Among Them

A robbery gone wrong as they then figure out what to do next. One of the better indie films out there. Lots of ups and downs and the actors are super talented.

This is the type of film that makes you think and keeps you wondering about the characters and the story. A lot is left intentionally unexplained, letting you come to your own conclusion. Many shots in critical action scenes are also intentionally left out, causing you to fill in the blanks with your own imagination. This movie will challenge your mind. It was excellent.

Great film! Lots of mystery from the start to finish. Actors gave it their all and if anything the storyline is a winner. Should at least be a 7 on here

Loved the way this turned out. Surprising ending and a fast paced action, thriller movie. Lots of suspense and decent dialogue also.

"Among Them" is layered with crime thriller bromide, faux paranormal teases, and character complexity that is as confusing as it is engaging. The story keeps you guessing from the moment the cast decide to hold up in a very disturbing locale. The film starts off almost benign, a bank robbery sends criminals on the run, but it doesn't take too long to realize that there is more going on.

The acting is a bit stiff, the cast seems committed to the characters, but also feel slightly reserved in portraying them. That being said, I did find the characters fully fleshed out and relatable. "Among Them" does start out with a slow pace but midway things pick up and the film pulls you in. But like I said, the story is super complex and slightly confusing. It keeps you wondering what is really going on right until the end.

The action and horror elements are typical paranormal-esque gimmicks that may or may not be all in the characters' minds. It all is very entertaining and the overall concept is both familiar and yet somewhat original. The closest film I can compare this too is "Soul Survivor", but that may not really be accurate. Like I said, the film kept me guessing.

Overall "Among Them" is a well acted, entertaining film. I am not 100% sold on the ending but kind of think I know what Barry was going for. It will be up to individual viewers to decide whether or not "Among Them" is a film to like. The faux paranormal moments are typical and the story does get a bit muddled toward the end. Still I found a lot about the film entertaining.
