Three Holes, Two Brads, and a Smoking Gun

3 Holes and a Smoking Gun is an homage (in the satirical sense) to Hollywood and in the vein of anti-Hollywood films like Robert Altman's masterpiece, The Player. It shows at what lengths people will go to make it in "the business" and land the perfect script (the MacGuffin of the film).

It's contrived in some ways, but only to further advance the story and hammer home the strong themes. The performances are nothing short of believable, especially from breakout star James Wilder who portrays the ex-Hollywood player, Bobby Blue Day.

The intelligent script weaves in emphatic twists and turns seamlessly and eventually leaves us stunned after the second act climax with no idea about what's going to happen next. This film is an accomplishment for independent cinema.

3 Holes and a Smoking Gun can be seen on demand on many outlets like iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, or the Playstation and Xbox Stores, among others, as well as in theaters in limited release around the US. It is worth the price of admission.

I just gave a like to "3 Holes and a Smoking Gun" on fb; liked that movie quite a bit ! Nice work. Quite a story. What plot twists. Tragic all the way through to the bitter end ! Great acting all the way. Very special scenery and props. Loved the cinematography. Very nice lighting, too. Good good directing I suppose !

Rudolf Martin is coolest in the mugging scene. Yeah definitely. Great acting - great directing! And i really like the overall look and feel of the production. You know like they say in swing music, if you have a sense of the tempo going up, THAT'S swing; Now in movies, when you forget it's a movie and start to feel like you're really there while it happens, THAT'S a movie to you ! 😉😊

3 Holes and a Smoking Gun was outstanding. Not only did all of the actors give a strong performance but the cinematic techniques used in this film were done really well. This film could easily pass as a high budget film. I applaud the crew and actors for their time and dedication into making this film so great.

The storyline was spectacular. There are a lot of films out there that are similar to one another but, I can honestly say I have never seen anything quite like this. The writer carefully thought out each event, leading to the next. The creativity put into this film is above and beyond.

I highly recommend seeing this film, whether you are in the mood to feel inspired or if you are a filmmaker yourself.

I saw this movie On Demand and really enjoyed it. For the budget of this film, the writer, director, and producers did a great job putting it together.

It's shot very well, which makes it look like a much higher budget. It's got a great tone, and has some really comedic moments, as well as some good action scenes, that really balance out some of the slower dialogue-driven apartment scenes. This helps keep the pace without boring the audience.

The performances are stellar, especially from James Wilder who perfectly portrays the flawed Bobby Blue Day. The script is very tight, and, though dialogue driven at times, stays smart, witty, and ahead of the viewer until the very last frame.

The impeccable direction pulls the script and acting together in a very nuanced way that makes for a really enjoyable movie experience. This film is a must see if you like smart thrillers.

Decent acting and direction; talky with little action. Watch it if you have nothing better to do. I've given it a low score because it was nothing special, but also for the perfects (fake) reviews. This would NOT be a "10" in the eyes of anyone who was not involved in the making of the flick. To artificially pity-party into into a masterpiece is simply wrong. Shame on you.
