Review of Visioneers (2008) by Jesse O — 04 Jul 2011

It kinda sucks that this movie only found a DVD release after The Hangover proved to be a sleeper hit. Of all the independent movies that get distribution deals, I thought this one would have a better shot at it.

Instead it's promoted leeching off The Hangover. The movie is good, not overwhelming. It's a pretty dark and satirical movie, it could have done both better but it didn't. I did like the idea however, the execution wasn't always perfect so that hampered it.

I think it's sometimes indie to a fault, like it was trying really hard to stand out instead of everything coming through organically. But still, it's a solid and enjoyable movie.
