Lost Fare

It was definitely a weird movie! The fantasy aspect didn't quite fit with the off the charts obscenities and sexual situations. The acting wasn't bad. It's not gonna win an Oscar, but it was interesting! It didn't feel like it was a waste of time like some movies I try watching to bore me to sleep. It actually kept me engaged which originally wasn't my intention when I streamed it because it turned out not to be a cure for my insomnia. It dragged a little bit but all in all, it kept going. That it was inspired by a true story was cool. How much was accurate is anyone's guess. I gave it 7 stars simply because it surprised me and didn't suck!

I dislike hating on kids but some can act and some can't, and they picked the ones who can't for this movie. The adults are just as bad. I watched about 30 minutes and called it quits. It's so painful, and not because of the subject matter.

It's a good storyline, allegedly based on a true story. But a weak script, bad acting and weak directing drag this way down.

It is watchable but due to the stiffness of the acting it is painful at times. They are not helped at all by the simplistic, spoon-feeding script that tells you verbatim everything they want to convey to you rather than letting you figure it out from the story.

Casting very attractive women as street level hookers may have made it pleasant on the eyes but it dealt a serious blow to the realism of the story. Which, basically, is indicative of the whole presentation and sums up the movie.

So i seen this with a 4.8 rating and almost past it up.. But indie films can be passed up because we all look for big names big plots big explosions and so on.. But i will say glad i watched ,full of cliches and average to a few great moments of acting the story is powerful and the script was decently written..its a nice break from the everyday blockbusters they shove down our throat ... Dont pass this one up.. You will enjoy

Part autobiography, part morality tale, this coming of age "life as a pre - teen prostitute" story has all the familiar elements audiences have come to expect from similar films.

For example...

A down on his luck loner takes an at risk youth under his wing on a quest to seek redemption in a from their penury existence in a world filled with hatred, murder and revenge.

As they embark on their journey, the question ultimately arises as to "who is saving who?"

That is where the comparisons end.

There are many story components to the film that have promise, unfortunately the lack of verisimilitude in the world created, coupled with underwhelming cinematic craftsmanship undermines a competant cast who labor under the burden of one dimensional characters unjustly enslaved by stagnant and well worn expositional dialogue.

The film's saving grace is the interaction between actors Alexis Rossinsky and Aaron Hendry who manages to forge a believable performances out of some challenging material dealing with difficult subject matters.
