TrueHello

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I have this film for a while, but I've never seen it until today. I haven't known much about it, I just picked it because of Christian Kane, 'cause I adore that man since I've fell in love with twin shows Angel and Buffy. I love his looks, his voice, his act - he's the real deal. So I thought it will worth a shot. And today I wanted to watch something in the evening, and I hadn't got anything I haven't had seen yet besides this one. So I started to watch it, and while it started, I'd dropped by to IMDb to see what other people think about it. After some really low points and really bad reviews I almost dropped it, but after ten minutes it got my attention right away. The only reason I'm not mad because of the bad opinions that almost got me not to watch it is that this way I had a feeling all the way through the film that there will be a lame ending. And this way I wasn't so disappointed when it turned out that I was right. I don't want to spoil anybody's experience with the film, so I won't write anything about why it was bad. That's not the point anyway. The point is that Keep your distance could be a very good film if it had an another ending. It has an interesting story, for starters. It's not the most original one in the history of movies, but a quite good one. There was good directing, very good actors who played very colorful, vivid characters, not commonplace, black-and-white, boring persons like in most of the Hollywood films, and there was a well-adjusted tension in the film. And then, int the end, in about 5 minutes, they ruined it all with a petty, cheesy closing. I got the feeling like the makers had got bored in the end or had ran out of time, and they had just thrown the first thing they got in mind to the end of the film. So yes, it's not a good film, but in my opinion it's just because of the ending. Whitout the last 5 minutes I would've given 7-8/10 to it. But this way it's not more than 5. Anyway, it was worth to be seen, and I kinda liked it even this way, but it could've been so much better. (And and least Christian Kane had some pleasant singing-scenes, and one always should appreciate him singing...)

takes you nowhere! There were enough plot elements to keep me watching, but nothing happens in this movie. Keach and Pena have cameos and that's it. Coulda used anybody for either role and it would not have detracted from this film so don't watch this movie to see either one of these two show their considerable talents.The 'bad guy' is not even really bad. I mean there's a jilted lover and a disgruntled employee - two characters that had the potential for some cool action/revenge and they both go out with a wimper! There's a great storm, in a house, in an isolated location and NOTHING HAPPENS! Obviously, Pollard had a decent budget for this film because it's well done but it just rather pointless.

You know, I watched this movie based on other user comments on here.. I can't believe they were written by real people. How can a movie have only 118 votes, and already around 50 (very very very positive) user comments? To sum the movie up: Celebrity radio presenter finds out through a mysterious note that his wife is cheating on him with a woman. He randomly meets another woman, they talk about who's sending the notes. And nothing at all happens from this point on. This movie is just plain bad. It's supposed to be a thriller, but nothing really happens. The characters don't have any character. There are around 10 stories happening at the same time, but are all of the same low quality. I can't believe I sat through this thing. Don't watch it, and don't believe all the comments you read on IMDb.

Stu Pollard has penned and directed an engaging film that holds your attention throughout. The casting and performances break out of the Hollywood stereotypes and add to the mystery of the film. Keep Your Distance is not shy about revealing the faults of each character and using the same to propel the plot!! Kudos to all involved!! I truly enjoyed the use of the Kentucky landscape as well as the opportunity to glimpse Kentucky society through the film. Future filmmakers would be advised to investigate non-traditional locals as a way of saving and raising money in addition to allowing a greater diversity to be found in the cinema!!
