    Top Notch

    I thoroughly enjoyed The Deadbeats. While I missed a few references from the beginning it didn't impact my enjoyment . I will watch it again for sure and please note if I watch a movie a second or third time I liked it a lot. Good job to the actors. Very authentic portrayals of the characters.

    I love this movie!!!

    Punk rock pulp fiction? This is a cult classic style movie that reminds me of the good old days of movie watching. It is just plain fun. Not trying to sell you anything or change the way you think, just pure wonderful entertainment. Thank you for this one Travis Mills, loved it.

    I love it

    A very entertaining film. The cast and the director did an incredible job. I couldn't give it anything less than 10 starts.

    A Circus Show you won't forget

    It's not every day that a crazy angry pyschotic clown gets your sympathy, but that is exactly what happens in this film. The lead actor is incredible, showing us all off the bat (pun intended) that there is something a bit off about Patch the clown. Our "side" characters, who play a huge part scenewise and storywise add to this creative world being built, part fantasy part reality...essentially a circus show, with magic tricks and eccentric characters. I was never quite sure what our clown would do next and he does some awful things. Yet, somehow I end up laughing with him and then feeling bad for him...somehow I am rooting for this lunatic. That's another cool part about this movie, all these slimy characters...these deadbeats have something enduring about each of them. This is the blood of the film, but the story is crazy fun, the music perfect, the imagery wacky, all in all, I'd buy a ticket again to see this one.

    Grindhouse Vibes

    This movie was really good, especially for 2019 when not many movies are up to par. It has an immense Grindhouse feel to it, almost Tarantino like. Mr. Patch's actor delivers a great performance along with the "Deadbeats". The ending is of the top ten strangest endings I've ever seen, very abstract. The Deadbeats was a solid movie, go check it out.
