I thought this movie was really good for what it is - a limited release, likely low budget affair. The plot was not the most original but the characters and scenes and most of the dialogue were very well written compared to other movies like this. I grade it a 10 with this in mind against similar movies, not some blockbuster masterpiece. The film kept my attention to the end. The only distracting part was some of the background actors, the film was filmed in Italy but the plot is in Texas, there were some obviously Italian actors trying hard to sound like Texas but you could hear the accents. Filmography wise I thought it was done very well again.
Is this a 10 all time against all competition? No, obviously, but when judged against similar competition it sure is. It felt like a normal higher budget movie (aside from the extra actors with a couple lines), and looked really nice. It flowed spectacularly so pacing was great, and the scenes/writing naturally evolved. These are things lower budget movies tend to fail on which makes them feel low budget and cheap. I'm not sure what the budget was here but I presume pretty low given the limited release and for that it stands near the top.
