Dirty Little Trick (2011)

ridiculous rating

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

They should have just called this movie "The Idiots Club"....Because every male in the story had an IQ at about an 85...Each...I mean it....Every single guy in this movie has got to be the stupidest characters ever created by a screen writer....The main story and all its character's back stories sucked....Everything in this film felt rushed.....And left very little to the imagination....On the other hand....The way the film was Edited was absolutely brilliant....Several different characters with their own back stories....All connected in some form or another to a mysterious young girl.....The Editor really did a wonderful job putting this film together....It was like watching someone solve a Rubix-Cube before my very eyes....This is the most well edited piece of crap I have ever seen....And that's all there is too it....

I saw this movie in on television and I thought this was a fun movie. I liked the fact that it was not your run-of-the mill low budget thriller. Okay, so it's not perfect but I read where the movie hardly cost anything to make and I think they did a great job with what they had. I was a reader for a studio and had the opportunity to read the original screenplay and the screenplay was much better than the film. I thought the worst part was the direction. Maybe if they had hired a decent director this film would have turned out a lot better. Why didn't they just film it the way it was written? But all in all, it was still fun to watch and if you don't take it too seriously then you won't be disappointed.

Well, I just couldn't go on watching this horribly scripted B movie after 20 minutes. I just want to avoid the viewing situation or status going from bad to worse then to the worst when Michael Madsen started to show his face on the screen. There are several iconic representatives of really bad B movies, and M.M. is on the top of such list. Again, this movie started with a guy who's supposed to be a nice and decent guy picked up a mysterious skinny young woman in the middle of nowhere of the wild remote desert countryside, maybe in New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, or what? Texas? Since the reasons and the possibilities of why and how these two characters would appear alone by himself or by herself in the middle of nowhere are usually the trademark of a badly scripted B movie, then you started to lose your patience. And then, the camera focused twice in macro on the kitchen knives so readily hinted something bad gonna happen, even the young female stranger asked the guy to use his apartment's shower and he ordered a pizza delivered to his residence while she's in the shower, then the guy gawked at her wet toweled body and swallowed....now, my friend, it's the time to bail out and reject the DVD before everything turned so stupid and so contrite like a bad B movie could always ruin your day or night when you tried so hard to get a peaceful home and couch warming time. This was where and when I bailed out as always. I could always leave the boring and absent-minded Michael Madsen in the DVD instead of on the monitor. Amen!

"Once you go down this road there ain't no coming back." Michael (Cain) is driving home when he sees the beautiful Sarah (Burson) hitchhiking. He stops to pick her up and his life is thrown into chaos. I have to start by saying that this is not an amazing movie at all. It's not even technically a good movie, but it is an entertaining movie. There have been a few movies recently (Take Me Home Tonight is the main example) that have tried to have the feel of a movie set in the 80's. Most come off as trying too hard. I don't know if this movie was trying or not but it definitely had the feel of a very cheesy low budget 80's movie. The effects were bad and even the plot seemed to be a throw back. If you judge the movie based on effects and acting this is terrible. If you judge it based on entertainment and watch-ability it's not that bad. There are much worse ways to spend 90 minutes of your life. Overall, not good at all, but it is entertaining. I give it a B-.
