Bad Frank

It's obvious this is not a big budget Hollywood production, but what it has going for it are an excellent script and superior acting. I enjoy watching movies where the actors talk like people do in real life, which many times is completely lost on Hollywood, and in this case I believed all the actors. The lead in this was appealing and carried the movie. Tom Sizemore was also surprisingly good in this. There wasn't much to the story, nothing going on here you most likely haven't seen before, but this is one to watch for the performances. Kevin Interdonato is reason enough to give this a watch. Maybe not a keeper, but worth a one time watch.

Saw this and loved the poster. Synopsis seemed cool so gave it a look.

Started off good.

Missing medication. Anger starting to return.

Estranged from his family and loved ones. Violent past. All felt as if falling into place to be an explosion.

But it took far too long to get anywhere. I enjoy slow burns if there is a pay off but this left me wanting.

The acting is very good. Especially the scenes between father and son.

Even Tom Sozemore was ok. Although he did ham it up a little in the interrogation scene.

There's scenes that were in the trailer that doneven appear in the film!? Talking to his therapist!? Never happened. Puzzling as to why?

The poster gives impression of a much darker and more violent film than we end up getting.

I expected an explosion of anger and retribution but just got a fizzle.

Shame as it had potential.

Once the story is underway, not a bad film. Recommend you check it out,

I often rate the movies after I ask myself: Did I get, what I expected?

This, I did not expect, not at all - especially as I read the other reviews beforehand. You have to know: This is not an action flick, this is a thriller. The story is supposed to develop slowly - and it works just fine. If you're getting sick of all the mainstream-superhero-movies with chewed-up one-liners, if you're getting sick of watching a plothole-riddled movie with an average cut-length of 1.5 seconds, Bad Frank is what you have to watch.

Well-written story with a little room left for your imagination, well-written characters with thought-off backstorys, good use of very little music, good acting! Is the story new? No, but the story of Taken, as it is wrongfully compared to in the other reviews, isn't either.

And please don't forget the small budget. Writer and director Tony Germinario and the great cast made nearly every penny work. I'm pleased, that there are people left in the business, who can make a really decent movie without any explosion...

For a low budget movie, I was impressed. Just a few characters and few sets, but well directed. A few twists I didn't expect and a not a usual ending.
