| User ReviewJames PI really enjoyed this film. Great performances by Milo Ventimiglia, Jason Lee and the rest of the cast. Kept you guessing and very funny. Lots of nods to 80's films. Fun ride! |
| User ReviewAnne Mercier .A terrific cast make this action-packed movie starring Milo Ventimiglia a must see. It's one of those movies where the minute you turn it on, you literally can't look away. And when it's over, you'll be thinking about all that happened in the movie and wanting to watch it again. What are you waiting for? Go... watch Tell! |
| User ReviewJason YSaw it yesterday in theaters! It was hilarious! Highly recommended!! |
| User ReviewKane SI liked this movie. It's fun, it doesn't take itself too seriously but its humour was intelligent enough to keep me interested and engaged. The characters fulfil what we expect from the genre but without coming across as cliches. Ethan Tell (Milo Ventimiglia) really does feel like an unlucky sod who just can't seem to catch a break. But he's a likeable guy. He doesn't want to screw people over, steal, kill, etc, but it's kind of all he really knows how to do. He's never had that better life that most people in middle class America seem to have, at least on the surface. The wife, the kids, the house with the white picket fence. In a moving part of the film (trying not to give anything away here), he laments the direction his life has taken. And that is where TELL finds its emotional core: yes, this is a film about a bank heist and a bunch of dubious, nefarious and morally challenged characters clamouring to get the money (Jason Lee as "Ray" and Alan Tudyk as a corrupt detective especially shine), but that's really only plot surface stuff. Deep down, this is a film about the regrets we have when we see our lives going one way and they go another. It's that unpredictability of life, those things that are out of our control. Having said all this, the film still delivers laughs and memorable moments. For a small, indie movie, director J.M.R. Luna has crafted a piece of entertainment that should satisfy the more conventional cinema-goers while also offering the thought-provoking nature, purposeful pacing and endearing indie-film traits that we love about smaller movies with big hearts (when the studios seem to only care about dizzying us with fast camera work, visual effects and loud noise). I can see Luna graduating to the realm of the Guy Ritchies or Matthew Vaughns but for now, this is an accomplished and confident directorial debut that shows promise of things to come. |
| User ReviewJonathan AThis movie is so much fun! A new take on a caper gone wrong. Milo Ventimiglia stars as a down on his luck petty crook who gets in over is head. Katee Sackhoff delights as his twisted girlfriend and Jason Lee is hilarious! Go see it. |
| User ReviewWilliam WThe directorial debut of J.M.R. Luna is more than satisfying. The mood, the theme, the image...all falls in the right place. He went for a really defined story, making sure everything work and he populated it with great performances. The cast takes you for a wild ride with everything you expect from a bank heist movie: Gunfights, bad cops, drama, intense suspense, a little bit of humor to lighten up. money bags and a busted garden gnome. All in all, a solid debut film. |
| User ReviewRoxanne CMilo is getting some Big roles now after he was on the divide & also Mike E. |
| User ReviewKurt BOh! Milo! It's surprisingly OK- for a B/C-grade film. |
| User ReviewLuciano GThis movie has an excellent cast with every role having an actor you will .recognize from TV or film.... the performances are uniformly good and it is well shot.... it just seems to be lacking something. ...the humor has a light touch and the action is well handled.... worth a watch but with that cast it could have been so much better.... |
