First of all I'm reviewing this from a realistic perspective. By this I mean that you have to compare this movie to other micro-budget movies, such as Clerks, Primer, and El Mariachi; which on a scale of 1 to 10 I personally vote 5, 8, and 6, respectively. So yes, that's right, I think this is better than Kevin Smith or Robert Rodriguez's micro-budget first features.
The beauty of this gem is in the synergistic affect of how well the pieces work together. All the main elements such as the writing, cinematography, acting, music, and editing were all surprisingly well above any bar that should be set for a film of this limited budget. I can't wait to see what this Sweet Baby Jane team and this Joe McReynolds guy can do in the future with a budget.
The movie is a fun road trip with a purpose. Too bad on this road trip your family hunts you down, your memories and regrets drive you to drink, and your new acquaintances along the way suck you into their screwed up murderous entanglements. It seems like a drag or an unwinnable situation, but not for the affable and often times laughable Vern, to him, "It's debatable." It's the bottom on the ninth and the bases as well as The Vern are loaded so get your peanuts and Cracker Jacks or as I prefer another La Vern screwdriver and enjoy the action.
