Messy guys buying off old debts to collect on them and a woman that gets trapped in the middle. The head collector falls for her, and things should get interesting....but they don't.
...because of the twenty-five 8, 9 and 10/10's out of the current 32 reviews! .... said no one. Ever. Smh. Lmao.
Shows how little faith the filmmakers have in their own film to post so many clearly b.s. Reviews.
The premise of the story was certainly original and very interesting, and considering this is newb writer and producer Todd M. Friedman's first dabble in the industry, he did ok. It'd been better had a seasoned filmmaker tweaked the screenplay, especially the convoluted and rushed ending.
Director Marianna Palka did a fairly decent job for a newb, but many scenes felt too long/unnecessary and needed editing, and the cinematography could've been much better. The score and soundtrack were actually very good, especially for a B-grade film.
I felt the leads performed well, and were convincing in their roles, except for Jacques Colimon, who didn't look or play the part convincingly enough.
It's a shame this low budget B film missed the mark, a few tweaks here and there would've made this one great. I would've given this a 6/10, but it's getting a very generous 5 for the sloppy ending and the attempts to fool potential viewers with the ridiculously obvious b.s. High reviews.

The hangman in popularity according to north american research comes the dept collectors, and the financial system that breaks way for that kind of bountyhunting in our socalled civilized world. And dept collecting is exactly the topic to the film ''collection''.
I might as well throw the cloak away and just say that this film is terrible filmcraftmanship to say the least, the musical score gives some ressurection to the final result, the rest is just a great idea, ravaged by how not to write a screenplay, script and editing it all together ,are very amateuriscticly done. The small cast of hudlums maybe actors but they could at least pretend to be next time.
All in all if you hate the race of man that loves to torpedoe your life forever, and want a bit of himalayan salt tasty lovestory, be my guest, i shall not give it a second shot, therefore a no recommend from the grumpy old man.

From 3rd party collection agencies? NO! Congress enacted the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a 1977 law that prohibits third-party collection agencies from "harassing, threatening and inappropriately contacting someone who owes money". And if you are getting these robocalls - hang up and block the call like I did and they can't force you to pay. That doesn't mean it won't clear your negative credit rating nor your debt; and i'm not encouraging a 'dodge' but arrange an afordable payment schedule from the original creditor, NOT the collection agency who gets a fee!
As for the film: It's strictly fictionalized entertainment nothing more.

A fun movie to have a few drinks and sit with. There's a lot of overracting in places plenty of cheesy and corny dramatic sequences.
Overall this had a bit of a 'White Bollywood' feel, like the characters were about to break into song and dance at any moment.
This is pushed into greater than 5/10 territory for me as it's a solid bit of fun, don't expect anything great though and leave half your brain cells at the door, better yet pickle them with some high strength liquor.
