The Worst Film Ever
hyped garbage
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

On the surface Rushlights seems like it is going to be another conman/grifter flick but it delivers so much more. It presents a really solid suspenseful storyline.The basics of the story are these: Billy and Sarah are con men for Los Angeles who go to a small Texas town to claim an inheritance that is not theirs. Of course the town is even more corrupt and twisted than even they are. Aidan Quinn and Beau Bridges are brothers and both are prominent members of the community. It's hard to tell if the brothers are after Billy and Sarah because the smell a rat or just because they are "outsiders" in their town.Overall, Rushlights is a solid suspense drama with a lot of twists and turns. Haley Webb does a great job as Sarah and Bridges is terrific. My favorite performance is delivered by Aidan Quinn. I have been a fan of his for years. I've always liked him in Elementary and he does not disappoint in Rushlights.If you get a chance to catch this film I highly recommend you watch it.
Mark Leeper from the ONLINE FILM CRITICS SOCIETY gives Rushlights a 6 out of 10, compares it to "early Cohen Brothers". While I agree with the Cohen Brothers likeness, my vote stands at a strong 8 out of 10. Rushlights is a solid, at times exceptional thriller. Director Antoni Stutz has a unique, talented eye - you can see right away that an artist is at work. In addition the acting is top-notch, however I think the script is a bit over the top. It'll be very interesting to see what project Stutz picks next, considering Rushlights is his first feature. Over the years, one sees a lot of first timers come and go - in this case, I'm certainly taking notice.Sofia Peterson
Alright, first of all, if you came out to see t*ts and a$$, you should just go jerk off to a p0rn. There are some very obvious male reviews on here saying stuff like, "as a fan of film nudity " and all I read is, "blah blah blah where are Hayley Webb's t*ts? #disappointment" Seriously. Grow the f up! Hayley is out there kicking a$$, making things happen! From a female and feminist perspective, there's nothing more refreshing. Finally a heroine who does more than just cries and waits for a male savior! If you gave Rushlights 1/10 because there wasn't enough lady- flesh, go back your p0rn sites. Rushlights is a very cool, a true modern film noir – to those of you that are serious about film - go see it. BTW: The acting in the movie is exceptional!
Well made film, nice directing, almost good acting, believable (and a little sick) romance, good suspense twists and turns throughout the film.At the end of this film you will not say, "who is going to give me back this time?" Just don't expect the greatest movie ever made but a decent movie for its budget and maybe forget logic questions inconsistencies or plot holes.During the movie the viewer grows feelings of sympathy for the loving couple.Not very disturbing r rated.Recommended time to watch: Monday night
