Highly Overrated But Still Good

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Did you people see the same film I saw?

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film takes place in 1969. Two mediocre deputies who are not quite dumb and dumber are terminated from their employment for a lack of crime in their community. When prisoner 614 escapes from the Adirondack prison facility, they get the ideal if they apprehend the prisoner, they will get their job back. Ron Perlman plays the hard nosed sheriff who fired the deputies. The film is a quirky light comedy. The deputies are inept and the sheriff is a stereotypical right winger. Note everyone smokes. I liked the old Lucky Strike pack. Guide: no sex or nudity. Don't recall any F-words.

Two inept deputies go after an escaped convict in the adirondacks. the movie is going for dark humor. it doesn't really work, but I have seen a lot worse movies. the very low rating is not really deserved.

I thought this movie was beautifully shot showing off the gorgeous Hudson Valley region with beautiful landscape shots and even shots that look like they were captured with a drone. I really appreciated how every scene was so beautiful. I also loved the music. Prisoner 614 is funny but not in a hahah kind of way, more subtle funny. Reminded me of a Coen brothers film. Overall, a great message and very timely movie. The actors were also perfectly casted. I loved Ron Perlman and Martin Starr, the prisoner was an excellent actor as well. For the Director's first film, i thought it was pretty darn good. Especially considering it was shot in 2 weeks on a $600K budge
