A Free Bird

If you like watching useless garbage then this is the film for you ... i didn't read any reviews before watching this fiasco so it disappointed me because it stunk

I tried watching this on amazon but to be honest I just couldn't focus on it. It is either not my style a comedy - I am feeling grumpy after watching more than a third of it - or it is not in fact a comedy. It features a lot of talking but hardly any jokes. There is some bad language involved as well, which I haven't felt added much to the enjoyment of the film. The leading roles are not strong enough to keep my interest or funny enough to make me laugh. There were only a few places visited for the first half of the film and I stopped watching after this. It is only so much I can forgive a movie before I give up on it. This is only 1 of a few movies I stopped watching because of quality (or lack off).

All in all I was disappointed with this movie and can't help wondering how is this rated so high on here.

The acting was good. The main character and his "friend" Jimmy were very good. Also, shot well, clean set-ups and motivations. Maybe a bit repetitive, but it did not stop it from being entertaining. I liked the simple story, it allowed for character development and for comic situations with out getting complicated. I saw it on Youtube. Funny at times and I enjoyed it! I am a filmmaker and know how hard it is to pull off a low budget feature film. These guys did it. So, pop open a beer, sit back and don't take it at all serious and I think you have a good time watching this lesser known comedy film.

I about peed in my pants during JT's encounter with the employment agent, and the actor who played the colorful, in-way-over-his-head Jimmy Bobo fellow was typecast for that role. Without giving away the central plot line, the concept of planning the heist without considering its spoil rate was genius, while at the same time showing the desperation (and ignorance) of the main characters, who despite their limited means, never seem to lack for smokes, booze and choice language. Oh, and we watched it a second time and picked up on even more of the hysterical irony. I look forward to more hilariously insightful films from Gregg Russell.

At the behest of my good buddy from the deep south, I gave this little indie a try, and am so glad I did. It's always awesome to come across fresh talent like the director/writer behind this, and the hilarious cast they assembled.

Whether you're familiar with this culture or not, y'all are gonna have a good time. A keenly southern -but very witty! - sense of humor, solid writing, memorable performances, and sharp direction mark this as a debut by a team with a fun future ahead of them.

One keeps hearing that Atlanta is fast becoming the Hollywood of the South, and finds like this lead me to believe it's true. Thanks to my southern buddy Doug for the rec!
