Tell

I saw the poster for this movie, and it didn't look all that appealing. I thought it would be a brainless movie that tried to be cute but failing big time. In fact, the only reason I watched this was because of Katee Sackhoff. I've liked her ever since I saw her portrayal of Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica. She's one of the few actresses who can play a badass and be taken seriously doing it. Unfortunately, they don't make use of her ability to play that type of character. Still, the movie was fun and moved along at a fairly brisk pace without losing the storyline.

I have to say that the storyline wasn't especially original, but it was done with fun and flare. The movie largely belongs to Milo Ventimiglia, who plays a thief. Katee Sackhoff plays his using, money-grubbing wife/ex-wife to a "T." I gave this a 7-star rating because all the elements came together to make this a fun movie. Parts of it were humorous, other scenes were thrilling to watch. It's not a perfect movie, and there were some missed opportunities when they didn't make more use of Sackhoff. The one scene in the entire movie that is the most memorable is towards the end when Beverly (Sackhoff) informs Tell (Ventimiglia) of a very important reason why she did what she did. The emoting and vocal delivery were perfect.

Pretty much unwatchable. Lousy script. Amatuerish direction. Choppy editing. Sub-standard production values.

Number 1: Whoever hired a gaffer to be the director should be banned from making films altogether. Number 2: Whoever read this script and decided to purchase it from the 'writer' (a bit TV actor from four decades ago) should stick with reading Teen Vogue. Number 3: Whoever cast Milo in the lead role of this should be demoted to craft services. Number 4: Whoever rated this film higher than 2 or 3 stars was directly involved in the film.

Yes...it really is that bad!

A great B film that has been overlooked. Fine cast that turn in excellent performances. Actors you have seen quite often really shine here. Milo brings it home, sly Stallone would be proud. Do not let this one pass you by especially if you are crime genre fan.

Where to begin: this thing is so predictable, no humor or levity, bland unoriginal dialogue, a poorly shot chase scene, I couldn't force myself to finish it. A real waste of my time.

There is just so much hateing going on for this flick, I was compelled to give my 2 cents. This really isn't as bad as a lot of the reviews are claiming, is it memorable? no. Is it polished?, no. Honestly, what are you expecting from a cast and budget like this. It's entertaining with a dark sardonic wit and won't be the worst thing you watch in your lifetime. 😷
