Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie is terrible except the first scene when the small boat carrying the deadbeat detective to where the corpse dumped. After that, just a dreary, dragged pathetic process without any interesting thing worth your time and brain to hang on tight. It's like the script writer(s) didn't know how to move the story forward, didn't have anything worth saying. So what we got is a detective with broken heart, relied on drugs and drinking to kill his depression. A cop drinking on the job? This is a slow motion movie got nothing to tell but had to use one dollar to expand the nothingness. I have to give up this pathetic movie after wasted 25 minutes, man.

Harry (John Freeman) sometimes called Larry, sometimes called Eric, is an investigator. There has been a series of murders in the Black Bayou among which was his wife. Harry has a number of issues which include his love of drinking, drugs, and prostitutes. He is under federal investigation. His nephew gives him a marked "lucky" one dollar bill, which Harry immediately spends. The film follows the travels of the dollar bill to connect the story. Harry was a pathetic protagonist. The film was dreary and lacked memorable dialogue or scenes. Guide: F-word, sex, nudity

Loved the filming, the story and the characters. You'll never guess it's a first low budget movie. Well done

Very solid independent film exploring the gritty behaviors of Louisiana characters. Some people are only use to one way drama stories which is why they don't give this a chance. 1 Buck attempts to put you in the character's position without doing too much in the same vein as what some people would do in real life behind closed doors. It's a little dose of reality which some people can't handle at times. Lead character Harry played by John Freeman establishes the character behavior very well. Also, strong gripping highlights from actress Katie Ryan as Amara and a wonderfully fierce performance by Will Green as Jordan in addition to the other excellent ensemble completes director Fabien Dufils intense visual efforts. Definitely recommend for open minded audiences.
