Excellent, a Must See

Did you people see the same film I saw?

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Yes, I was drawn to this film by the poster. I had not heard of this title and it seemed to keep my interest as I looked at the cover on-line. Personally, I detest hype and the American machine of selling movies from spicy advertisements that hardly live up to their 2 minutes of flash and boom. I am pleased to write this as I have never written a comment other than a reply to blogs in the past. I did read the reviews of this picture and I am very pleased that I chose to watch this film. 3 Days Gone is a modern day story that makes you sit in the back seat of a taxi and suddenly the driver locks all the doors. You are alarmed by this but you try to remain calm as you watch the cab slowly pick up speed. You are approaching 300 K's per hour and the driver opens the door and jumps out leaving you to crash and burn. It felt like sort of an exciting panic watching 3 Days Gone, I found myself talking to the characters in the film out loud. The story is not like other films that I have seen and the camera work is dark and stylistic. Not seeing much direction of the film did not detract from the entire piece but it could have been better. In the reviews of this film, you read about the acting performances as being good but watching the film is the only way to describe the Cowboy. The name Cowboy Jack when you read it is not what had come to my mind. This character seduces you from the moment that he comes to the screen. Being the main reason that I am writing this review is Cowboy Jack and I will search for other films that this actor has been in for this movie alone. I will stop there with Cowboy Jack as I hate to read reviews that spoil a movie so I will highly recommend this film and say that I had a most exhilarating ride with this film 3 Days Gone and I am buying it for friends as a gift this holiday season.

In 2 words Cowboy Jack The film is well written and shot. The film lacks direction. The acting is hit and miss but the ones that hit really crush it. (Charles Wesley, Michelle Stafford, Patrick Adams) It seems that in the world of STUDIO FILMS that one does tend to miss a gem and 3 Days Gone is a gem. Locations were really good and the Production Value is as good as I have seen for this type of genre. Cowboy Jack Take the extra few quid that might fill your pockets and but this film and you will come back to this review and thank me. TRAFFIC and TRUE ROMANCE are the 2 films that come to mind but it seems to be more complex than both of those films. I had to watch it twice in that I figure out the endings usually at the half-way point in almost every film that I watch. Cowboy Jack And in case you are wondering about Cowboy Jack, he seems to find the Umphhh in Cheeky. Gary Oldman has this in TRUE ROMANCE and many other roles. This Charles Wesley probably has to be a STAR that has not shown it's light or he must be Cowboy Jack in person. Regardless, I want one for Christmas!

The film was something that I did not expect as I was just trying to relax with something new. The writing was better than most films today in that I did not figure it out. There were many twists and turns in this film but the Directing was what made the film an 8 out of 10. The camera work was really good and only a few lemons as actors throughout the entire flick. It made me think of TRAFFIC and the seedy and dark world that pulls you in and drags you down to it's level. At the same time, the film had many characters that were exactly where they needed to be so that it seemed like you were on the screen with them. Michelle was better in this than anything that I have ever seen her do. This should be a breakout role for Patrick Adams in that he is soooooo good in this film. The reason to watch this film can be summed up in two words: COWBOY JACK! This is a fact and this film is worth buying for Charles Wesley's performance in this film. Being conservative and with a bit of humility: " I want to dance for him at his bar TONIGHT!"

Saw this movie by chance on Amazon. I had seen the ads for this movie over the weekend and decided to check it out. I was not disappointed. It was a breath of fresh air in the action genre when all you see nowadays are sequels and uninspired movies. Man am I glad to see Charles Wesley back to work as it has been far to long for him to be out of movies. He is quite possible this generation of actors most underrated stars. Anybody that has seen a movie with I'm in it will agree that his acting skill is underrated. Now on to the movie... From the beginning action sequence (which ends in cop-dog convo) to the end when you see the everybody getting away without anybody ever really knowing their true identities, you will be impressed with the direction this movie has taken. I can easily say that this movie is of the same caliber as "All Saints Day" which is at theaters now.
