Rockaway (2017)
4/10
Big pass on this mess!
28 January 2019
I get this is John J. Budion's first attempt at writing and directing, but don't lie to your audience by fooling them with these fake reviews. Now I will never see a film by him. At best this film is a 4 or 5. Don't waste your time on a writer/director that has to lie to their viewers.

I saw all these perfect 9&10/10 reviews and decided to give this film a go. What a mess! Visual effects guy John J. Budion turned writer & director seems to have spent more effort on these fake reviews, than his production! Out of 37 reviews (all 9 & 10's), 36 are all fake! Click on the users name and you can tell lol.

For a visual effects guy, you'd think he'd ease up on using an orange washed out filter throughout the entire film. The writing was slow and boring as was the pace, the directing clearly a mess, and the actors albeit mostly kids were poorly directed. At 90 mins runtime, it felt like 150 mins.

It's a 'real' and generous 4/10 from me.
