Title: Brawl
Director: Xplayadam
Release Date: 08/02/09
Genre: Comedy/Action
Xplayadam returns to Movie Reels with a film simply entitled, Brawl. His vision is re-created with this some odd 7 minute film. The acting in this film is a bit over dramatic but this piece of work is not one that should be taken all that seriously and I mean that in the best of ways. Xplayadam has his own unique style when it comes to directing and acting. It may not appeal to everyones taste in film but I have to say I enjoyed it. I think the various musical scores were chosen wisely for the scenes they were used in. The scene with the (butcher knives?) was obviously very dangerous but effective. The scene from 1:49 - 3:00 is visually epic. You should consider filming like that more often. The editing in this film I have to highly speak of since in my opinion it's a HUGE step up from all of your previous work. It definitely shows that you put more time & effort into what you do and it certainly pays off in the end once finished. Overall, I would say the reboot of Brawl is your 2nd best filmed movie on here with Dryerman Returns coming in at 1st. I look forward to seeing more from you in the time that is to come.
PROS
- Excellent editing.
- Good selection & placement of musical scores.
- Moments of visual appeal.
- Use of non-prop releated knives.
CONS
- Johnny Boy's (speaking lines) too soft.
- Lack of story/further in-depth plot.
- Use of non-prop releated knives.
Genre: B-
Dialogue: C
Characters: Jack (A-) Johnny Boy (C)
Fun Watching: B+
Overall Grade: B-
