Deacon

Tyler Cole presents an amazing "edge of your seat thriller in Deacon. I saw this film originally at a private screening in Los Angeles but recently found it on Tubi TV. The film held me captive from start to finish and I plan to purchase a copy on Venmo. This is a great example of what an indie film can do.

Suspending reliance on strict fact will allow you enjoy this indie treasure. The filmmakers put a lot of effort and care into making this film look unique in spite of the lower budget. If they'd had higher funding, I can only imagine what they'd have been able to pull off. Practical effects and a passionate eye for the cinematographic approach make this rugged, dark film a thoroughly enjoyable watch.

I viewed this film on Tubi. It had an old-school quality that most movies do not have anymore. There was a lot of good dialogue that helped move the film along but kept you engaged on how everything would line up. Visually the movie was stunning. Great sets and visual scenes scattered throughout gave it a gritty street feeling. Excellent camera work and special effects keep the film exciting and, at times, the edge of your seat.

The only few issues were some quiet audio sections or when the music was louder than the audio, but that was only three scenes. Also, being married to a Catholic, there were some inconsistencies with the Catholic church but nothing that would affect the plot.

Worth checking out from an independent filmmaker that has a few other films under his belt that I will check out as well.

While watching this film you get the sense you are seeing a future legend at work. Tyler Cole (Writer, Director, Lead Actor) delivers a genuine and nuanced performance. The whole cast is equally dedicated and all deliver wonderful performances. The story is intricate and magnetic, the flow of storytelling naturally pulls in the viewer. I recommend giving this hidden gem a watch. This is true independent cinema. Bravo !

Tyler Cole has given a fresh take on a thriller movie. Deacon makes you not only sit at the edge of your seat but it also makes you open your mind and think. I as well was invited to the private screening of the movie back a few years ago and will definitely be purchasing a digital copy of Deacon. I definitely recommend anyone watch this if you're looking for something new and fresh. I don't want to give anything away but believe me when I say, this is worth watching.
