No Deposit

I'm a great fan of Frank D'Angelo and I just seen his latest movie No Deposit at the ICFF film festival in Toronto. I gotta tell you it is one of his best works to date. What I love about his films is the realness, that he delivers through the story and characters that he builds. It's a beautiful piece of dramatic cinema with a super cast of talented actors. Daniel Baldwin and Michael Madsen, these guys can play the meanest scariest guys ever and they pull off their roles incredibly well. They take no prisoners. And Paul Sorvino, he brings his a game to every movie he's in. This is a film that makes you want to see it twice its so good, well worth the money.

So I watched the movie No Deposit at the Quad about a week ago, and pretty liked it. Well, it is not perfect, and I have some comments, but all is all I liked it.

So let's start with the good comments… The cast was a great mesh of talent and realness. You could feel the chemistry between them. Wow. I also appreciated the cinematography throughout this movie. You can't believe this is a low budget film. Very rare.

However, I didn't like the story. I mean the story itself is good and entertaining, but I felt that it is not completed. Too many questions have crossed in my mind during this movie (I won't tell as I don't want to spoil) and I felt that the script need to be improved.

Yet, I liked this movie and I recommend you to watch it.

Caught this gem in theatres the other week and while I didn't know much about what this film was even about, my friends and I were impressed! We really enjoyed this film full of a pretty fantastic cast! I really enjoyed seeing some actors that I haven't seen in a while and wondered why!! Michael Pare was fantastic! His character was convincing and authentic. D'Angelo did a great job too! Was nice to see some greats in this film, like PETER COYOTE and MICHAEL MADSEN!! This film had so many well known actors in it and the story line itself was realistic and well executed! Highly recommend anyone to see this film, especially if you are into small independent films that are Canadian and overall awesome!

Such a cool movie! This movie was raw, emotional, heated and passionate. I thoroughly enjoyed the cast and appreciated their realness. The acting seemed effortless which is what makes for an entertaining film.

I also enjoyed the story. This is a beautiful story, with a good structure and development. Having said that, I must admit I didn't understand why D'Angelo has decided to use Jewish, and anti - semitism for the reason of the siege. The connection was not very clear and I had expected to see any development in this direction.

All in all, the movie is great. Really enjoyed it and recommend you to watch it too.

I just watched the film No Deposit at the ICFF Film Festival in Toronto, and was really impressed with this movie. I especially liked Michael Madsen, haven't seen him in many movies lately, but this is a role that he owns, probably one of his best roles to date next Reservoir Dogs, very gritty and complex. It's a simple movie with a great story, fantastic plot and a great cast of characters. It just goes to show you that independent films is where it's at, you do not need a lot of money to make a great movie. If you get a chance to watch this movie do so, it's coming out at Cineplex Theatres in Toronto June 19th and it's a must see!
