Great New Noir Film
bryandott14 February 2013
I was lucky to catch a special viewing of "A MORASS" Recently that included some of the cast and crew in attendance. The film was made In five days for some kind of competition And I know that it was also made for a little to no money. I find it easy to pick any movie apart no matter what it budget so I choose to be fair. First off I found the story interesting and refreshing. Vincent Van Ommen Did a good great job playing the leading man. He has the right looks and talent I'm sure we will be seeing him in many more productions in the future . The whole cast worked together near perfectly, as well as a Appearance by the Writer Directer near the end.I don't want to give the story away (so I won't )you should see it to enjoy it. The Style of the film was definitely that of the "Film Noir" style, well done with great looking locations & production value.

I will say the only downside's was occasionally it was a bit dark on the faces and they could of used a bit more coverage. I have worked on many films none that were filmed in 5 days, I think the crew did a fantastic job and should be proud of the fine product they have made. I can't wait to see it released. I hear their might be a Commentary track as well when it Reaches DVD release.

Refreshing shade of Noir
kanleystubrick8 April 2013
I have had the pleasure of seeing this wonderful feature from first time feature director Shane Bordas and was completely blown away by the immense production value!

For a next to nothing budget movie it really packs a punch with great use of London locations. It is definitely a lesson for other budding filmmakers out there that you can tell a story and have a great look without the need to spend a ton of money.

Of course not only does it look great but has a great "Noir" feel with a superb twist to the narrative which keeps you hooked in till the end.

Excellent job from the cast especially Vincent Van Ommen as the leading character "Traveller"

The only one thing i found that was an issue was that some of the scenes were a bit dark and possibly could have used a little more light.

Other than that i look forward to seeing what will come of this fantastic director and his production team in the future, as i feel there are more cinematic delights yet to come from them.
