25 minutes into the movie and barely anyone talk, the whole thing is so slow that my eyes started to close!
Maybe the movie getting better further on or not but its not my kind of chocolate thats for sure.

It took me three tries to watch this movie, it was very boring and took almost 30 mins to get to something that was worth listening to. And the quality is almost low budget.
This is a slooooow burning film. It's so slow that I'd remove the word "burn" and replace it with "kinda glows then fizzles and dies."
Ash & Dust struck me as a first film (i.e., debut feature length for director) and it wasn't marketed aggressively so I am giving it some slack. There are some promising elements, but they never coalesce into a holistic entity.
Acting is pretty good for the most part, but a few actors are not meant for that career and I won't name names.
Finally, in case anyone is wondering why there are some 8- 9- and 10-star reviews, simply click on those reviewers' user names and you'll see that if they aren't one-review accounts, they've all reviewed the exact same movies including "Hyde", "Angie: Lost Girls", and "Devil Djinn" on almost identical dates. IMDB needs to start charging money for the ability to post reviews or do what Yelp! Does and actually police the fake ones. This is the main reason the site is useless for deciding whether to watch indie flicks these days.
If I had the chance again, Ash & Dust would get a hard pass from me.
3/10 for story plus 1/10 for decent cinematography = 4/10, just barely watchable.

Must be the film makers friends/families.
One of the dumbest movies I have seen, and I'm pretty tolerant.
Around 3 words said during the entire movie.
People walking around making faces, grunting.
Lady cop (Millie Idol) I don't believe says 1-word the entire time.
Just horrible really...

Ash & Dust takes the murder revenge story and paints it in three primary colors: white for the absence of hope, black for the finality of death, and red for the bloody consequences of fury. There are no zippy comic relief one liners, no superhuman feats of courage or strength, no Hail Mary miraculous escapes, no perfunctory child in distress, no super villain to outsmart, and no hope in hell for salvation. Made even more melancholoc by a perfectly scored soundtrack, Ash & Dust accomplishes something rarely seen in today's eggshell sidestepping movies, a fierce and unapologetic depiction of death.
