Home Free

I very bravely managed to watch this half way through but I couldn't take any more. The amateur acting was one thing but the story was too ridiculous to be at all believable.

As things started out, I was a little worried HOME FREE might veer too far in to soap-opera-y melodrama territory, but I was quickly proven wrong. This is an exciting film that keeps you on the edge of your seat for the entire running time and has more than its fair share of thrilling twists and turns. When it comes to the plot, I don't think I've seen a ton of movies of its type made recently. The movie harkens back to all the murder plot collection scheme movies that were prevalent in the 40s and 50s. HOME FREE is very much a DOUBLE INDEMNITY or THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE for modern times. Casting wise, the movie is well acted and Boynton Paek in particular impresses in his first Wild Dogs starring role. Paek is a powerhouse here and more than carries the weight of the film's heavy subject matter. HOME FREE is a solid indie that does not disappoint. Highly recommended.
