Chasing the Green is "Wall Street" for "Main Street". It is a very well acted, told and directed story of 2 brothers who start with high school educations and a good dose of greed and ambition and succeed in building a very successful business enterprise only to collide with the might and power of a petty government bureaucrat. In light of our current economic situation it is a great primer on the the excesses of the individual and the government and the impact of that conflict on the players and by-standers . Good acting and good direction make for an entertaining movie experience. This is Russ Emanuel's second feature, after P.J., and showcases his growth as a director.

I liked this movie. The film's story is somewhat obscure for the average viewing public but Russ and Emile deserve great credit for bring the story to life in an admirable first movie. The story line is well developed and I felt the actors did a good job of developing the obscure storyline into an understandable and entertaining short. The real charm of this project is the quality of the directing and cinematography. The shots are done professionally and the editing gave a good pace to the project. The movie is superbly complemented by an outstanding musical score by Neil Argo and an excellent performance by the the musicians. I look forward to the next project by Russ.
