Into the Ashes

Sloan (Frank Grillo) gets out of prison and reunites with his old crew. They intend on getting back the money stolen by their former comrade Nick Brenner (Luke Grimes). Nick has been living straight and married to Tara (Marguerite Moreau) who is the daughter of local sheriff Frank Parson (Robert Taylor). It's a moody crime drama indie. It doesn't have enough action. It would have been nice to have an important murder done on screen. The movie is trying to have all the inbetween scenes. It leaves the movie with a moody feel. It would help to have more intensity to give it a more menacing feel. There is a big action sequence but it doesn't look great. This has all the parts but lacks the pace to drive it.

Dont waste you time worst film ive watched in ages

If you like small town drama movies you should find this one good enough. This genre has been done a lot so of course there are some cliches and things you saw before but it still gets by pretty well. There are one or two things which are totally unbelievable and I cannot understand why the director / writer put them there as the movie is kind of realistic without crazy nonsense, so those one or two things are really really stupid, even if he loves his wife he is a man with a normal body not superman. 7/10

Great characters, good plot, but the pacing of the movie was bad!

This film start with the main actor "Nick" burning things to ashes! As turnout, this film is about a former gang of him "Sloan", want to seek vengeance from him after out from the jail! Entire film bored to freaking death! Barely intense scene is, Sloan stab his former boss in a room when Sloan bargaining with him! One night, Nick capture by Sloan gang and Sloan showing Nick wife's ring and telling Nick he already kill her! One of the gang member shot Nick in the body and second one on his head! But he still survive later on! Ridiculous! He drive out a car and chase the gang! He pass out and sent to hospital! He take down a police officer and escape from the hospital! A sheriff and also his father in law "Frank", searching him and found all the death body along the way! Frank searching scene slow like tomorrow never come! Frank eventually found Nick in a room! Nick told Frank with some flashback scene how Sloan get killed! Nick and his friend "Sal" search for Sloan, Sal kill by Sloan gang and Nick kill the guy who previously shot his head! All the killing scene not intense at all! Not even a single car chase scene! Nick drive out a car and found Sloan car crash at the road! Sloan dead on the road! At the very end, Nick want Frank do whatever he will do but Nick say he don't want rot in the prison! Frank drive to the car crash scene! We don't know he already kill Nick or let him go! That's it! A freaking wasting time to watch film!

Very dull movie even having appealing storyline of criminals and robbers. I could not expect such low interesting movie on such subject. Actually I wish to happen something remarkable till end, but my bad luck I never saw that even movie end. No thrill no suspense and even no action you would see. Only three or four times gun shooting happened and movie ends. No action, no mystery nothing. I wasted my time and money on it, so I do not recommend to others. Avoid.

The amount of negative reviews here is astonishing. Expectations people. This isn't the new No Country For Old Men. Grillo performs well, as usual. Luke Grimes is good. Is it predictable? Sure. It's a fun movie to watch. It's well shot. Acting is fine.

Seeing all the bad review and the low rating you might leave this one out. But don't. The actors show a good performance, the locations are fine for this small town gangster movie type. If you like Frank Grillo type of movies, just watch it.

Very slow. starts going then slows again. Wasted most of my night to

Pointless, you never get an explanation of the motives; no finale. Cardboard acting, amateurish direction. Film cut and assembly seems made with an axe or a power saw. An absolute waste of time.
