The Bastard Sons

This is the worst movie I've seen in a long time. The plot is thin and a rip off of classics. There is zero character development, chemistry, or good dialogue. It's a redone story and redone poorly! The acting is poor and the action scenes were trash! Anyone giving this great reviews has to be planted. No way!!! It was community college level and that's being kind. HORRIBLE...skip it!

I can't even begin to explain all the reasons this movie didn't work and it a hack job. Independent films need to be thought provoking and original. This movie was neither and was below low budet...no budget! JUST PLAIN BAD!!!

If you dig gangster movies and you're a Jersey native then this is the movie for you. So go grab your self a pork roll egg and cheese a good whiskey and check this one out.

Directed with taut precision and style, the film dives deep into the murky world of organized crime and explores the complex dynamics of family and loyalty.

"Bastard Sons" is an unmissable gangster movie that will keep you enthralled throughout. With its stellar performances and gripping narrative, the film is sure to leave you captivated and entertained. Prepare to be taken on a thrilling journey filled with violence, suspense, and complex themes of family and loyalty.

As a film fanatic that has watched movies from shorts, to indies, to those summer blockbusters, this was truly a pleasant surprise. When you know a project doesn't have a ton of money behind it you have to focus more on the story, the writing, acting, & all the other little pieces that move it along. By the end this is a film that leaves you wanting more & hopefully if there is a sequel it gets that bigger budget it rightfully deserves. Think Four Brothers meets the Knockaround Guys (if you haven't seen those films, you should) & if you aren't a fan of that genre that's ok, this film has multiple twists & reveals that would satisfy the "who done it" & thriller crowds alike. 8/10.

"The Bas+ard Sons" is an exceptional cinematic experience, thanks to Kevin and his talented team. The gripping story line they've crafted is both compelling and thought-provoking, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats throughout. The surprise ending adds an extra layer of intrigue, leaving audiences with lingering excitement and a desire for more. Kevin's direction and the team's attention to detail truly shine, making this movie a standout. The potential for a prequel or sequel has me eagerly anticipating more from this compelling universe. Moreover, the film showcases New Jersey as a fantastic backdrop, raising hopes for it to be the setting for the next great series featuring the Garden State. Kudos to Kevin and the entire team for delivering an unforgettable cinematic experience!

One of those "better than I expected, but not as good as I'd hoped" movies.

The story itself deserves some good will. The setup is good, the characters -- as written -- are an interesting bunch, and there are some "did not see that coming" moments.

Unfortunately, the characters -- as acted out on the screen -- are a mixed bag from barely passable through to mediocre and laughable as far as the acting goes. The acting here is about on a par with those small budget Omeleto shorts.

The directing is bland. The shoot outs and action scenes don't generate much excitement -- a fact underscored by some low budget special effects.

With better actors and some good directing, this could have been an interesting movie.
