The Pineville Heist, Started off with great vistas and high possibilities, decent story line, but is basically a long winded College style production. The lighting was good.
This is a very well produced film. It is not a multi-million dollar Hollywood blockbuster, however you would not know that by the superior production quality.
The Pineville Heist begins with an aerial shot over the pristine forested land which sets the mood for the entire movie. The music was well chosen and immediately gives you a local feel pulling you right into the story.
The Pineville heist Cineplex Silver City April 25,2016Wake up Thunder Bay! You have a legitimate Hollywood film maker in your midst.
Pineville Heist is surely a movie to watch. Like many productions, there are issues here and there.
Was lucky enough to attend a screening of Lee Chambers' "The Pineville Heist" last night. It's the story of a high school kid who stumbles onto bank robbers burying their stolen cash in the woods, and then his life is turned upside down when he decides to find the money and take it.
The acting in this movie is atrocious, particularly the teenage lead. It sounded like he had marbles in his mouth the whole time.
SPOILERS AHEADTHE PINEVILLE HEIST is a coming of age thriller that introduces us to Aaron Stevens, the son of a politician in a small town known as Pineville, he shares a bad rep due to his father's unpopular economic policies which have sent the entire town into bankruptcy and recession after he closes the mill. Aaron isn't on good terms with him either since he is more interested in drama and Hamlet rather than politics and economics.
I review film submissions for many film festivals, so it was a welcome surprise when I had seen this as a submission to the 2017 FILMCHELLA film festival on February 27th, I am only one of a couple dozen reviewers for that festival, but I strongly recommend it as an official selection, This is an epic film, from the opening shot, a beautiful aerial view of the forest, to the eerie shots accentuated by the low key lighting and use of hard shadows in the school, the cinematography looks fantastic, like it was shot with the same cameras used in big budget films, it is a very well written story, the principal, the sheriff and the school teacher were it's strongest actors, overall the school teacher is the best actor in the film, she is perfect, the principle is obviously a Hollywood character actor, and he's good at it' the sheriff was portrayed perfectly, the actor playing that role could easily be a real sheriff or football and baseball coach as he is the perfect role model type personality, this is definitely a coming of age film as well as a thriller, it has moments that captivated the audience and kept them at the edge of their seats, for a relatively low budget film, on Hollywood terms anything produced for under a million dollars is low budget, it looks and sounds like a bigger budget film, it has a few small errors in the audio, slight ADR discrepancies, and a few slight Visual Effects errors, not enough for the general public to criticize, but prevalent enough for distributors to take notice, the score is good, the acting is good, the characters work well together, it's believable, overall I loved this film, it kept me excited and intrigued, and engaged in the story, at the end it didn't feel like 80 minutes, which is great, the pace kept going, I would watch it again..
