1 Buck

source: 1 Buck

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.

This film should get a lot more recognition for it's efforts. I always like to go into films wanting to know how it's gonna be shot. Visuals and cinematography were great. The group of unknown actors really established their roles with timing and choices. The concept has some originality to it. I would've like to see more of the exploration for a few plot points. Overall... good job. Definitely recommended.

Full of surprises, suspenses, tension darkness and great actors. Excellent!

It is captivating and inspiring story. It is also very realistic. So much talent in one movie! I recommend.

This film has won over 30 awards and from what I've seen, it is very well deserved. 1 Buck gives you a taste of unfortunate reality. All of the actor's performances were very well delivered. The cinematography is raw and beautiful which matches execution of the gritty tone. Director Fabien Dufils did an amazing job of capturing the unfiltered essence of the story in his first feature film.

Harry (John Freeman) sometimes called Larry, sometimes called Eric, is an investigator. There has been a series of murders in the Black Bayou among which was his wife. Harry has a number of issues which include his love of drinking, drugs, and prostitutes. He is under federal investigation. His nephew gives him a marked "lucky" one dollar bill, which Harry immediately spends. The film follows the travels of the dollar bill to connect the story. Harry was a pathetic protagonist. The film was dreary and lacked memorable dialogue or scenes. Guide: F-word, sex, nudity

Loved the filming, the story and the characters. You'll never guess it's a first low budget movie. Well done

This is a wonderful crime thriller that has been winning awards in film festivals all over the world. The story is intense, dark, and unfolds with the right amount of suspense. The cinematography is absolutely beautiful. The actors, both lead and supporting, portray characters that are very true to life and emotionally connected. Put this film on your list of things to see.

Very Dark subjects and intense driven moments by the characters were delivered very well. Do not attention to the unnecessary negative reviews. This is one of the best indie films that I've seen with great execution over some of the larger budget Hollywood films.
