Godmoney

A cheaply produced film, with no stars but a very intriguing story about a young loner Nathan, - well played by unknown Rick Rodney - who moves from New York, on the run from a life of crime, to the suburbs but after getting fired from his low paying job, he gets mixed up with the local drug dealer in order to raise the money he is desperate for just to get by. The story unfolds intriguingly but the ending is not the best, which is a shame. Apart from that it is very well written, acted and well worth a rental.

This film contained the power of what I believe is stupendous! I choose this film as one of the greatest films I have ever seen overall under Platoon, Three Kings, The Shawshank Redemption, and Life is Beautiful. Darren Doane is the best is movie and music videos.

The only thing interesting about this movie was the Jane's Addiction poster in the main character's bedroom. Godmoney not only copies from other GOOD movies, but also includes some very mediocre acting. The main character, Nathan, does a decent job most of the time but the rest of the cast was weak. I had a hard time sitting through the whole movie. I expected a lot and got zip. Any other movie in this genre would likely be better.

Considering the movie is made on a limited budget it's not bad at all. Interesting enough storyline and whilst you'll get no Oscar worthy performances from the cast it's hardly bad in that regard. Strife fans alone will want to see Ricks performance which is decent to good for a man that isn't an actor per say.

I bought this DVD expecting a decent independent movie, but I was very disappointed. The acting was horrible, the direction was bad, the script was terrible. I usually can think of something good to say about a film, but I am at a loss for this one. What is even more disturbing is the director actually believes his actors were great in the film. I guess the soundtrack was ok and the DVD had lots of extras on it, but does not make up for the horrible movie. Thankfully, the director is humble and desires to learn more, lets hope he does.
