"Surprisingly funny and well written. Richard Blake (Hunter) and Major Dodge (Joe), kept me in a love - hate relationship with their characters throughout the movie. The budding relationship between Sheila Houlihan (Donna) and Hunter, left me wondering if there will ever be a kiss. This humorously and delightfully assembled cast and crew makes this a sequel worthy movie, full of well scouted locations and unbelievable scenery drawing the audience into the storyline and action." "The music selection, by Collective Soul, was superb." "There is no doubt that this movie should be added to your must see list."
I am grateful that I have been introduced to the captivating work of Richard Blake! Since this introduction, I became a fan of the movie The Actor! Upon first viewing, it was only natural that I was enchanted by it's likable author, lead actor and director, Mr. Blake! I was introduced to Mr Blake and this work as a long-term fan of the music featured in this film by the one and only Collective Soul. Do you dare to take the dive yourself? If you love movies that weave action, suspense, great music and adventure into a seamless whole, there's a good chance you'll become a fan, too!
I look forward to seeing what the future holds for Richard Blake!

Richard Blake crafts a captivating story about Hunter Durban: a struggling LA actor just trying to find himself. Hunter ends up falling into a large amount of cash, which a gang of bad guys with a fearless & uncompromising leader (Major Dodge) will stop at nothing to retrieve from him. What follows is a truly inspiring piece of storycraft, where Dodge among others steal the show in a cat-and-mouse chase.
What truly blew me away was this story told in the background of a fantastic soundtrack made up of some of Collective Soul's best work. The film is a gripping action comedy, which I would highly recommend to any fans of rock, indie films, or just a general well put together action comedy.

Am gob smacked by seeing so many 10 / 10 reviews so have watched film and offer my realistic rating.
Shame in 2024 society of now, certain people choose to lie, attempt to create a perceived image - using multiple fake awesome 10/10 reviews.
Make a movie, put it out there, allow the audience to review.
These choose to pull wool over eyes, in my opinion this is very poor character so shall avoid if sadly see their names producing anywhere again.
The film, 2 hours could be an hour long. Unneeded scenes stretched, included.. The script - basic to average would be a compliment.
Characters - some acceptable performances, some border line good Sadly the flow and script - more annoying than entertaining, for me.

I do not know why so many gave this a ten, It's an interesting movie about an out of work actor who has a conscience about using foul language in his lines, who inadvertently gets a bag of cash from his neighbor who is murdered shortly thereafter. It is very odd how this guy is able to navigate his way around these criminals who are after the cash and it is not explained how they can track him so well. The criminals seem a bit over the top and no one seems to be around to witness them bumbling about rather violently. Lots of holes and just strange plot altogether, some humor and interesting twists, but found it a bit wanting. I gave it an 7 because it was creative and fun to watch especially the showdown at the end. Nothing questionable, no nudity and some foul language, violence is light. Enjoy!
