just watch it!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Originally, the only reason I selected it was because I am from the Buffalo area and love everything Buffalo-Niagara. Any time I get to see home is always great. The locations are used for no real specific purpose that I can understand. Why would anyone jump off the Lockport Erie Canal locks? The actors are fun in a film noir kind of way. There is no real fluidity for their entrance or exit. The plot is mediocre with hollow dialogue. It builds to almost nothing and then ends. No real noir climax. I really enjoy the noir cheese and would definitely recommend for a displaced WNYer looking to see home. Otherwise, I'd have never stopped to watch this.

I am from Buffalo, New York, and knew about the film from Buffalo social media pages, so when I heard about a local screening I jumped at the chance to see the movie on a big screen. It was time well spent!!The film is very well shot. Lighting, sound (especially some scenes near Niagara Falls rushing water where, as a film maker myself, I was blown away they were able to get clean dialog), editing, coloring - all the technical things you take for granted on multi-million dollar features (cause they have huge talented crews) and are easily sub-par in many many indie features, are all well done in this film, leaving you to simply enjoy the story and (for a local boy) the scenery.Niagara Falls itself is written in as a character and it all makes sense. There are a few "huh?" moments but it's classic film noir and that is to be expected. If you are a fan of the classic film noir genre, you will love this film.I went in half expecting the lead actors from Buffalo to be just okay, but they held their own with the big names and the acting from the the former to the later is seamless, nobody outshines anyone else in the movie. I was very pleased with Greg's performance and knowing that he produced and starred, I can absolutely appreciate what an amazing accomplishment that is. If you have never either had a lead role in or produced a film, that gravity of that last comment will be less than for actors and producers but trust me the workload IS doubled and one job on a film set is enough to drive you up a wall.I was interested in the story from start to finish and would definitely recommend other indie film lovers give this one a watch!!

I had an amazing time watching this noir film at a film festival in my city. They don't make movie's like this one anymore. I liked everything in it: the plot is slightly complicated, but compelling; the characters are portrayed beautifully, by both some recognizable actors and the unknown ones; there is a Tesla angle in the story which makes me even more like the movie because I am a Serbian :) (Tesla was a Serbian too BTW); the movie leaves it up to the audience to fill in the gaps, so I guess that is the reason why some people won't like it as much as I did. I highly recommend the movie to all the detective/mystery genre fans, give it a chance, you won't be disappointed!

"That's a gene pool screamin' for chlorine." That is just one of many one liners I enjoyed in this film. And I have to like a middle aged balding guy who writes a film about the designs of Nicola Tesla and places it in his hometown of Buffalo. And he plays the lead - a churlish hardboiled detective (slightly Bruce Willis inspired). Good for you Greg Stuhr! His character reminds me of Bosch - if you have seen that Series.Buffalo and Niagara Falls make interesting locations. There are a lot of great shots of the Falls. There are four decent female roles which I like. Plus some major talent with Matthew Broderick and a few old stars like Robert Vaughn and Robert Forster, who has 177 credits to his name. Both cinematography and the sound track are excellent. It is slightly too long. The plot is a somewhat convoluted but I don't care. I like this movie and I like the aspiration of making such a film on a small budget. And would love to see Greg Stuhr playing a detective on one of the cable or network cop shows.
