The premise of this film was more than adequate. The actors were adequate.The body of writing was not. At all.He stands there, his back faced to her. She runs a monologue about how jealous she was of his wife. Not only is the whole long-monologue-to-a- person's-back thing REALLY teenage-soap-opera corny, but every single one of her lines in the speech was forced. It sounded like she was reading a script, not saying it from her heart - and it wasn't the fault of the actress. I was actually impressed by her delivery, because the lines were just really, really bad.And it's like that throughout every important part of this film.When the brother is preaching to his communion of teenagers? YIKES. Just wow.Screenwriter needs to go back to the drawing board with how he writes dialogue. He sucks. Bad.Everything else about this film was alright. Actually, everything else was way above average for a small-budget film.4/10

Godspeed is a true independent film, Robert and the rest of the cast have done a fantastic job making a beautiful piece of art. Not only did the cinematography take my breath away, but also each character showed true. While the subject matter does make one uncomfortable at times, it shows a problem that is ignored in society and is one that should be addressed. I would also like to give a huge compliment to Cory, Robert, and Joe on their character development, as an audience member I felt true compassion for each character. This movie is one that I am very excited about adding to my collection and being able to enjoy more of these filmmakers and actors work. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys films that make you think days afterward. However I would not recommend this to children and younger teens based upon subject matter.

This is an amazing film, hard to believe this is not a big budget picture. What little the story lacks is well made up for in other areas. The production quality and outstanding cinematography alone are enough to enjoy the movie, as absolutely beautiful images flow throughout the picture. I can't wait to see it on the big screen. The professionalism of the experience is even more embellished by the veteran performance by Joe McKelheer. Joe's acting ability is truly underrated and deserves note here. He manages to pull you in to the storyline by being such a believable and relatable character. Truly a top notch production. Watch and enjoy.

I've watched quite a few movies in my life, so when I say that this one was by far one of the worst I've seen (that was actually made to be good) it's not an understatement. The whole movie, I thought, was pointless unless there was some ambiguity that I didn't comprehend while gouging my eyes out every time the antagonist spoke. The end was all screwed up and I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone unless you like meaningless dramas. I know there is probably a theme, but the story had so many things going on with the main character that I couldn't tell. Don't watch.This is the half with spoilers, more like questions that I would LOVE to have answered. Like one, why on Earth did the director think that Tim deserved to get his head beat in, while Luke got the easy way out with a shot to the head by who? HIS SISTER. uhh, I'm pretty sure that Charlie was the one who's life was completely ruined when the guy killed his family, shouldn't he be the one doing the killing? And not just a headshot. The way he treated his sister/friend and Charlie, I thought he deserved at little bit more brutal of a death. Just my opinion
