Warning Shot

I thought this was a great indie film. Great script with natural intelligent dialogue.

Great acting especially by Bruce Dern and Guillermo Diaz. I hated Diaz's character, so good for him to have pulled that off. Lol.

This screenplay was a mess. Boring and unnecessary dialog that will leave you shaking your head. Who cares about water rights? Why did the one guy want to be a Dr. Phil and psychoanalyze the mother with "who cares" questions? How many times do we need to correct "gun" to "rifle"? Was this supposed to be humor?

Novice writer Breanne Mattson should just stick to short films, or at least needed to edit this down to 65-70 mins, not the 90 mins that felt like 120.

There was no real plot to this film, just a bunch of useless conversations with poorly acted "thrilling scenes" which I'm guessing novice director Dustin Fairbanks' inexperience failed to direct his actors.

David Spade wasn't bad for a serious role, but Tammy Blanchard and little Onata Aprile nailed their roles. James Earl Jones and Bruce Dern's small roles were decent but nothing extraordinary.

You'll probably want to pass on this film, as the trailer was way more exciting and pretty much is the entire film. Otherwise be prepared to fall asleep from boredom.

A generous 4/10 from me for the only 5-10 mins of good tension and the gals' acting.

"Warning Shot" 2018 is a halfway decent movie, but it's very cookie cutter. It's just another ordinary hostage movie, with a couple details rearranged. There is a lot of dialogue in this movie; it's pretty much nothing but talking. It feels like you're just spinnin' the wheels. There's barely a story at all. // This may be the first time I've ever seen David Spade in a serious role, and he kinda surprises me. James Earl Jones must be 110 now, and he's still great, as always. // The Bushwacker 10/25/2021.

Lots of tension!! Unconfortable but very entertaining!!

Terrible movie not worth watching the acting was horrible not even worth one star
