Get Back Jack! (aka Remarkable Power!) starring Evan Peters, Kevin Nealon and Tom Arnold. This film was an official selection at over 40 international film festivals winning several awards, including: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Feature. Lots of great memorable songs. I ENJOYED this film not only for the camera work but for the acting and the outstanding direction. It was great to see these well known stars in a small indie film. More films like this should be given a chance to shine despite the trolls which always seem to attack small films. Well worth the watch. I loved it!
Quirky characters in eccentric intertwining story lines that delivers a near Elmore Leonard- ish type of flick (Get Shorty, Out of Sight, etc.). A pothead, a photographer, a P.I., a talk show host, an actor, a model, a porn star, a Jewish gangster, and the Russian Mob all seek one thing... Money. Top notch acting from notable talent and brand new faces that are sure to appear in future films. The directing and cinematography was the film's only lackluster quality, but for novice filmmaker's, a great first step into feature films. I highly recommend this movie. Evan Peters is a stroke of genius, and occasionally, strokes a genius. Be on the look out for future performances from this kid.
A lot of notable performers took part in this black comedy, and overall I'd say it worked. I especially liked Tom Arnold's character. For the most part the story moved along nicely and there were a couple of surprises. Not a big budget production, but it didn't pretend to be. I loved that the movie ended with a song by Public Image Limited, and I enjoyed the film.
Get Back Jack is a dark comedy on an epic scale. Set in Los Angeles, it makes use of many different locations and neighborhoods throughout the city. The story unfolds in a way you don't expect, centered on a late night talk show host (a great performance by Kevin Nealon), then expanding to many different characters in a complicated plot. I liked the structure of the chronology. And there were some very unique moments, such as the scene in the batting cage. Overall I thought the script and the editing were excellent. The directing was good and the acting was solid by the whole cast. If you're looking for an epic dark comedy, check this movie out!
I was really surprised how good this movie was when I watched it on Amazon. For a couple bucks it was well worth it. Not sure why some of the reviews are hating so much. It was funny! Had good actors and the plot was really cool. I was not expecting an oscar winner and it really surprised me. Great movie.

- TriviaWhen Brandon Beckner came to Jerod Foos with some of the soundtrack suggestions, Foos decided to contribute a number of pieces of music on his own since he was also an experienced musician as well as business entrepreneur.
- GoofsIn the original screenplay an earthquake is supposed to occur at one point. This was taken out of the final movie edit. One of the scenes shows the actors trying to keep their balance to show that an earthquake was occurring. The scene was kept in the final version.
- Alternate versionsThe initial film was nearly 2 plus hours long. The editing was key to hone it down to 90 minutes! All of the people at CAA and some of our distribution partners all needed it to get shorter. That was a fantastic lesson in negotiation within our internal team!-Jerod Foos, Executive Producer.
