Guns of Eden

itsgd movie

good gril nic move

فيلم جيد!

Jeremy (Peter Johnson) and Megan (Alexandra Faye Sadeghian) are partners ob the Buffalo police force. Megan is the junior partner but served in Iran. While shopping in a convenience store after work, a robbery goes down. Megan accidentally shoots a uniformed officer. She quits the force. In an effort to cheer Megan up they go on a camping trip with Blake (Dominic Luongo) and Gabriella (Nicole Colon) in Eden County. Here they espy the tail end of a drug bust, one where the cop (Bill Kennedy) illegally executes the criminals. Having been seen they are all hunted like John Rambo with large groups of heavily armed vigilantes. The hunted acquire guns so they are able to fire back. AS in most stories the hunted becomes the hunter. It does seem to grow long and boring. The story tries to be critical of Second Amendment groups, but misses the mark with its gross fictional tale. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

I have seen worse movies, and I have given up on better movies. It is in the zone where it can almost be enjoyed for how bad it is, but it is teetering on the brink of being so bad it can barely be stomached. Overall this reminded me of exploitation movies from the 60's and 70's except with worse acting, directing, special effects and writing. It really seemed like a bunch of teenage boys wrote the script, trying to outdo each other for how macho and tough they can sound. Except the lines are being delivered by their parents. For the copious amount of guns, they drew in explosions and maybe cartridges ejecting, not to mention occasional ricochet sparks and incredibly evenly spaced holes in cars and buildings. I think they also spent about five dollars on ketchup packages. Anyway, if you are a fan of really bad movies, give it a shot. If not, avoid it at all costs.

The budget for "Guns of Eden" had to have been sizable in the area of ammunition, based on the rounds fired during the non-stop action of the film. In Megan, there was a strong central character of a decent cop who wanted to follow in the footsteps of her dad. But Megan had the misfortune of accidentally killing a fellow officer during a shootout in a convenience store. And when she decides to visit "God's country" with her former police partner Jeremy in order to recover, she must turn survivalist against a strange paramilitary group. Instead of finding a safe haven, Megan experienced the exact opposite of paradise. Led by "Sheriff Preacher," the zealous group that is apparently working closely with a corrupt New York Congresswoman is preparing for a "revolution." Megan gets in the middle of their messianic quest. There was far too much violence in the film and some of the most unsavory characters imaginable. While well-acted and well-produced, the film left an unpleasant feeling about a group of disaffected religious anarchists awaiting the end of days.

This movie is horrible at everything, and I'm not sure how they managed it! The worst part is the script. The lines sound like they were written by a 3-year-old, and that is probably being unkind to the 3-year-old. To make this movie even worse is the acting. Acting can at least make a bad script a little better, but in this case, it makes it even worse! The lines could be spoken better if they had used a computer voice simulated. They are spoken with literally no emotion at all. The location is at least good to look at. I would rather be hiking in the woods alone that watch this movie. AVOID this movie at all costs.

The trailer made this movie look really impressive for a low budget film. I watched it and enjoyed it for the most part. But there were a number of gaffs and plot flaws that just seemed like they were forced in for whatever reason. *Spoiler Alert!* a few examples... -Why split up when you're running from the cops? Doesn't make any sense. Stay together. You're severely outnumbered, so there's no point in splitting up. Why did Blake just run at the police? He was so overcome with his girlfriend captured that he decided to run at them and shoot instead of maybe wait and try to sneak in and get to her? Not even use something as cover? I think this was suppose to be emotional. It wasn't. There's apparently only one way in or out of the woods. That entrance is a giant clearing where you could see a car from a half mile away. But, they act shocked when they're only maybe 100 feet away? The helicopter attacking Gabriela. Then it just gave up? They didn't radio it in? Doing it CGI-less was impressive though. Lynn Lowry made her keep her guns outside? Why? If she didn't want them, she could have just taken them instead of leaving them out after she knew the police were chasing her? The "Alpha Woman Killer" that came in the end? Were we suppose to say "oh boy! It's getting good!"? She died within seconds hah. Also, the last little dialog driven scene between Megan and Preacher was too long, not intense, and just needed to end asap. Although it didn't live up to the trailer, it was still a pretty decent time. I enjoyed watching it.. Megan (lead) and Jeremy other were very good actors who played their roles very well. I would expect to see both of them a lot in the future.

I honestly only watched this because of actress Brooke Lewis Bellas. Any Brooke fans just know the trailer makes it seem like she's in it more. But, she came and went. A travesty I say as this is a waste of super talent. With that rant over I'm legit surprised how fun this film was. Cheesy AF and low budget, but overall I had fun. I've seen enough of these and some can drag. This one went by pretty quickly (thought in fairness it's also shorter than expected) I think the ending was either trying to set up for a sequel or maybe there's a message it was trying to state that went over my head? Either way, it just felt unsatisfying. But overall still had fun.

Buffalo policewoman Megan (Alexandra Faye Sadeghian), her partner Jeremy (Peter Johnson) and his friends Blake (Dominic Luongo) and Gabriella (Nicole Colon) go camping for the weekend to get Megan's mind off of an accidental shooting during a holdup. Except, well, you know how it goes. They witness the execution of a drug trafficker by Sheriff Preacher (Bill Kennedy) and his deputies and try to get out of town, only for the sheriff to send an armed militia after them. Gregory Lamberson directed and wrote something entertaining here,as sure, we know that Megan is going to make it - the tagline says "Against all odds she will survive" - but for a low budget gun movie, he makes something pretty entertaining with plenty of twists and turns that surprised me. And hey - Lynn Lowry is in the cast! If you're looking for a movie with plenty of hardware - they even got a helicopter for the militia - this will definitely more than do the job. I also appreciate that a sequel is teased at the end.
