Summary: Little Phenom
Review: Not much there in the way of budget and it shows, but boy does this little movie pack a wallop! The DVD is clean and grain-free and it helps when you can hear all of Carnahan's rude, abrasive, gut-busting dialogue. This one is a must for Indie film fans, a true breakout cult film, maybe the best since Repo Man.

Summary: Cheap Tarantino knock off
Review: Question: Why buy a cheap imitation when you can own the real thing for the same price? I'm talking about the DVDs of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" of course. Both brought to you by a director that understands pacing, acting and directing actors. I've seen a lot of "Tarantinoesque" films, but never one with such shameless disregard of originality. "BGB&O" does have flurries of good writing, but the director doesn't know when to have his characters shut up. Watching this, all I kept saying to myself was, "Breath, man, breath..." Technically, it wasn't half-bad, its low budget actually works in its favor, much like "El Mariachi" (we saw what happened when a large budget was thrown at that very same story with "Desperado"). Like I said, your money would better spent purchasing films that this one tries so desperately to imitate.

Summary: Really great rental!
Review: Rented this film the other night and was duly impressed! This film looks like it was made for about 5 bucks, but it really packs a punch! Great dialogue and acting and the story knocked me out. I can't believe this film hasn't gotten more notice.

Summary: Exciting movie
Review: Saw this in my video store and rented it for the title more than anything. I have to say, it was one of the better movies I rented in a long time. The acting was pretty decent, but the thing that got me was the ending. Killer music too.

Summary: Great flick from the start!!!!
Review: There are a few movies that make feel like I wished I was the one doing the acting. This is one. I received this movie as a gift because I am a Pontiac man. I watched this movie with a feeling like "another movie that is not worth my time." I was wrong.
This movie is great. I was amazed at the story line. The movie kept me till the end. The acting was good and it had me guessing till the end. Awesome plot and terrific scene editing. I loved the camera work. I can see that many movie makers copied Carnahan's style with the camera.
I highly reccomend this film to any movie enthusiest. I am also awaiting J. Carnahan's next film. I am a movie-goer and I like getting my moneys worth. Great flick. When does the next one get here.

Summary: Goes a Long Way
Review: This is a good example of how someone can take a tiny budget, a fun idea, a skeletal story and a cast/crew of unknowns and whip together something fun and exciting. It's better than a lot of other action movies out there (although there are no typical ugly special affects, e.g., pyrotechnics, bullets bursting through bodies, etc.) The banter between the protagonists is a mixture of Quentin Tarrentino meets caffienated salesmen. I don't know any of the cast, but most of them have lots of charisma. Some may grouse that this movie was too self-conciously indie, too derivative of Resevoir Dogs or is just an ambitious person's calling card - but in my mind, it puts a lot of big movies to shame. It's certainly better than anything that goes direct to video. If you wanted to improve this movie (remember, we're dealing with newbies here), the FBI personnel were used to tell the story. Their role as the storytellers was a little wooden, too obvious and not all that necessary - so I would trim their parts down.

Summary: Great Indie Classic
Review: This is a movie destined to be remembered and rented for years to come! The story is clever and the writing is superb! I don't know what this guy has up his sleeve next, but I'm sure it will be one you don't want to miss!

Summary: What are you people thinking?
Review: This was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. It isn't "clever" dialogue that cracks me up but rather the horrendous film making. B,G,B,&O is the type of movie I would have written when I was fifteen and thought Quinten Tarantino was the greatest film maker of all time. The fact that this is the type of stuff fifteen year old boys would make isn't as bad as the fact that fifteen year old boys could probabally make a film of the same quality as B,G,B,&O. Even though this movie is, in my opinion, one of the worst movies ever made I still have to suggest that everyone see it. The piss poor quality of this movie will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. One scene I really loved was when this guy at a diner tells a story about Johnny Cash being violated in prison. The guy delivers the entire rant doing an impression of Jules from Pulp Fiction.

Summary: What a movie!
Review: What a great movie. Who can forget the "man in black" Michael Sumaure. What a great up and coming actor I can't wait to see his next movie! If you only buy one movie buy this one.
