3 Days Gone

....... I cannot decide!

First let me state that the characterizations by each actor is top notch! Their look, their speech, their moves are all believable and well done. Second there are some really evil & mean characters (cowboy jack & teddy shark) - i mean heartless evil.

But there are too many characters to keep straight in your mind as the story unfolds. Plus the plot line seems to jump around too much. The lead character 'Lucas' comes across as a bit of superhuman as he is constantly on the move and it seemed implausible to me that the two crime bosses could not find him.

Then the ending left me confused as too just how did the friend get the money. That isn't made clear. This movie (as stated by another reviewer here) must be seen twice maybe thrice for me!

I recommend this movie because it is just too interesting and mysterious not to watch. Sorry about the only 7 stars but that is how i feel about this flick!

The film was something that I did not expect as I was just trying to relax with something new. The writing was better than most films today in that I did not figure it out. There were many twists and turns in this film but the Directing was what made the film an 8 out of 10. The camera work was really good and only a few lemons as actors throughout the entire flick. It made me think of TRAFFIC and the seedy and dark world that pulls you in and drags you down to it's level. At the same time, the film had many characters that were exactly where they needed to be so that it seemed like you were on the screen with them. Michelle was better in this than anything that I have ever seen her do. This should be a breakout role for Patrick Adams in that he is soooooo good in this film. The reason to watch this film can be summed up in two words: COWBOY JACK! This is a fact and this film is worth buying for Charles Wesley's performance in this film. Being conservative and with a bit of humility: " I want to dance for him at his bar TONIGHT!"

Simple words and phrases are how I describe this film. No Fat and Crap that is what today's theaters are full of so much. The best and worst of the film are clearly seen throughout. The thing that the film lacked was a Director. Looked him up and found that he was not up for this script. With an average Director, this could have been at the theaters. Now the good stuff: : The camera work, lighting, angles were good and it has a dark flavor that fits the film. : The Lukas character was someone that grew on you as the story goes along. The big thug killer was good and as advertised. The guy looked big and mean. : The Make-up was a little better than good and it was like a real experience

The Really good stuff: : The girlfriends and side kicks of the main characters were really good. The cops had ups and downs with scenes but if you buy the concept then : The medical guy was really good and almost a comic relief. : Locations were nice in that you moved into each location with ease and you were interested in each one of them.

The Great stuff: : Almost all of the leads were great in their roles. : The script was great and could actually have a sequel. ( I would like to see one ) : Music was great and fit the show in a great way. Unheard of artists and the title song was cool.

The Best stuff:

: Cowboy Jack ( If you have not seen the film, see it for this guy )

All in all

Creative Fun Exciting New Fresh Different

Wow! In a word it was really a WoW kind of film! It is one of those kinds of films that you think that you can figure it out but you can't. The film takes turns and twists that you never expect and that keeps you glued to the story. I like the Cowboy Jack character and I want to see him again. ( maybe at my house ) This is a must see if you like action and mystery without all the BS special effects. A really exciting drama/mystery/suspense film that I will also buy. The cast was really strong and I loved the locations. This is a film that makes you wonder why the studio system cannot put films like this on the big screen. It takes good writing like 3 Days Gone to give the over budget Studio Crap films that special kick in the pants that will allow them to do better. The film 3 Days Gone should be seen by everyone that likes good movie making. The writers should be acknowledged as the cutting edge story tellers of today. Bravo!

This movie was good overall despite having a script that could have been better written but it did have some intense scenes. The acting however was mostly average at best but the cinematography and special effects were excellent
