Godspeed (2009)

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Good idea lost in the noise

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Well...this was one of the major disappointments I ever crossed my eyes with...The movie can be "summarized" in one sentence: "The fight of two preachers, who are "god-wannabes" And that's it.the movie is almost every second blah-blah-blah...the "action" parts of the movie are only in the beginning when Charles wife and son are murdered...and in the last 10 or 15 minutes beginning when Charles is taken to the woods, to be shot...The acting is not awful, but, hell, the dialogs are so.............stupid...this movie is truly dispensable...unfortunately almost every movie that comes from Hollywood, nowadays, is dispensable.........even the majority of the B class movies like this one...Don't waste your time

Godspeed is a true independent film, Robert and the rest of the cast have done a fantastic job making a beautiful piece of art. Not only did the cinematography take my breath away, but also each character showed true. While the subject matter does make one uncomfortable at times, it shows a problem that is ignored in society and is one that should be addressed. I would also like to give a huge compliment to Cory, Robert, and Joe on their character development, as an audience member I felt true compassion for each character. This movie is one that I am very excited about adding to my collection and being able to enjoy more of these filmmakers and actors work. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys films that make you think days afterward. However I would not recommend this to children and younger teens based upon subject matter.

This is an amazing film, hard to believe this is not a big budget picture. What little the story lacks is well made up for in other areas. The production quality and outstanding cinematography alone are enough to enjoy the movie, as absolutely beautiful images flow throughout the picture. I can't wait to see it on the big screen. The professionalism of the experience is even more embellished by the veteran performance by Joe McKelheer. Joe's acting ability is truly underrated and deserves note here. He manages to pull you in to the storyline by being such a believable and relatable character. Truly a top notch production. Watch and enjoy.

A faith healer barely is making a living in the wilds of Alaska . He withdraws into himself after his wife and child are killed by intruders to his house. He meets a young woman with whom he makes a bond. She eventually takes him home to meet her family and things become deadly.This is a good but not great film. The Alaskan locations make a nice background for the story of a group of people lost in their own personal wilderness. The cast is pretty good and is nicely balanced. The trouble with the film is that some of what happens once everyone ends up at the girl's home is a little odd. Its hard to explain what actually bothers me with out giving too much away, but I find the motivation and the head space of two of the characters a little odd. Its not bad, but I found it hard to fully connect with the characters the way I probably should. It also makes some of what happens a little hard to fully accept. Having said that I have to say that I like the film; I don't love it but I did like it. It's the sort of film that hovered around the edges of my psyche after it was done. Would I recommend it if one had to pay full price in the movies, probably not, but I think that if one wanted to see a good, decidedly not your typical Hollywood film, one should give this a shot on home video or on cable.
