User Review - 10/10 by mike hOh my God I just watched what is easily the best movie of 09. I had no idea the film I was watching was written, directed, and produced by the main guy in the film. I haven`t gotten a rush like this since The Departed. Move over Tarantino, out of the way Ritchie, look out Scorsese. I can`t believe I am writing the first review of this film. What are you people watching out there. This guy deserves to be nominated for a bunch of Oscars. Why isn`t Hollywood throwing money at this guy too make more movies, that I can watch. How come Dan`s not in France getting the Palme d`Or already. This is a great example of film making at its finest. Its amazing and you have to watch it. The Local will make you go Local. MOVIE DICK OVER AND OUT
User Review - 10/10 by Michael TEasily one of the best action films I have seen in years. Appears to be hate it or love it type of movie. Some reviewers have given this flick, in my opinion, an unjustifiably low rating. This is in your face reality, violence, Brooklyn unsugerred thriller. Not something suitable for general audience that seeks their action thrills in movies like the Avengers, Spider-man or the Expendables, but if you are into low budget art films that rely more on acting and plot, this could be a great source of entertainment for you.
User Review - 10/10 by Natalie Johannah TCombines the grittiness of a Euro-Independent film with just enough of the American obsession with story.
User Review - 10/10 by Pete BThis is perhaps my favorite crime film ever... The story is about a new to town guys troubles with debts drug users and addiction. The most convincing portrait of the saddness and turmoil that this would cause. The scene that really got me was the part where he crashes in his small room of stress and total exaustion. Note the details of his bed on the floor. I've lived and seen rooms like this many times and this is how it looks really not like the hollywood glam crime drug films.
User Review - 8/10 by David DDan Eberle plays the good guy having to do bad things to survive. You cannot help but want him to live and find a better life. Finally he has a chance to save a girl and get her back to her father. To do so he must do more bad things. I kept thinking that Dan would be a great choice for a new Billy Jack film. Rumor was that a script was in the making a coupe years ago. On the down side: Way too much swearing and tough-guy machismo from some of the other characters. The F bombs just start to become tiresome. Dan E. pulls this film out of the quagmire by his character. Great job Dan. dd
User Review - 6/10 by Vicente GBadass acting, a badass script, a badass story, a badass score, a great picture... Dan Eberle is just awesome all-around. While watching this, I was thinking man this guy really looks like another version of Micky Rourke, and the funny thing is, during the film, one of the actors says almost the exact same thing about him, which really made me laugh.
User Review - 6/10 by Bill RA gritty, under acted, slight let down. It's a good movie and had a decent plot but with a plot line it had, felt like there should of been more action.
User Review - 2/10 by Wrik SSome of us, at some point in our lives, have had the pleasure of smelling the rotting flesh of an animal carcass. For those who haven't, and are wondering what the experience is like, I suggest you watch this movie.
