I watched this high so I'll have to do a separate review for when I watch it sober. Long story short I was bored on a Thursday and was searching through the r/movies subreddit as I came across this. I literally had nothing better to do so I just put this movie on. I assumed it was a student film so I was open minded. After about 30 minutes, I turned off the movie and went to grab some food as I realized that the plot was actually very interesting so I finished watching it. Still slightly confused but I enjoyed it overall.
First off, I laughed a lot, especially Jim Conners and Dalton's dialogue. However, some parts of the film moved slowly, but I was entertained most of the time. The plot from what I remember was very complex...but I think it worked. Most of the side characters were average; however, Hans was a good villain. I think the main reason I was confused was because a lot of the actors played multiple roles.
I did think some of the Dills dialogue was a bit tedious (when you can make out what he was saying over the wind) but overall he was a good character. I thought him bugging Dalton throughout the movie was pretty funny.
Most of the costumes were pretty good, except for how come the CIA director was wearing a fedora?
Maybe it was just me (or the high), but the soundtrack reminded me of the old spy films I used to watch with my dad as a teen.
This film objectively is decent for a student film but it got me back into the old Bond films so I gave it a 9/10. Honestly, if the movie had an actual budget I think it would be theater worthy.
I can tell the director spend a lot of time on this movie and I applaud him for thinking outside of the box to make up for the low budget.
I have spent way too much time writing this review but if you have a low attention span and you just skiped to the last line, my only message is to give the film a try but keep the low budget in mind.
