Danny. Legend. God. is a brilliantly intense drama/thriller, and an excellent directorial debut from Petkov. Once you have seen this indie film, it's not hard to understand why it has such a high rating. I love the concept here, the premise, which -as the synopsis says- is the filming of a crime documentary that gets hijacked by the very guy who is the subject being shadowed and interviewed. There might not be a high budgeted actor here, but Alexiev plays the lead role of the unpredictably dangerous Danny better than two A-listers put together, and his performance, along with the script, will take your head off! If you like crime dramas, themes of corruption or the exploration of characters with dark psychological complexities then this is going to hit you with an instant impact, as well as an ongoing slow burn. Creatively shot, constantly engaging, and incredibly suspenseful; it is gems like this that should remind us all that you don't need tons of cash to make a tight movie.
