The Bad Shepherd

Who are these four central characters anyway? Why are they even together on a hunting trip? Who is the protagonist to root for? Why do they do what they do? I probably would have this review contain spoilers if there was anything possible to spoil. There isn't. It was monotonous and painfully boring. I'm not exactly sure where these other reviews came from. I watched it only because it is a 6.5 rating but that only came from 10 reviews so I'm assuming they must be from the actors who made it. Hahahaha. Because no one in their right right mind is going to rate this movie more than a three. So do yourself a favor and avoid paying the money for this. If you really need to see it, just wait until it's free somewhere and I'm quite sure after the first 15 minutes you will shut it off because trust me, Nothing more happens any interest.

This movie starts off great. It is very suspenseful. I started it on the edge of my seat and through most of it, but the ending really was disappointing to the point I feel like I wasted my time today watching it. I do not recommend this movie. I recommend you save your time. I am definitely hitting dislike on netflix. Because I do not want to watch films like this anymore. The character that plays the man going after his evert property it's frustrating because you don't know who he is. He could be from the mob. He could be an undercover cop. You just don't know and I feel like that should be a part of the movie knowing who that man is.

This movie started out really well. And then the story got more and more ludicrous. If you're a hunter, outdoorsman or know anything about firearms, you'll have a good laugh. They are using WW2 era rifles. Clearly from the bargain bin in the prop shop. The director seems more concerned with having fashionable haircuts and clothing than being anywhere close to what hunters wear. And the tired cliche coonskin hat? Seriously?? The 1920s era bear trap? What is this - Looney Tunes? The only redeeming value of this film is the scenery. For urbanites. I'm still trying to understand the thought process of the writer. Shame on the producers for doing zero research on hunting.

Four guy friends on a hunting trip hit a woman with their truck. They find that she was carrying a suitcase full of cash. As they load her dead body onto their truck, a cop shows up. Later, a mysterious man confronts them about the cash.

This starts initially with a perfectly good crime thriller premise. Almost immediately, the writing has problems. I don't know why they're carrying around the body. Grab the bag and go. The problems keep piling on. The acting is bad. The film looks weak. While intriguing, the mystery guy makes limited sense until the reveal. The reveal and the actual premise of this story could have been great. The execution leaves a lot to be desired. It needs to lay out much more bread crumbs for the reveal to mean more.

I disagree with the 3/10 reviewers comments. I liked that the inciting incident happened almost Immediately. I thought this movie was interesting. I had interruptions while watching it but I kept coming back to it because I wanted to see how things unfolded. And I also liked that the characters weren't entirely coloured in. It added to the suspense. I thought the plot was somewhat predictable but I enjoyed the twist at the end, which I had not seen coming. I thought the acting was very solid and believable. One of the actors is my friend's son, which made it even more fun to watch. And because I watch a wide variety of movies, I think my opinion is valid. I have many other movies to compare it to.
