3 Days Gone

The film was something that I did not expect as I was just trying to relax with something new. The writing was better than most films today in that I did not figure it out. There were many twists and turns in this film but the Directing was what made the film an 8 out of 10. The camera work was really good and only a few lemons as actors throughout the entire flick. It made me think of TRAFFIC and the seedy and dark world that pulls you in and drags you down to it's level. At the same time, the film had many characters that were exactly where they needed to be so that it seemed like you were on the screen with them. Michelle was better in this than anything that I have ever seen her do. This should be a breakout role for Patrick Adams in that he is soooooo good in this film. The reason to watch this film can be summed up in two words: COWBOY JACK! This is a fact and this film is worth buying for Charles Wesley's performance in this film. Being conservative and with a bit of humility: " I want to dance for him at his bar TONIGHT!"

Simple words and phrases are how I describe this film. No Fat and Crap that is what today's theaters are full of so much. The best and worst of the film are clearly seen throughout. The thing that the film lacked was a Director. Looked him up and found that he was not up for this script. With an average Director, this could have been at the theaters. Now the good stuff: : The camera work, lighting, angles were good and it has a dark flavor that fits the film. : The Lukas character was someone that grew on you as the story goes along. The big thug killer was good and as advertised. The guy looked big and mean. : The Make-up was a little better than good and it was like a real experience

The Really good stuff: : The girlfriends and side kicks of the main characters were really good. The cops had ups and downs with scenes but if you buy the concept then : The medical guy was really good and almost a comic relief. : Locations were nice in that you moved into each location with ease and you were interested in each one of them.

The Great stuff: : Almost all of the leads were great in their roles. : The script was great and could actually have a sequel. ( I would like to see one ) : Music was great and fit the show in a great way. Unheard of artists and the title song was cool.

The Best stuff:

: Cowboy Jack ( If you have not seen the film, see it for this guy )

All in all

Creative Fun Exciting New Fresh Different

In 2 words Cowboy Jack The film is well written and shot. The film lacks direction. The acting is hit and miss but the ones that hit really crush it. (Charles Wesley, Michelle Stafford, Patrick Adams) It seems that in the world of STUDIO FILMS that one does tend to miss a gem and 3 Days Gone is a gem. Locations were really good and the Production Value is as good as I have seen for this type of genre. Cowboy Jack Take the extra few quid that might fill your pockets and but this film and you will come back to this review and thank me. TRAFFIC and TRUE ROMANCE are the 2 films that come to mind but it seems to be more complex than both of those films. I had to watch it twice in that I figure out the endings usually at the half-way point in almost every film that I watch. Cowboy Jack And in case you are wondering about Cowboy Jack, he seems to find the Umphhh in Cheeky. Gary Oldman has this in TRUE ROMANCE and many other roles. This Charles Wesley probably has to be a STAR that has not shown it's light or he must be Cowboy Jack in person. Regardless, I want one for Christmas!

Wow! In a word it was really a WoW kind of film! It is one of those kinds of films that you think that you can figure it out but you can't. The film takes turns and twists that you never expect and that keeps you glued to the story. I like the Cowboy Jack character and I want to see him again. ( maybe at my house ) This is a must see if you like action and mystery without all the BS special effects. A really exciting drama/mystery/suspense film that I will also buy. The cast was really strong and I loved the locations. This is a film that makes you wonder why the studio system cannot put films like this on the big screen. It takes good writing like 3 Days Gone to give the over budget Studio Crap films that special kick in the pants that will allow them to do better. The film 3 Days Gone should be seen by everyone that likes good movie making. The writers should be acknowledged as the cutting edge story tellers of today. Bravo!

Boom Boom Pow! The story is really good and in fact this is as good as any films that I have seen in the last 5 years. 3 Days Gone is a great film for people like me that do try to know what the ending will be and also want to be surprised. This film does not disappoint the audience as many others do today. Smart characters are what hold the film together in this twisting and turning thriller. Some characters are good and then there is THE CHARACTER "COWBOY JACK" If you have to imagine what a Bad guy is that you hate and love at the same time, this is your man. Highs and lows run their course throughout the film but when you see Jack, your heart begins to race. Without spoiling this cool film, I will say that you must see this movie if for no other reason but Cowboy Jack. Yes, there are hot women and there are action scenes that are different and super sneaky. The camera work was exceptionally good. The Directing should have been stronger but most of the characters hold you close to the film and make the ride a roller coaster full of extreme speed and hard turns.
