The Mason Brothers

From some of the other reviews I was indeed expecting a bit of a 'Reservoir Dog"-ish type of dynamic. And although at the very basic level this film does have a somewhat similar plot line, the acting, execution, characters, and in particularly the ending, are absolutely horrid.

Short and sweet ... amateurish and effeminate chick flick of a gangster movie.

Do not waste your time! This is some of the worst acting, writing, and directing i have seen in awhile.

I moved to LA about a year ago and stumbled upon some posts and comments about Keith Sutliff and this film. After seeing some marketing photos/posts with billboards of the poster on city buses I thought "oh geez, another bootleg attempt at trying to be 'Hollywood' and I'm sure this is garbage like most failed attempts at being 'cool' in this industry.

As soon as the starting credits rolled and I saw Keith Sutliff's name in almost every line, I knew I was in trouble. Actor, producer, writer, director, production manager, editor, location manager, casting director, second unit director, assistant director, production designer, art director, casting department, art researcher, production controller, production coordinator and *whew* finally set decorator Keith Sutliff bit off waaaay more than he can chew.

At its core, the story is very similar to Reservoir Dogs, a bank heist goes horribly wrong, a crew man is shot, the bank robbers then seek answers while violently bickering among each other. But there are some key differences.

The director who is also the actor in this movie learned film making at a trade school. He self proclaims himself as a visionary director even though he has never made a film before.

Overall captivtaing from beginning to end. Fantastic cast with solid acting.

The Mason Brothers is a well written crime thriller, an overall artistic style with intriguing story telling. The acting is dramatic, the cinematography really brings the audience into every scene and the vivid score is superb.
