This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This movie is terrible except the first scene when the small boat carrying the deadbeat detective to where the corpse dumped. After that, just a dreary, dragged pathetic process without any interesting thing worth your time and brain to hang on tight. It's like the script writer(s) didn't know how to move the story forward, didn't have anything worth saying. So what we got is a detective with broken heart, relied on drugs and drinking to kill his depression. A cop drinking on the job? This is a slow motion movie got nothing to tell but had to use one dollar to expand the nothingness. I have to give up this pathetic movie after wasted 25 minutes, man.
Full of surprises, suspenses, tension darkness and great actors. Excellent!
Very solid independent film exploring the gritty behaviors of Louisiana characters. Some people are only use to one way drama stories which is why they don't give this a chance. 1 Buck attempts to put you in the character's position without doing too much in the same vein as what some people would do in real life behind closed doors. It's a little dose of reality which some people can't handle at times. Lead character Harry played by John Freeman establishes the character behavior very well. Also, strong gripping highlights from actress Katie Ryan as Amara and a wonderfully fierce performance by Will Green as Jordan in addition to the other excellent ensemble completes director Fabien Dufils intense visual efforts. Definitely recommend for open minded audiences.
It's not really my type of thing as lots of crime and sex occupies the screen. But apart from the 1 buck actually has little to do with the actual story, the form of tracing a 1 buck from beginning to end does feel something new. The ending's got an interesting little twist though. Interestingly as Harry has killed the serial killer, he gets killed by the drug dealer as well, simultaneously when the police came, and they don't seem surprised at all to him being killed. So it's very likely that the police has ordered the drug dealer to kill Harry. Please let me know if I'm wrong. Altogether, it's really not so bad a movie to see but the rate is exaggerated. 7 to 7.5 would be neutral.
