Code 207 (2011)
Great low budget action film, great moments and good actors
I just watched the film with my wife and first we thought it was a sequel to Chained, but it is a completely different film, it threw us a bit but that was OK, it started a little slow but turned into a great little action film, we loved it, especially the play between the two leads, Tiffany and Mac it had a hint of moonlighting very cute. and I loved a few of the pro-wrestlers in the film, Chase Stevens did a great job, I hope its his start into the movies sure it was a film done for very little money, but it had a realness to it, and touched on a few real life issues. I read the producers donate some of the profit to charity, and shot it for nothing on their own in 8 days, and that makes it an amazing film, and when I read some of the critics write about it, it seems strange to me that there are several award winning actors in the film, including an Oscar nominee, and several known stage actors too, so the *bad acting* certainly is not all-round?! might be more of a personal thing or people disappointing it was not a sequel to Chained, all the leads did a great job in our eyes I would love to see these guys get properly funded and then see what they can do well done little action film, a little hint of humor so it doesn't take itself to seriously and I recommend watching it for what it is.
Red Rose of Normandy (2011)
Great War film, amazing detail and hardware
I really enjoyed the film, sure it was not a large studio film but as opposed to studio films where everything is digital, in this film the producers went out of their way to find all the real tanks and planes etc, it gives the film a realness, that its clear that everything is really there. and there were some great shots in the film, like when the American plane went 10 feet over the ground right over the heard of the actors and tanks, it was real and Im amazed they could do it. the story line wan nice, no real holes, and they paid great attention to historic detail, I have read other reviews and it seems to me that they are more a personal attack at the producers then a true audience review and that is a shame, as obviously these guys went out of their way to make the money go a long way and for a low budget independent film they did an amazing job, I have never seen any independent WAR film on low budget get anywhere near this grandness into a film. I mean who finds a Tiger tank and landing crafts just to name a few. I am a former soldier and I loved it, and my friends did too, watch it for what it is and enjoy I say Chris
