Action Packed

I thoroughly enjoyed this fast action packed thriller that kept you on the edge of your seat guessing and wanting to see more of what was going to come next. This was a brilliant well put together Australian Indy movie that leaves you wanting to see more. With a fantastic young group of up and coming Australian Actors that put in a fantastic performance it was refreshing to see something new coming out from Australian movies instead of the same old movies and the same actors that we have seen for the last 20 years. This is a movie that I would absolutely recommend to anyone who is a fan of movies with great fight scenes action packed along with a great story to go with it. I will be looking forward to see what else the film makers produce in the future.

Australian Movie

I don't know what it is, but Australia does struggle to produce a polished movie project. Deadtime is just below average. The acting and dialogue lacked pace and struggle to keep me entertained.

Rody Claude, among other things, stared and directed this movie. Was that a mistake? I think that it could have been, and the movie suffered from it.

He story line was passable, however, the lack of pace and direction l;et the script down. It's possible that with a more experienced director, Deadtime, may have been an above average movie. I am hopeful that the Australian film makers get a bigger budget to add the finishing touches to their movies. Would I recommend it, no.

Loved it

Warning: Spoilers
DEADTIME, this is the first feature film from the New dynamic duo on the Australian film makers block "Introducing" "Kylie and Rody Claude" Well If you love Martial Arts then you will love this film, Rody is certainly a talented and accomplished martial artist so too are the other actors such as "Kenny Low – Lee / Chan"; None of the martial arts would have the impact they do on screen without both the skill of the martial artist coupled with the brilliant camera work. Personally I believe that when your on both sides of the camera it adds a whole new level of hard to make scenes. Kylie and Rody have done this quite seamlessly They are actually done very well. The story is in what I would describe as a dark look into the black market trafficking of human organs. And we follow "Jessica Hegarty – Claire" on her journey to discover the truth behind her Fathers "Paul Boucher – Bennett" company. The story is original and keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next; the filming is raw and has a unique real feel to it. They have some amazing props in this low budget Indi Film, such as Planes, amazing cars and they even showcase the awesome "Aston Martin" There is good character development in this film; I have no doubt that you will get attached to them as you are drawn into the plot. Deadtime stands up to its name yes there are a lot of dead bad and good guys, so don't get too attached to your characters or you may feel like your watching game of thrones "No one is safe" but then again the film does have a few twists that take you in different directions. I personally enjoyed the film its Fresh, new and innovative. Tony Spencer
