Now I am going to write the film review for my own movie and then add the text around the images.
Hard Cash Film Review:
This new and upcoming, seven minute, 21st Century adaptation on the Film Noir/Neo Noir genre is a wonderful blend between the two styles. The movie begins in modern colour, but soon flashbacks into traditional black and white. Directed by Rosie Lansbury, it balances on the verge between bad mistakes and a brilliant first attempt.
When Evelyn Harold (Chloe Newton), a classic femme fatal, discovers that her husband is cheating, a classic Film Noir plot ensues, but, how far will she go to get revenge? The plot thickens when Policeman Harry White (Jack Squires) and Detective Jack Chandler (Ben Humberstone) discover the suicide of James Harold (Daniel Cowie) and a late-night phone call from Evelyn twists the plot into an excellent example of the Film Noir genre.
Unfortunately, due to its extremely low budget and inexperienced production team, the special effects are appalling. The blood is clearly nothing more than ketchup on the face! However, the gun shot and other editing are extremely well timed. Therefore, if you ignore the objects from the wrong era and bad effects, this film will keep you entertained for the full seven minutes.
The movie has an unknown cast and an unknown crew; however, in my opinion, this makes the movie even better as you start off with very low expectations, and are greeted with what is actually a pretty decent movie! The acting, if not a little cheesy, is accurate and entertaining, and the edgy and slick directing of Rosie Lansbury has made this piece really come together.
So, just like The Big Sleep made us crave love and LA Confidential made us suspicious of the Police, Hard Cash combines both those themes with an extra twist!
