Moviecut—Big Trouble in Seattle

There was a seat in this movie where a character writes in big letters revenge in a notebook. That is what I myself wish I could do upon these filmmakers that wasted my time. This is something that I would expect to see at a high school assembly made by a bunch of random high school kids. The acting in this film is horrible. The older woman who plays the villain she needs to take acting classes. Like stop what you're doing right now and take any acting classes and if you're not going to do that then just give up. Usually I try to be nice about these things but this film is so awful I cannot do it. The opening is bad, the special effects are bad, the story is bad, the editing is bad. Nobody that touched this movie and I mean nobody it is clear knows how to make a movie or what goes into making a good one. This is the abhorrent waste of time And it would service the director well to strongly consider the time that people put into this film and to learn and know to make a good film next time or don't make anything at all.

Looking at all the amazing ratings and the remarkable knowledge only insiders would know about this film, it is disappointing to see that the IMDB has now become a terrible source for true film ratings. Within the first 5 minutes of this film, it's clear that it's unfortunately an amateurish class project. There are some Indies which have done tremendous work but this one is just poorly constructed in so many ways and would have benefitted from screen testing with an actualudience. The film opens with an awkwardly acted scene where a mother and daughter are discussing someone of whom the daughter is upset about for reasons unknown. As mom leaves the house to get into her car, daughter is reviewing some writing, notices something, and runs to the front of the house to warn mom -- but her car blows up in an awful CGI fashion and immediately we see daughter lying on the ground, practically out cold. I understand budget limitations but this was so poorly constructed as if you're saying "audience, cut us some slack!" A man laughs in the distance and then enters the house in yet another awkward D-movie fashion moment lacking all continuity and suspense, and he's looking for someone in the house. Daughter is hiding and suspense scene of him looking is cut short quickly. Immediate cut to night time where daughter is sitting outside the house after this tragedy - as you'd expect after your mother was blown up in a car several hours earlier, LOL, with a notebook.... huh? On it, she then writes in big letters REVENGE! This is nigh unwatchable and the fake reviews are as annoying. I'll give it an extra star for the effort. I'll give it an extra star for trying to make a film on the low budget but the real problem isn't the money. A courtroom scene in a courtroom has a witness is not only exceedingly dark, but doesn't even use the courtroom properly which anyone watching Law & Order could figure out. The overacting is atrocious. That scene cuts to the next in a restaurant which goes from bright lighting to, again, a very darkly lit scene. I'm not sure how nobody noticed this. I'll describe the last scene 20 minutes in before I had to stop watching. It's supposedly the attorney speaking to a group of... thugs? Huh? Then one of them speaks up and wants to know if any of them should be taking orders from a guy with a "corny cartoon character's name". Who talks like this? The attempts to be funny and clever are so flat. This is a great film to show young directors and producers the value of having an audience review your work and how budget constraints should not be used as an excuse for poorly constructed work that just doesn't convince an audience. Don't try to create a feature film unless you can at least do the simple stuff right.

Congrats to the director, cast and crew! Great job 👍🏿👍🏿

Great story line and well developed characters, along with compelling shots and score with very clever twists and reveals leaves the viewer breathless and wanting a sequel! Well done to all involved! Bravo! Looking forward to the next one!

Simple easy to fallow story line. Great hook at the ending! We want more!

Excellent film with great acting and overall direction. The score really helped the experience! Only real complaint is this film should've been maybe 5 to 10 minutes longer to flush out a bit more.

Indie films usually get a bad rep for poor reasons. For a budget of 25K this is a well made film. It is perfect? No. The special effects are a little cheap but are forgivable with compelling characters and action sequences. This film kept me guessing what was going to happen next. Overall this is an exciting little action indie flick.

What an amazing indie film. The story kept me glued to my TV all the way through. What a fun thrill ride!
