Partners

This film provides its audience with many refreshing slice-of-unexpected-life events some sweet and some sour. The steady, constant pace of this film gave me the room to become emotionally invested in, not only the main characters, but also in the lives of the more peripheral characters and story lines. Though, in this piece, each story line takes center stage thanks to the excellent job on the part of editor, director, actors and, of course, the great script. This movie is evidence and proof that we do not always need CGI, special effects and sturm und drang to both create and enjoy good film. Bravo to cast, crew and producers!

A lovely film that gives us a glimpse into the deep emotions of a special pair of police officers.

We gingerly travel with our partners into some difficult and emotional life situations that could occur in the line of duty.

This film is beautifully directed with appealing cinematography. It showcases a story line that is well written with believable situations.

Partners has impressive supporting roles and boasts a rather large cast with very strong acting throughout.

I highly recommend the movie Partners. It is emotional and very satisfying..

This is an excellent film and is well written. It proves that special effects and big stars are not needed to make a great film. Every actor plays their part well.

I would certainly be watching this again. If you want to watch a film that is different to what's out there then this is the movie to watch.

It's got everything you need for a great night in. None of the scenes are over the top. There are five stories and each one is character driven.

The film keeps your attention and deals with real life situations.

Highly recommended and look forward to more from the team.

In a world of 170 million dollar movies and $100,000 plus 4K-8K Cinema Cameras, it can be so easy to forget how hard it can be to create and produce an independent film. Even harder than this is knowing that all the filmmakers and actors involved have regular lives and careers. I have to say, "Partners" was truly an incredible adventure for a few filmmakers. Creator, Writer, Producer, and Lead Actor, Darren W. Conrad, has done something that 90% of micro to small budget indie filmmakers could not even attempt to do with a law enforcement drama genre story. "Partners" is not meant to be a high action, glamorous police story. It is not set in a big city with a lot of car crashes, chases, etc. "Partners" is meant to simply tell a story from start to finish about the lives of two, small town, veteran police officers. The casting was incredible for the budget. The writing was pure and genuine. There are places in the film where the sound is not 100% perfect; but in no means is poor for a film made for video. The shots are simple but effective. The color correction and lighting is great for the story being told. Leads, Darren W. Conrad and Candace Blanchard are honestly brilliant for their characters. Neither one is forcing their dialogue and simply coming across as two believable and honest characters. I love the fact the film has 100% Original Score. Composer, Brad Hord, did a great job scoring each scene perfectly. The production design gives the film even a higher production value. Wardrobe, Cars, Locations, Props, etc:, are also a huge plus in this film. The film is basically meant to show a different side of police officers and what they deal with in their personal lives. For what it is worth, I love this film! I hope to see these filmmakers move forward in their careers and create higher budget work!

This film is definitely worth the watch. From the minute it starts it keeps your attention and is very straight forward written with no questions as to what is happening, although there are a couple of surprises along the way that you don't expect. Tastefully and tactfully written appropriate for family. Only once was a "bad word" used and it was justified to show the hurt an anger of the character.

This is not a high action police thriller with a lot of crime and over the top action scenes. Not a lot of violence, although with the story lines, you can definitely tell what these police officers are having to deal with. No blood or horror, just a dramatic story of mostly the personal lives of two police officers that work together and develop a very close personal loving bond.

The ending takes you by surprise and melts your heart.

Highly recommend this movie.
