RobinHood2010 I picked this up with no idea what to expect, overall I was not disappointed. The production values are pretty good, and the audio quality on my 5.1 system was excellent. Most low budget movies really fall down on the audio but this movie sounded great. Dark Reprieve held my attention for the entire time as I was truly intrigued by the two stories running at the same time. It can be hard to follow at times, however, I recommend that you stick with this one. If you only like Hollywood blockbusters then this movie probably isn't for you, but if you want to see some thing different and can watch with an open mind give this movie a try. To those ripping on the acting...get over it!! What are you people, theater critics for the New York Times? Good grief this movie isn't Shakespeare, what do you expect? This is a popcorn B-Movie that's all. I found it entertaining any way. Budget limitations taken into account. I swear many of you people rent these movies and then expect Citizen Kane.

ScienceGuy2010 Over all I thought this was a solid and smart film. I think however it could have been a lot better with a bigger budget because the ideas and concept where all sound. I give it credit for not looking like a home video the way so many indie films do these days. As a viewer you will either enjoy the non-linear story editing technique or you will hate it. I personally thought it was very clever the way the actors told their own narrative, and small bits of the back story where revealed as the film progressed. Lastly on the positive side, the final twist is one of the best twists I've seen in any movie. You can watch this film a hundred times and never figure out the final reveal on your own, I liked that. Oh and the Raquel Lake character is smoking HOT!!On the down side....a few of the characters where laughably bad, namely the executioner guy, he should of landed on the cutting room floor.

Iamthelaw99 After reading the last couple of reviews for this movie, I decided to give it a try. Much to my surprise, I should have listened to my first instinct and avoided watching it and wasting an hour and eighteen minutes of my life. The plot of this movie could have actually gone somewhere if it weren't for the two main actors. I'd be lying if I said their acting was half-decent. Their performance was nothing less than amateur and unrealistic. It did not sit well with the plot of the movie, I could not even connect their emotions to the way they spoke in every line. I've seen better actors perform on the street. Great movie title, poor performance.

davidm-4 This is a clever movie made on a tight budget, built around an interesting premise revealed at the end. I won't reveal the surprise at the end, but I will say that it reminded me of one of the ideas floating around in Philip K. Dick's "Ubik". In some ways, once the basic situation is explained at the end, the idea was intriguing enough to make me wish the movie had developed it further... because it has a lot of open-ended potential for creating interesting scenarios.The acting was decent, the casting of everyday-looking actors in the two lead parts ultimately works well for the story.M.
