Reversion

It looked like less than $999 was spent on this film. It is set out in the country. Aside from the white hostage, the acting was fine. The scripted dialogue was poor. The sound editing was the worst ever. However, the story wasn't bad, - just not much happens except talking, headaches, listening to the news and walking around a lot. Pretty blah considering he assinated the president.

Script and story is non existent. With a lot of meaningless and repeated dialog. Technically this fails on every level. This product sets a new low for sound design / sound mixing.

If one would cut our every meaningless scene that just serves to pad out time, it would be not even 40 minute long.

Nice tax-write off Christopher Miles.

After watching the preview for Reversion, it was only right that I'd check the film out. The plot is rather simple: a guy is accused of killing the president. It starts off slow but picks up steam 20 minutes into the film. I'll be honest, I've never heard of any of the actors in the film. However I will say this, each person played their roles exceptionally well. I have no doubt in my mind that these individuals will find work in Hollywood moving forward. The action is great. The cinematography is beautiful. The writing could use some work but when you're working on a shoestring budget don't expect to get Charlie Kaufman as a writer. I highly recommend this film. I'm a fan of film that get looked over sometimes but this film should be on everyone's radar going into 2021. Lastly, Isaac Stephen puts on a tour de force. Exceptional is all I will say. I wouldn't go out of my way to watch this movie but if you have absolutely nothing to do one day, I would advise you check this out.

Yes, the entire motive takes place in a desert house that I'm sure they got at a steal of a price. Wooden acting and just terrible script writing and I doubt most people will last much longer than the 5 minutes I did before searching for the remote to skip ahead. But not much else happens.

Hints to director. Please buy a tripod for your next film. Sony HandyCam videos went out in the 80's and I'm sure you can afford a decent one. Please get a soundtrack guy instead of using the same background music over and over and over again in every scene, it's downright annoying. Then maybe read a script before deciding to film something.

An unwatchable train wreck, had to ffwd it just for background noise. What's with the sound, and the disembodied voices from the phone? Really odd, and not entertaining in the least. This deserves less than 1/4 star, but that wasn't an option.
