Daylight's End (2016)
Action Packed Romp
If you like full throttle action sequences set in a Richard Matheson world, then "Daylight's End" is the film for you. Lucked into seeing this film at the Dallas International Film Festival last night and was highly impressed. I don't normally jump at horror films...but I did last night...10 times. Thanks to Will Kaufman and company my wife will now be mercilessly mocking me for months.
The gun battles are epic and blow away most studio films. I would liken the gun play to being as cool as John Wick. You can tell their combat coordinator knows his stuff. All in all, this is a very fun movie and definitely worth the watch. One of Henriksen's coolest films in years.
Sinners and Saints (2010)
Sinners and Saints ROCKS Dallas
Digging through some independent films awhile back and found a gem of a flick in "The Prodigy". After that I started following Will Kaufman to see what he would crank out next. "Sinners and Saints" does NOT disappoint.
The gun battles are fantastic. Some of the best stuff I've seen on camera in a long time. In the action field, Kaufman and company hold their own and then some with major studio productions.
Johnny Strong comes out of nowhere as a Charles Bronson for the new generation. Clint Eastwood would be proud of some of Strong's "Dirty Harry" moments in the flick. Fun performances as well from Method Man, Kim Coates, Louis Mandylor and Costas Mandylor. Wish Kim would have been in the film more.
Fans of the Prodigy will appreciate seeing Holt Boggs, Matt Beckham and Mark Hanson as well as others from the film along side names like Tom Berenger, Bas Rutten and Sean Patrick Flannery.
So many independent films these days are going the horror route or, if they do tackle something like action, they just can't hit the mark. These guys are able to do some amazing stuff with blood, sweat and tears. Can't wait to see what's next.
Ten 'til Noon (2006)
Critics...
Too many people have rated this film poorly. This is a fun movie made in the Hollywood underground style that gave us hits like "Reservoir Dogs" and "El Mariachi". The story itself is clever and one of the smartest shoot-em-up flicks I've seen since "Shooter". A lot of plot twists and an ending that leaves a bittersweet sense of closure. The film introduces a lot of new talent in the acting arena too. No big stars carry this one. No big name director (though he should be). No huge label. And yet it's destined to be a classic. The film isn't perfect. It's not the best movie ever made. It IS a great treat and something worth seeing. I am in NO WAY attached to the production. I don't know ANYONE attached to the film. I've been plugging it left and right though. GREAT FILM!!! Frederic Doss http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2427168/
