Os Filhos Bastardos

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.

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!!!

If you dig gangster movies and you're a Jersey native then this is the movie for you. So go grab your self a pork roll egg and cheese a good whiskey and check this one out.

Directed with taut precision and style, the film dives deep into the murky world of organized crime and explores the complex dynamics of family and loyalty.

"Bastard Sons" is an unmissable gangster movie that will keep you enthralled throughout. With its stellar performances and gripping narrative, the film is sure to leave you captivated and entertained. Prepare to be taken on a thrilling journey filled with violence, suspense, and complex themes of family and loyalty.

I was quite lucky to see this film on the big screen at a local screening. I've always been a story-driven person, and I was pleasantly surprised to find myself completely immersed in the story of this film, from start to finish.

What makes this film so immersive and gripping in addition to its brilliant writing; it's in the amazing sound design and score, the direction which puts you in the middle of the action and emotions of each scene, and the talented cast who brought all of the characters to life. This film is sure to move and surprise even the most stoic of viewers.

I'm usually a very tough sell on movies of similar themes, but I can honestly say, I left the theater wanting more. I'm hoping for a sequel (or prequel) story, because the characters are so darn good, I can't help but want to know more of their stories. I highly and enthusiastically recommend this film!

"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!
