If you're into crime dramas you'll like it...

...not too much of 'romance'. With just 2 conflicting reviews (both correct though) I had to watch myself, and eventually write this..

The good: nice to see (relatively) new actors on screen, playing well (enough) to keep you watching.

You feel with the characters.

The bad: the write-up...boy did that drag and missed opportunities for juust a biit moore twists and turns in a script? Or just make a film shorter if no ideas?

So, if you start watching and make it through the first 30-45min you just need to keep watching, it gets you somehow. And the end is important and has a twist.

Nuf said. And a little final wish - please more Clown movies (with maybe even a bit more Clowing)

Pretty bad acting in a done to death plot.

Not the worst acting I've ever seen, but not great either. The plot is about a discount Johnny Depp wanting to earn some extra cash for his pregnant wife, so he delivers something from Cali to Vegas and finds he's been set up to take the fall for murder, and guess what happens next? Yup, cause you've seen it before.

Annoying Small Movie

Didnt know what to expect and I like it that way so I can form my own opinion. Basically it's about a failed hippie (if there are still hippies these days, more like slackers) CBD product maker who works as a clown to get some dough.

He meets another bad clown and gets tangled up in a crime.

It's stupid.

First of all, the person who did the clown makeup needs to find aother job. Both of the clowns have the worst face make up I've ever seen. The dude doesnt even bother to shave his stubble. The white make up is just put over his beard! It looks ridiculous. Now you might say that's the point, but it doesnt work.

Roughly 25-30 minutes into this it gets a bit better when the crime aspect comes in, but getting there was a chore and maybe not worth it to a lot of people.

And that's the rub. I don't know who this appeals to since none of the characters are believeable or liekable and the movie is so slow you want to go to sleep.

BTW, Pinchinot is unrecognizable. He's like morbidly obese now.

In the end, the movie is far more annoying than entertaining.

Clowning is low budget film however I enjoyed the story, A hippie called Dante struggling make ends meet with rent etc during his wife's pregnancy. However after one gig as Clown in a rave party he's dragged into hellish predicament a conspiracy after finding a body on back of his van. Being gullible Dante is hooked into this crime where its pinned at him and that police think he's been on drugs due to his image.
