Kind of Amateur Movie that gives Amateur Movies a Bad Name

Bad acting, bad script, bad direction... what else could you want in an amateur film? How about a professional actor surrounded by amateurs? You get that in Richard Lynch. I don't know who he was related to or who he owed money to but that has to explain what he's doing in this. Looks like a bunch of friends got together and said "Hey, kids, let's put on a show! We can use the barn at the old William's place and I know where we can get a bunch of guns!" Not quite like the Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney epics, but you get the concept. Film actually runs under 58 minutes, but then they pad its running length with outtakes and a "music" video. Still under 65 minutes, so I don't know where IMDb gets its 86 minute length. Just as well, I'd hate to think I wasted that much time watching this.

Ultimate amalgam of archetypal generic conventions...

Today considered by film theorists in academia as the ultimate amalgam of archetypal generic conventions iconic to both the self-reflexive and stereotypical Film Noir mob film genres displaced from the usual urban, east-coast setting onto the pastoral, suburban setting of the San Jose Office Park, The Friggin' Mafia Movie challenges audiences with a plethora of intellectual quandaries culminating in an ultimately everlasting edification unparalleled since the Three Stooges' Disorder in The Court (USA 1936). Lead artfully by character player Richard Lynch as an embittered, comedic version of himself, a group of disgruntled actors cease control of production on an "ultra-cheapie", mob feature film only to save mankind from the film itself. This Film is a Party unto itself!

Richard Lynch fans should see this gem

This film was a genius of utility and gorilla film work by Director Shawn Flanagan(just as good or better than the stolen subway scenes in THE FRENCH CONNECTION) . All the great directors who have filmed this way would be proud. There are some pretty good special effects including an excellent array of live gunfire. There appears to be live gunfire occurring from an aircraft shootout with actor Richard Lynch standing on a tower virtually able to reach out and touch the attacking aircraft. Also, you can see windows being blown out for real as actors are being shot at by their adversaries. Richard Lynch did a really unique performance in this film and fans will do well to watch it....You can get a copy(s) at NETFLIX and or AMAZON.
