Movie Reviews of The Stickup

Movie Review: Excellent low-budget fare
Summary: 5 Stars

Here is an excellent low-budget film produced in Canada with a couple stars and more plot twists and turns than a West Virginia road.

The real star of this flick is producer-director Rowdy Herrington, the director of "Gladiator" and "Bobby Jones". "The Stickup" has one of the most intelligent and involving scripts I've ever seen in a low-budget film. The direction is also first rate with all the players pulling off their roles intelligently and credibly.

There is hardly a cliche or nitwit character to be found in this well crafted mystery about theft, betrayal and absolution. The morality play is small potatoes in this little actioner, which deserves a larger audience. It most reminds me of the early Coen brothers' "Blood Simple" and John Carpernter's "Assault on Precinct 13" (recently remade with a lot of stars), two movies that started important long lasting film careers.

I see big budget Hollywood flicks every day that can't hold a candle to this little movie. It appears Herrington didn't have much of a budget to work with up there in Canada, where the dollar buys more than in Los Angeles, but he made the most of it. He also coaxed good performances from his principal players and produced an interesting drama.

This movie may start slowly but it will keep you guessing throughout its 90 minutes. If you like crime dramas or action flicks, this movie is for you.
