Campbell Scott's "Off the Map" was a relatively entertaining film in the Indie fashion. The colors and grain amountage were top-notch, creating a deeper picture and a very fluid film. I entered this film at Sundance only hoping to see Sam Elliott and Joan Allen on screen in an indie, but the film turned out in an unexpected way. It is true, the film was slow and a little long, but it did have some emotional and positively dramatic moments that were not frustrating to watch. Some of the acting was a bit below par, but Joan Allen and Sam Elliott did the best they could do. If it had been tied together a little bit smoother, I would say that this was a true moment at Sundance, but in fact, it shined for being imperfect. All I ask for in an indie is something different and here they tried to make the best of the movie for what it was. The acting and cinematography are definately worth watching and there isn't anything better than spending a weekend watching these types of films. Overall, I'd like to say that I have seen a few films like this before, but this one would probably be the best of that category. Besides its somewhat slow pacing, this film is definately not hard at all to watch, and in fact entertaining, so see it if you can.
