The Big Fat Stone

So I have watched Big Fat Stone a few days ago. Did I love that movie? Well… I must admit that I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, the film was thrilling, dramatic and comic, and if you are looking for pure entertainment then that movie would probably meet your expectations. But on the other hand I was disappointed from the low level of the production.

Although I don't expect much from independent films, this time I hoped for more. Maybe this is because I have watched Real Gangsters only about a month ago and I loved that movie so much that I hoped D'Angelo will have more budget this time…

But the movie itself was good - The cast are amazing and the story is beautiful and yet something was missing

I just finished watching Big fat stone after reading some of the reviews here. Like many of you, I also didn't know what to expect due to the mixed opinions… and like many of you I liked that movie BUT at the same time I can't rate it more than a 6…

Why? Let's start with the good things - The cinematography was good. The acting is superb and even minor roles are detailed and convincing.

However, I found the plot as a bit of a mess. You don't really understand what is the connections between the two stories and it seems like a lot of information is missing.

Other than that the movie was good, but script is a big component in my opinion...

Finally got to watch it. I have watched it yesterday on Bell TV and pretty liked it, having said that… I can understand some of the negative results it got. The movie is well shot, visually enticing with good acting. I love those guys - Robert Loggia, Steven Ray Abruzzo, Nick Mancuso, Tony Nardi and all the others… Frank D'Angelo was also particularly good in his role. Yet, you could feel that this movie is a low budget movie. It seems like they made so many small mistakes such as continuity issues and others. For those of you who are looking for "nothing but a pure entertainment" this one is definitely the one as it has all you need for a nice evening with your date/spouse. You will enjoy the plot and not even for a moment you will be bored, but for those of you who are looking for perfection, well… I don't think this one is for you.

Big Fat Stone is well-written and beautifully shot. When one considers how this movie was made and for what it was made, I am all the more impressed. The acting is well-done, even down to the bit characters. I was particularly impressed with Frank D'Angelo since that was the first time I saw him as an actor.

I liked the movie Big Fat Stone, but I think the plot was too emotional. In some of the scenes it felt like telenovela. I know that this is a drama, and therefore it has too bee too emotional, but I think it was way too much. Other than that, I enjoyed the movie and I recommend you to watch it if you have the chance.

I watched the movie BIG Fat Stone lately, and it wasn't bad at all. I have read some of the reviews here and didn't know what to expect (due to the mixed opinions) and luckily it wasn't a waste of time at all.

I enjoyed the plot very much. I think the actors played very well. Especially I enjoyed the gangsters 'scenes. The chemistry of the cast is fantastic and made me laugh a lot.

The only thing that had upset me was the ending. I hate these kinds of ending. I won't be a spoiler, so I can't tell you why… but I was very disappointed.

Overall - this is a good movie and most of the reviewers love the ending... I do recommend you to watch it
