Os Filhos Bastardos

"The Bas+ard Sons" is an exceptional cinematic experience, thanks to Kevin and his talented team. The gripping story line they've crafted is both compelling and thought-provoking, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats throughout. The surprise ending adds an extra layer of intrigue, leaving audiences with lingering excitement and a desire for more. Kevin's direction and the team's attention to detail truly shine, making this movie a standout. The potential for a prequel or sequel has me eagerly anticipating more from this compelling universe. Moreover, the film showcases New Jersey as a fantastic backdrop, raising hopes for it to be the setting for the next great series featuring the Garden State. Kudos to Kevin and the entire team for delivering an unforgettable cinematic experience!

In the tradition of gangster flicks like the Departed and films about brotherly bonds like 4 Brothers comes a meditation on family, fatherhood and the effects of raising children around violence and the criminal underworld. Written directed and starring Kevin Interdanato as the defacto boss of a small criminal empire in North Jersey, The Bastard Sons dives headfirst into a gritty story about revenge, greed and murder. The story and acting were all top notch and my only complaint is that the ending left me wanting a sequel! If you are looking for a no holds barred, bloody, action packed crime drama, look no further.

There has been a plethora of Gangster/Crime/Mobster films and tv shows released over the years. From Scorsese's classics to Pulp Fiction to The Sopranos. There's also an underbelly of garbage out there. Thankfully this film delivers the goods!

The Bastard Sons lives on it's own. It's unique. The characters are very real. It feels like I am watching everything unfold in real time. There are a few scenes in the second act that make your blood pressure rise and heart rate shoot up. It's that kind of ride.

And the ending...you won't see it coming.

Be sure to check it out if you are a fan of the genre.

This is the worst movie I've seen in a long time. The plot is thin and a rip off of classics. There is zero character development, chemistry, or good dialogue. It's a redone story and redone poorly! The acting is poor and the action scenes were trash! Anyone giving this great reviews has to be planted. No way!!! It was community college level and that's being kind. HORRIBLE...skip it!

I can't even begin to explain all the reasons this movie didn't work and it a hack job. Independent films need to be thought provoking and original. This movie was neither and was below low budet...no budget! JUST PLAIN BAD!!!

One of those "better than I expected, but not as good as I'd hoped" movies.

The story itself deserves some good will. The setup is good, the characters -- as written -- are an interesting bunch, and there are some "did not see that coming" moments.

Unfortunately, the characters -- as acted out on the screen -- are a mixed bag from barely passable through to mediocre and laughable as far as the acting goes. The acting here is about on a par with those small budget Omeleto shorts.

The directing is bland. The shoot outs and action scenes don't generate much excitement -- a fact underscored by some low budget special effects.

With better actors and some good directing, this could have been an interesting movie.
