes to keep me involved to what already was a strong story with more than believable acting.
This movie was OK entertaining at face value until the end then it became something more or significant than just entertainment. When it was over I was thinking back trying to figure out some hidden meanings, or something I have missed and then found on both a religious and sociological splendor - part of the fun.
I just have to say everyone and anyone that likes indie films they should see it. Sorry about all the gushing on demanding for more action, that is just me.
This movie is undoubtedly not for everyone.
Make an Indie version of "Taken" with less action and and a better plot twist (easy to do) and that is what you are in for - still a good watch
