It's Difficult NOT To Enjoy This Movie
good back-story, and good acting
A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreNever in my life have I seen a movie that presents a cast of no names that I have never seen before or since the film.It was shot close to a very indie style that is similar to a film school assignment but even this I feel is not fair.I must say that despite the seemingly trivial dialog between the characters that unfortunately makes it seem to be a Pulp Fiction rip off, I must say that the story line is one of the most original ones that I've been entertained with in a long time! And concerning the characters and their interactions (dialog), although it may be consistent with monotony, I find that the imperfection and chaos of it all closely represents reality than a flawless script executed.It's basic, violent, cheap and mysterious but in the end, it compensates the curiosity well.So I say if you enjoy obscure indie films concerning the everyday wheel and deal of blue collar scrubs trying to make it in some less than fortunate shady business, I say check it out.
View MoreCheck this one out if you like corny, campy action movies. I'm not ashamed to say that I do, and enjoyed it. The acting is wooden, but come on, the movie had a miniscule budget. The story is pretty good, and the dialogue is (unintentionally?) hilarious.
View MoreIf you begin to watch this movie knowing that it's a extremely low-budget independent with non-actors, you'll be quite surprised. It has a better story-line, acting and editing than many of the multi-million dollar Hollywood productions that are foisted on us.BGBO is definitely an edgy, sarcastic, dark comedy. It isn't meant to be true-to-life or a Hitchcock thriller with every loose end tied up and fraught with subtleties and nuances.Accept it for what it is -- I loved it and never saw the plot twist towards the end coming (the reason for the GTO). Gave it a 9 out of 10.If only the networks could come up with movies-of-the-week as original as this instead of the endless retreads with former models and sitcom stars.
View MoreI can't believe so many people are calling this a "great" movie, and I really have to suspect that someone paid the reviewer quoted on the box to say that this was "better than The Usual Suspects" (it isn't). Yes, it was made for less than eight thousand bucks, and it shows. Folks, it's a BAD movie! The characters are terrible, the acting is terrible, the story, far from being quick, is a bore. Some people will praise anything independent and low budget just for being that, but not me. Independent or studio, it still has to be good, and this isn't. Yes, I'll give Carnahan all the credit in the world for taking a cheap, awful flick and getting enough juice behind it to market the thing to where it is today, but that's all. This did not belong on the video store shelf, nor did it belong on a channel that viewers have to pay for. It's marketed as a regular film; it should carry a warning that notes what it really is: something just below "demo tape for rejected artist". Do not waste your time.
