    Rollercoaster of emotions, seriously underrated

    I think this is the first film I've reviewed, but after all the bad reviews left I felt the need lol. The actors and the story line go so well together, it all combines to make a believable movie or at least the feel of "real". It doesn't show a lot of unnecessary gore, which is relieving, It makes the watcher think, something most movies don't do, and perhaps the bar ratings? It has its down points as most low budget movies do but I recommend a watch through of it.

    These hardened detectives are neither hardened nor detectives

    This movie is brutal. Why don't these guys do some investigative work instead of driving around the city waxing philosophical? Move the plot along, pull the camera back, and maybe find a setting other than the front seat of s car for huge swaths of your movie.

    a bunch of halfheadded detectives

    This was some of the most boring crime movies ever seen. its a serial killer that does such gruesome takes on his victims that the director wont show us. that is like the norwegian filmcensorship in the early 80's. also the camera angles are terrible most of the time, with the top of the detectives heads cut of, and this goes on wether its in a restaurant or in the car or at the murder scene.

    there are just one thing to say, this is for the stupid to see and stay away from it if you can. this is the work of a nonimaginative director and photographer.. its a 2 at best the grumpy old man thinks,cause it stinks.

    True to That!!!

    This will be my very first movie review that I have ever taking the time to write... From the very first opening line this film had me on the edge of my seat with my eyes and ears wide open until the very end... As deeply disturbing what this film was about the ending was absolutely beautiful... Congratulations to all of you!

    Where Birds Don't Fly: Potential squandered

    Where Birds Don't Fly has a fantastic opening, beautifully scored and well written. I immediatly thought this ultra low budget crime film would be good based on this, I was sorely mistaken.

    It tells the generic story of the police after a brutal serial killer, sadly it tells a very very boring story.

    Within 10-15 minutes of that fantastic opening sequence it becomes apparent that the film isn't going to retain the same level of quality. Considering it was made for a budget of 5k it looks adequate but the writing doesn't make for very engrossing viewing.

    Bizzarely tame considering the severity of the killers actions and frustratingly boring this is one crime thriller that isn't all that thrilling.

    The Good:

    Some good writing

    Well scored

    Fantastic opening scene

    Love the title

    The Bad:

    Gets real boring real fast

    Seen it all a thousand times

    Far tamer than it should have been

    Things I Learnt From This Movie:

    When a person doesn't want to actually make any sort of effort they'll just pray

    The Auschwitz story regarding this birds is fiction
