Wonderful character development!

An Exercise In Nonsense

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The acting in this movie is really good.

A 30-something couple (Jason Mewes and Samantha Lockwood) unintentionally become involved in a botched jewel heist while shopping for wedding rings...I do not want to spend too much time trying to critique this movie. Despite having some decent actors in here and a somewhat interesting, somewhat humorous, story... all I can say is, what the heck? This was sort of like a hot mess. Your best characters are the Smith Brothers, whereas your worst character is Nate (Mewes). And, of course, they make Nate the main character.I love Jason Mewes, and I love to see him in a role outside of the stoner sidekick box. But something was wrong here. Either he cannot act (possible, but not necessarily true) or nobody gave a hoot while making this film and did not even try for passing-grade performances (more likely true). Not fun, not good.

I'll admit when I decided to watch this film with a friend of mine it was due to seeing Jason Mewes in the lead, as I am a big fan of the films he has done with Kevin Smith and I find him highly entertaining. That was what made me sit down to watch the film, but what kept me watching was this cool story with writing and characters that made me laugh and I felt like I was on for the ride with them as the movie progressed. I felt a connection and sympathy for Jason's character, as it was unlike any I have seen him in before and he was just a different person than I had seen him in any film. It was one of those films where you know who the good people are and how they don't always finish first, but in this film they stood up for themselves and stopped just taking the abuse of those that often win. It is a film I will watch again with friends and whenever I need a laugh or just want to feel good about life. I applaud the actors in the film and the writer as it is a true gem and that is always something wonderful. If you have not seen it, do something good for yourself and see this film.

Sesma is onto something with his tale of Nate, Kate, the Smith Brothers, Crazy Joe, Franklin, Grant, and a band of misfits raising havoc in what appears to be the middle of nowhere.With over-the-top action sequences and adult-like crude humor of some savory and not-so-savory folks alike, Shoot the Hero is a fun, wham-bam- thank-you-ma'am, edge-of-your-seat ride that will easily become an instant cult-classic with a cerebral bent.Overall, each of the main characters are rather interesting, with each of their stories told at a grippingly fast pace, reminding moviegoers of a similar gangster-crime saga of a cult classic in El Mariachi.

OK... where to start. The cinematography in this thing makes Blair Witch seem like a Steady-Cam epiphany. Did the director think he was clever waving the cameras in the air like a nut or was it to hide the incredibly bad acting.... They used one actor that I've seen before but his part was the shortest. Not that veterans are required but it may have helped this thing. The plot and sub plot are beyond implausible at best. I wish I could get my time back, I feel cheated. My daughter made a film as a second year PSU Film School that was leaps and bounds over this thing! I've often wondered where funding for such a terrible piece of work comes from.
