There was enough suspense to keep my boyfriend intrigued and he enjoyed it enough to say, "That was pretty good. Mike Taylor kicked some serious butt there at the end. I didn't see that coming!" I would highly recommend this film to men and women alike. This is a good date movie, enough for the guys (fighting scene and "Playpen" dancers on set) and the girls (drama, drama, drama) to both keep interested right through to the end.
I was invited to a premier showing of this film back in October and honestly had no expectations for good or bad. Well that's not true. When watching locally shot features in Dallas you always expect them to be a little bad, but bearable. This film however exceeded all my expectations.
You could tell right from the get go that there had been some serious thought put into all aspects of the movie. It was very well shot with good cinematography that was only distracting a few times throughout the whole feature. The acting was really very good and overall the story was compelling and held my interest for the entirety of the film. I thought that the guy playing Mike Taylor really fit the part of a torchered soul. Steve McGill was also a really great character played by a great actor. I hope that he is in more movies as I was really interested in everything that he did with his character. I also loved the fight scene at the end. It was was very realistic and completely anti-Hollywood. It actually looked like a real fight! I hate it when they show guys getting the crap beat out of them and they seem to never get hurt. This fight scene is great.
Oh, when I first got to the theater I thought that this was going to be a "Jesus" film and that the film makers were going to try to save my soul. However when I saw the rating I decided it wasn't. It's not a religious movie but it will make you stop and think about decisions you've made.
Dallas hasn't had a decent film made locally in years. Between Heven and Hell is an exception to the rule! I hope that the guys who made this continue to make movies in Dallas!
The acting was superb, and the casting even better. All the actors playing their parts were well-fitted and believable. There is enough drama and action to keep your attention through out the movie without being heavy-handed. I must admit there are a few parts in the film that I have 'cough' in a napkin to wipe away some moisture that had formed in my eyes from identifying with the characters.
Dr Faulkner's portrayal is very believable and well-acted. Of course his resemblance to Hugh Jackman only served to strengthen his character. All in all, I would recommend seeing this film and hope he make another one.
This is a highly inspirational film and can serve as such to those who sometimes have doubts about the choices they make in life.
Continued success in all of your film-making endeavors.
