600 Millas

I enjoyed it.

'600 Miles' is fairly simple and doesn't trailblaze anything new, yet for what it is I found entertainment in it. Tim Roth is good and Kristyan Ferrer is solid, I liked seeing them two in a road trip setting. The film does wrap up quicker than I thought it would, but that's not a negative. Nowt special, though suitably watchable.

I really hope this film gets a theatrical US release, at least in some limited theaters. I think it's a pretty effective character piece, even if much of it is driven by its plot and circumstances. It succeeds in its ability to make us empathize with its characters and humanize them even when not forgiving their flaws. There are many films of this type, but this is just another one that cleverly walks a fine line between being a crime tragedy and also exposing the horrors that come with people involved n this kind of business. It's effective, and definitely recommended in terms of what cinema fans may want to see. Definitely seek this one out, do yourself a favor.

Laid back approach to exciting drama that gets where it's going to very slowly and quietly. For the most part though the director keeps us distant from the characters and the action. Unfortunately this limits our involvement.

I liked this movie. It's good for washing you off Hollywood stuff once in a while. The camera behavior differs from the habitual and leaves you pondering and doing your own interpretation in a variety of moments. This different take leaves you in the edge of the couch sometimes! It also shows how easy it is for a stupid young man to buy loads of guns and how easy it is for a young man to choose the wrong path.

This films basic plot is ok. However, the movie has one major flaw. It is painfully slow and develops at a snails pace. This has an adverse impact on the whole film. Neither the story or the characters progress sufficiently to keep your interest. Also the hand held camera style is used quite a bit. Whilst it may be intended to give the film reality. It actually tends to make the film appear low budget. In the end this film is boring and it's a struggle to make it to the end.
