Brutal

After reading the storyline it sounded like a good idea for a movie but I have to admit, I was somewhat put off by it's rather low score. But, on reading the reviews people had taken the time to post, I came to the conclusion I would give this film a go. Well am I ever glad I did. I love mobster style movies and this one is very good at what it does. Obviously low budget, but don't let that distract you from what is a well written and mostly well acted movie. The lead actor does especially well and should go on to bigger if not better things. Yes there are a few faces you will recognise, but for most it, the actors you don't know do a very good job. It was not the most original of movies but, then again, what movies these days are original. I also felt that it could have been maybe another 15mins in length to show a few more details about the main characters person life. But, all in all I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to anyone who cares more about a films plot than it's budget, especially if they enjoy gangster style movies.

Do you know I started to watch this film and I didn't really know who the actors were, you could tell there wasn't a huge budget making this but that didn't seem to matter as the story line progressed. Fantastic realism, of people getting out of their depth you felt like you were one of the boys, the director Kamal certainly new what he was doing. I could actually feel the tension in the room when one of the guys was waiting at a bar for some money and didn't trust the people there. I was seriously on the edge of my seat watching this because you just had no idea what was going to happen next. It's a great script and great acting I can't recommend this movie enough, you have to go and see it. Iv seen this movie 3 times now and it just gets better the more I watch. This is going in my top 20 Gangster movies of all time.

I enjoyed the film very much! I grew up in a similar neighborhood and appreciated the indie style and grittiness of the story as it added real value. If you read thru the previous comments there are pro's and con's to every story however, this story grabs you and keeps you going thru the tale as it unfolds with a few surprises as well. I was entertained and interested to see where it was going with out figuring out the ending half way thru, which is a plus these days in traditional Hollywood films. The film maker gets my vote, the actors were believable some more than others and there are a few situations in the film that only people who have lived them would only understand which gives it an authentic appeal. It's worth a few hours of your investment for this story to be told !

I already wanted to see 1000 Times More Brutal before I found out the ex member of The Jerky Boys Kamal Ahmed wrote & directed it but after I found out, it made me want to see it even more.The movie starts out r....e....a....l slow but after 30+ minutes in, things start to get interesting & it was good from then on.It's definitely worth waiting around for.I think my favorite thing about the movie was not just the bits of humor here & there but that it wasn't a BIG Hollywood production.If it was, it wouldn't have been as good.The characters felt real like you actually might run into them on the street even though you wouldn't want to.The movie wasn't full of well manicured lawns, shiny brand new cars, HUGE houses out of something on Extreme Home Makeover or any of that typical Hollywood garbage that they like to put into each & every movie they make.If you like Mafia/Crime movies then I think you might like 1000 Times More Brutal (Why not give it a shot?) Kamal Ahmed picked out the perfect title for this movie because not only was the beginning brutal but the ending was as well.It comes out of nowhere & then, BAM!!! If you're looking for a typical Hollywood Mafia movie, forget about it.This movie is NOT the 1

This is an indie movie so don't expect some slick Hollywood film. That being said, the grittiness adds to believability of the film. It has a strong plot, sets the mood well and if you are a fan of gangster films, this is closer to reality than any Hollywood film. I'm Italian-American from NY and the characters were believable and recognizable. The director did a good job showing us a slice a life. Some of the actors were better than others ( I thought the lead role needed a stronger actor) and there were parts that could have moved along a little faster but overall the film was fun and I'd like to see more from the film-maker.
