    If gritty melodramas are your thing, this one's for you!

    The creators of "Bet on Ben" are clearly Tarantino fans, and for a lower budgeted entry, that's a very good thing. As I watched, I was reminded of many of the compelling crime dramas I've seen in the past, with a number of titles that sprang to mind. If you loved "To Live and Die in L. A.", "Donnie Branco" and other genre favorites, you'll probably dig this one.

    The road to hell

    This is a very raw and real movie that hits you right in the gut. Hard hitting, visceral. As I watched it, I kept thinking of Al Pacino in The Godfather III, when he says, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" This movie pulled me in all the way. A tough sensibility and very indie. If you like Hallmark Channel reality, this is probably not for you.

    Fast paced and shocking crime drama

    This movie has a hard hitting, very real feel and is filled with desperate characters while the body count keeps piling up. Director Nick Felice kept the story moving in a breathless pace and I found the story engaging. "Bet on Ben" has very raw sensibilities reminiscent of "Pulp Fiction" which I loved

    Robert Laenen shines as the lead actor Ben. As an actor who also has a stuntman background, he keeps the movie grounded and his character believable and relatable. Martez Moore and Carter Burch have great chemistry as they try to one up the other, and made memorable bad guys like a bickering odd couple.

    The plot twists are surprising and the climatic ending is a doozie. I would recommend this movie to fans of the gritty and raw crime drama genre.
