American Exit

I was really hoping for something special with this as it has the wonderfully weird Udo Kier in it and I like Dane Cook and there is even an appearance from old timer John Savage but the film has such terrible writing that it goes nowhere even with all that acting talent.

They should have carried the journey further to Mexico and made more effort with some exciting scenes down Mexico way but instead it goes nowhere and ends on a dusty road. The script is about as dusty and barren as the road they end up on. I also did not like the photography with its yellow tone and poor panning shots, it made the film feel cramped and a bit depressing.

The action is very poorly orchestrated and the character interaction between father and son seems overly forced and unbelievable. The story seems as if it has been written and then re-written and still not right so they just decided to go with it and cross their fingers.

Everything about the film just says meh!

Can't understand the negative reviews a gem of a movie in my opinion.

My wife and I scored this film an eight and recommend this movie.

Positives - Story, Acting Cinematography.

I didnt hate it just felt like nothing was happening or much connection apart from ( actor levi) as tge son. Dad didn't really seem bonded. Storyline was not engaging would have been nice to see some better scenery like a actually tropical beach to just dry rocks and dessert I didnt hate it just felt like nothing was happening or much connection apart from ( actor levi) as tge son.

All about the father & son getting to know each other a little. Dane Cook is very good in this.

He deserves to be given a lot of credit for solid acting dealing with a difficult subject matter in a sensitive way.

It was better then i thought it would be, It was more about reconnect, it was about redemption, you had to read between the lines to get the whole story behind jt, Dane Cook surprised me as an serious actor.
