Moving Parts

Indy films have to be criticised in a more gentle manner than Hollywood flicks because they don't have the money or stars backing them. So, when I began watching this film, I kept that in mind. However, the acting was so stiff and the dialogue halting and unnatural that I couldn't keep my point of view in the positive range. This movie lacks continuity and makes little sense about the relationships of its actors to one another. The fight scenes in the first 10 minutes are unconvincing with camera cuts to avoid any sort of convincing acting. As well, the actors playing the men on the bridge fight scene were SO unbelievable, especially the one of the man whose wife's fidelity was being questioned. I could say more, but I won't. The cinematography was nicely done, with good lighting and nicely staged scenes.

Don't just walk to your TV, RUN and watch MOVING PARTS! Harley Wallen does it again with assistance from Jerry Hayes and Nancy Oeswein. A true thriller with more twists and turns than 20 miles of bad road! Acting, superb! Plot, magnificent! Sound and editing, top notch! Don't be the only person at the pub NOT talking about this film. Shout out to everyone involved. As an actor I can only dream of being part of something like this! As a movie aficionado thank you, guys. You made my night!

As I see the wide spread between the lovers and the haters it's pretty clear that there were a bunch of people giving the movie potentially a little higher score than they truly felt it deserved. It's also clear that some people are just flat out disrespectful and rude and voted the film down.. Let's be reasonable... This film won a few awards one of them a biggie and made quite a few festivals so it clearly isn't junk and yes it's a low budget indie so production value is going to take a hit and yes, with a limited budget you'll end up with what some may consider a few somewhat hokey performances but this is a great story, it's well acted and nicely lit and captured.. Common decency, courtesy and sense are unfortunately getting less and less common..

This movie was a mess! Poorly paced...The cinematography and the way it was directed was so confusing it lost whatever story was trying to be told- which I still don't know what that was! Im tired of these "Awards Factories" that allow people to pay to win and use their laurels for promotional purposes when they aren't even real film festivals! Cause it baits people into watching movies like these thinking they must be good.

I really enjoyed the story with its multiple subplots that come together with a few good twists and many good performances. It's not a Hollywood big budget film. But I do recommend this film, as this was a good enjoyable low budget independent film.
