Piercing Wounds

Yes, yes, yes! A great clean action-romance film to watch with your family! Sometimes it's hard to find a good love story that has a balance. Usually the classic love stories have that conflicting drama that goes back and forth between the guy and gal like the Nicholas Sparks movies. And those films tend to attract the ladies. But this film also adds a nice element of action and thriller to the plot. That's another thing, I thought the pacing and character arch was really good. And there was really good chemistry with the three leads, they all complimented each other greatly. Even though this is an indie film, I give it a 10 because it's not something I've seen before, and I highly recommend it. And some may disagree, but I loved it.

Great action plus great romance equals great movie for date night! Andrew Jacob Brown rights the perfect script here to please both the male and female audience with this sort of love and redemption. Cesar Caolo also steals a few scenes with his performance of Matt, he plays the role with so much conviction. The romance is well done and this movie just brings me back to the great 90's action movies. Andrew Jacob Brown deserves lots of credit for directing and bringing a great balance of drama, action, and romance. He also coordinates the stunts and does a great job. I also felt like the performance of both villains was great.

I enjoy movies that I can watch with my family and friends and not have to worry about the language and the content of the movie. Piercing Wounds exceeded my expectations. I love the action in the movie as well as the loving and caring side of the movie. This has all you need in a good movie, drama, action and of course a little romance never hurts.

I thought the acting and directing was great. Everything was professional and on point. As in life there is always room for improvement, but I am very impressed with the outcome of this amazing family film. It is a must watch in my book. I will be definitely watching this movie again.

Speaking about the 10 star rating, I understand that we judge low budget indie films differently than we do Hollywood movies, but whoever gave this 10 stars must be either the director, one of the cast, or the director's parents.

The only review I read that was honest gave this movie a 1 star rating. They were the only ones who mentioned the horrible wig and weak fighting. And yes, I agree with them when they said that you should not write, direct, and star in your own movie. It's very self centered when you do. You're putting your ego before the movie.

Put you ego aside and let someone else take the lead. It helps the movie because it lets you focus more on directing and it shows that you care more about the movie than your own fragile ego.

I'm a huge fan of action films. And I'm kind of a martial arts buff. I stumbled across this little gem and watched it without a break, as I do with some movies. But this one had a nice story and character arc that I enjoyed. The fights scenes and techniques were really well done. I like the characters, they were very believable and it was cool to see how the three of them all needed something, and how they all full filled each other in the end. The score was pretty cool for an indie film. And the ending was good. It had a nice little flow of emotions, which, I don't really look for because I mostly like action movies, but in this case, it was well done.

My take away, if you like indie films and good acting, and you don't nit pick every little thing in a movie, this is an enjoyable watch.
