Young lass Gwen (a terrific performance by Katharine Isabelle) finds herself at a roadside diner with no idea of who she is or how she got there. Through a series of intricate flashbacks Gwen figures out the circumstances pertaining to how her boyfriend died and the assorted colorful criminal types involved in said death. Director April Mullen keeps the tricky, but still coherent and compelling story zipping along at a brisk pace, brings a right-on hip'n'funky pulp sensibility to the enjoyably lurid proceedings, and stages the exciting action with rip-roaring gusto as well as delivers a handy helping of bloody violence topped off with a wickedly amusing sense of dark humor. Tim Doiron's crafty script provides a few neat twists and turns. Isaballe plays two radically opposite personalities -- one confused, innocent, and vulnerable, the other cunning, worldly, and dangerous -- with tremendously impressive skill and aplomb; she receives sturdy support from Christopher Lloyd as sleazy crime boss Cyrus, Doiron as eager sidekick Ty, Kyle Schmid as ill-fated boyfriend Aster, Michael Ironside as the baffled Sheriff Knowles, Jesse McCartney as the smitten Winks, and Mullen as cheery illegal arms dealer Lemmy. A nifty little flick.

This is not pleasant viewing, nor is it particularly clear. After watching Their Finest the previous night which is a magnificent screenplay, this is like it was put together on cards and the author dropped them on the floor and never quite got them together. The violence is senseless and demeaning. I got the sense of the bewilderment by a great lead but the rest is dreadful. Avoid...., really, avoid!

-88 (2015) movie review: -88, which is already on Netflix?, is an action thriller about a girl who's former mob-ish boss kills her fiancé, so she goes nuts and tries to kill him. Only problem is that after the incident, she develops a sort-of new, mild personality that does not remember anything; an event that happens after traumatic events occasionally. -I feel like 88 had the proper amount of cheesy and lame elements in it for me to hate on it, but then it threw in just enough good elements for me to say 'Eh' about it. So here is an 'eh' review: -The story feels new, but every element of the way they did the story, from the Reservoir Dogs past-to-present cuts, to the quick flashback cuts from EVERY MOVIE EVER, so literally the same ending as Rage. Okay, not the same, but similar. In fact, this film is 2015's Rage. -The pace is good, but the flashbacks are even out of order, making some of them feel unnecessary, and making the film feel a little too long. For an 88 minute film. -The acting. So Katharine Isabelle did a fine job. She was believable, but not great. She really tried hard. Christopher Lloyd did a fine job. He was believable and good, but he did not really have to try, and it shows. Tim Doiron is pretty bad. And Michael Ironside showed up in it, hurting my opinion of the film even more with his generic acting. -The characters are all generic and cliché. Like I said, this film offers little-to-nothing new. -The music was weird and almost Tarantino weird. Almost. -A few of the scenes I thought were good and well done, and others I thought were student-film quality. Like 'Oh my gosh. I can't believe they are not dead.' I will give mega props to the ending. Although I totally should have known how it would end, I thought the ending helped pull the film out of the 'eh' for me. Like Rage from 2014. -88 is also Rated-R for language, a somewhat strong amount of underwear, and bad blood effects everywhere. -Anyway, 88 had a few redeeming features like the actual story or the ending, but I don't think they quite make up for bad fights, lame characters (and actors), and cliché everythings. As good as the ending was, 88 is not really worth the time.

Every once in awhile you see a movie and get surprised at least I do. Nowadays anyone with half a brain can see a bad movie coming..... This movie had me thinking B - Grade movie. Names were not to familiar to me. Katherine Isabelle was awesome and surprised the heck out of me. Yes, it was a little bit to much to follow , here , there , this time , that time but I settled in.........on the performance of Katherine. I would say it is a must see over a lot of movies with higher billing and more famous stars. The 10 lines.........agh. Cool movie , surprisingly good actress carrying the entire movie with ease. Katherine Isabelle is stunning in more ways than one in this performance hope to see her do more.

I watched this movie on netflix and forgot that I could pause it... I loved every moment of it. So imagine my surprise when I find mostly hate and bad reviews here. Sure it isn't for everyone... really, no movie is; but surely I am not the only one who thought this was a very engaging film? I won't post any spoilers, I liked it too much for that. I really enjoyed the movie and will watch it again soon, and delight in picking up more nuances that I might have missed, as well as enjoying my partner's reaction to it. What's not to like? (That's a rhetorical query here, OK?) It has a great lead, a good 'WTF is going on here' story, a believable resolution, I found the actors convincing, and the photography utterly watchable. Some of the shots were so beautiful in their composition that I will pause the movie there the second time around and just enjoy the image. I have seen few movies lately that gave me such a complete package. Some movies seem to forget that it is about visual story telling, but this one didn't. The score added to the movie, without getting in the way, or taking me out of the moment, the dialog was just right. And even though I could see the ending coming, I didn't want to hasten it, but let it take its own time, just like reading slower when you draw near the end of a great book: You can't stop reading, but you try to enjoy every last word... I even loved the final shot... it gave the viewer time to revisit the entire film, and left you with both the sense of anticipation and the knowledge of realization in perfect balance.

OK, so this is maybe a 6, but I saw it at Glasgow Frightfest, and that makes an impact in itself, maybe I'll downgrade it to a 6, but maybe it is a 7! Who knows? I should, right? Anyway! Going to try not to spoil anything here, and I will be brief. I liked Katharine Isabelle in this one. She is cool, weird and not to shabby-looking either. Hard to put this in one genre, it's rather violent, got some drama, some action, some humor, and a little mystery to it too. But I liked it. It was entertaining, and again Katharine Isabelle is the real star here. She is fun to watch. She may slightly overdo her "I'm-so-incredibly-cool"-thing a little at times, or it might just be me. And if it's not me, I think it's the director and/or screenwriters fault. Anyhow, entertaining little flick.

i don't know whether its Katherine acting or what but she saves the movie from falling off .the police was just way too dumb in the whole scenario being made look bad .other than that i liked the movie and you will love the end.the whole movie has got twists .some are good and some are way off . my favorite was of course the one in the end .****spoiler alert***** : in which Gwen gets the flashback that she was actually the killer of her lover .she did it by accident .also in the case of waitress getting shot in the beginning it was also by chance but you can blame Cyrus in the sense that he was the one who taught her how to use the gun but he shows his father figure at the end when he shoots himself in order to save Gwen from going to jail and takes all the blame . i like the message of the movie

Hated it - just because I really did Well, no, not really. The lead is quite believable, but I have to give it 1 star just to offset the incredible amount of people who think this is a 10. It's more like a 4-5 movie, straight-to-video I would imagine. The only reason I am writing this is because I forced myself to finishing watching until 2 in the morning and it just wasn't that good. Yay! Katharine Isabelle! - Nice job, crappy movie. Action was decent, but laughable. This may be a great movie for law enforcement. I'm not in law enforcement, and I don't own any firearms, but I'm fairly certain that if I did I wouldn't be in a fire-fight in any manner of how these individuals acted with a gun in their hand. Totally laughable! Story line was convoluted at best. Some flashbacks, dark scenes, it seemed like there were two or three timeless, but they were not effective in anyway except to account for lack of plot. Speaking of a lack of plot, there were too many songs which were supposed to bridge over lulls in the plot. (Always a bad thing in any movie, music can enhance, songs are used in lieu of a plot). (It can be done, it's just very difficult) So, after all that, I changed my mind 3/10, but still 1/10 to add balance to the rating. oh, one more thing; I have no idea what Christopher Lloyd was saying most of the time (bad sound or he just mumbled a lot, I'm not sure).

I watched this film at the recent Niagara Falls Comic Con. I was instantly drawn into the strange world of Flamingo/Gwen. I don't want to give away the story but it was very engrossing and with enough twists and turns for a top notch ending. The beginning is not the beginning the end is not the end but the beginning. The acting was topnotch with Catherine Isabelle and Christopher Lloyd in a challenging roles. Beautifully filmed in the Niagara area of Ontario on a short film schedule. There is nothing unnecessary in this film. No filler no fluff. I have to commend the filmmakers and creative team for making and I hope they make many more films like this.
