Review :
Stunning Imagery, Outstanding Performances, THE BEST first film I've ever seen
I walked into Jailcity at the Avignon New York Film Festival this past November. I was at the fest supporting a friend's film and scored a free pass to any movie playing there. Jailcity was playing in the bigger theater, so I went in. I saw the fliers for Jailcity: No name director, no stars I'd ever heard of, and a synopsis that seemed like it might be a decent actioner.
I was BLOWN AWAY! First of all, the shooting was just beautiful. From the very first frame, to the end, it looked like a painting, not like some cheap indie flick. Second of all, the characters were awesome, it was so cool to see no name actors really bring it, especially "George"(played by Dan Eberle, the writer and director), and all the actors playing the Ramos family. You really felt for these guys. Everyone is just trying to do right, pulling in all different directions. The guy who plays "Jay" is incredible. You just hate his guts every second he's on screen! My only gripe about Jailcity is that it got a little slow in the middle, but just when you think you're about to get bored, the last third of the movie kicks in and its probably the most intense stuff I've seen on screen in years. I wont ruin it, but you just don't know whats coming, and it breaks your heart. Its an amazing ending.
Stick with this movie, cause it sticks with you long after its over. Best film by a first time indie director I've ever seen.
