Roadkill

Right off the bat, this is a low budget film probably by some new unknown writer, director, etc... However, that being said I thought the production value was really good for such a low budget film. The filmatography is perhaps the best highlight of this film and props to the camera director, camera man, and the overall film editing.

However, the audio of the film is what gave it away. Some part has no music at all when it needs it and while other parts have music, such as the chase scene, the music was too quiet or not mixed correctly with the speech audio.

Either way, they were minor issues and overall production value was great. The other thing is the acting, which was surprisingly good for this level of budget. I thought the actors, especially the minor actors, were excellent. They were convincing and fit into the film well, didn't look like people who were reading a script.

Now, you are wondering why the 3 out of 10 then? It is the Script. It started out great, a mystery and it grows. But like most indy scripts, it ran out of ideas and tries to be too flashy. I mean, without giving spoilers, let's just say there are multiple twists and stack on each other. It may seem good on paper, but it makes the story convoluted.

So what started out as a great film in a positive direction ended up a total confusing mess. The ending was just terrible and made no sense at all.

3/10.

What do you get when you hire a Keanu Reeves look a like and a poundland Megan Fox? A film that sucks goats balls on a huge scale. Not based on the best hitch hiking movie ever the hitchiker of course so this is not even on the same level.

Dialogue which was written by a 5 year old and the most dire of acting on so many levels.

Not going to give any spoilers away because if you read my review you wont watch this movie and you will avoid at any costs.

Unsure why people finance these kind of films because you know your going to get your fingers burnt by a true critic and not one employed by the company churing this rubbish out.

Gave it 1 because there is no zero which sucks like this movie so go figure!

The hitch hiker who seemed to be crossed with Keanu Reeves and Russel Brand looked like he'd had a charisma bypass in this terrible and poorly directed flick. Not only could he not act to save his life, he couldn't even interact visually with the rest of the cast.

The rest of the cast were minutely better. The girl driver's roll seamed to be that she was trying to set a world record of sucking lolly pops and getting the wooden hitch hiker to remember his lines.

The rest of this hideous cast were archetypal rednecks, drawling their speech throughout this tin pot flick. If you can't act then don't make a movie !

I'd sooner give it 3 out of 567 billion. The dead turtle who she avoided on the road was the best actor in this awful flick. I can't reveal any spoilers cause there weren't anything to spoil.

I knew by the title it was going to be a B movie so I started watching with no expectations. However early on 2 children come out of the forest, Bakari Blocton and another boy. Their acting was natural as is true for most kids. That was the last time there was any acting in the film.

The plot was OK, female driver not what she seems, picks up male drifter also not what he seems and they have adventures. The story is an old one and nothing wrong with it, but the screenplay is shall we say...lacking? The dialogue seems to have been written by some 5 year olds and the acting is exactly what you'd expect from a B-C movie. There's not too much blood and gore but the action scenes might make you chuckle.

The props are poor, sets are poor, cinematography is poor and direction is poor. However if you love a good bad movie, and are in it for the laughs, it's not a bad watch, I've seen better but I've seen a lot worse too.

I was going to give it a 1 but I made it too just because Caitlin Carmichael looks like heaven in her jeans...

The acting is amateurish, the script same and the overdubbing blaringly present throughout.

The editing and camera work is competent but can not overcome the lagging pace and storyline.

I expect there is some promise with this direction/production team, and the actors probably deserve better scripting or commitment to the story. Unlikely to be awarded anything, I do hope these folks continue in the business because there is a lot of potential they might deliver something credible in the future. But don't expect to find a B movie here.
