The Deadbeats

A very entertaining film. The cast and the director did an incredible job. I couldn't give it anything less than 10 starts.

Mr. Patch is a tragic main character but somehow everybody in this movie is trapped in a bad situation. The absurdity makes it comical in a very artful way. I was impressed how much this film draw me in. The whole cast is amazing. The director got the best out of everyone of them. The work of the cinematographer and the makeup artist is outstanding. I have found that you need to watch Travis Mills movies more than once to appreciate all the details and hints beside the center acts.

It's not every day that a crazy angry pyschotic clown gets your sympathy, but that is exactly what happens in this film. The lead actor is incredible, showing us all off the bat (pun intended) that there is something a bit off about Patch the clown. Our "side" characters, who play a huge part scenewise and storywise add to this creative world being built, part fantasy part reality...essentially a circus show, with magic tricks and eccentric characters. I was never quite sure what our clown would do next and he does some awful things. Yet, somehow I end up laughing with him and then feeling bad for him...somehow I am rooting for this lunatic. That's another cool part about this movie, all these slimy characters...these deadbeats have something enduring about each of them. This is the blood of the film, but the story is crazy fun, the music perfect, the imagery wacky, all in all, I'd buy a ticket again to see this one.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Deadbeats. While I missed a few references from the beginning it didn't impact my enjoyment . I will watch it again for sure and please note if I watch a movie a second or third time I liked it a lot. Good job to the actors. Very authentic portrayals of the characters.

Im frim czech so please forgive me my english. But i must speak, im not a relative or a friend of the creators, but i gave this movie 10/10 anyway. And why is that ? This movie is amateour, its true but in other hand is creative, funny and quirky. This movie has some very creative absurd scenes, like that one in weapons shop (Please, try that taser on me). Characters are well played and for low budget movie there was great effort. So, please cut this movie some slack, it was great.
