That was an excellent one.
Captivating movie !
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
As seen in the Gold Coast Bulletin Newspaper.The "Force is With Aash Aaron" He stared in Neighbours and the Starter Wife with Debra Messing and directed his own feature films I.C.U and Vigilante. But if Gold Coast's Aash Aaron went to make a movie about his life he says it would be the next Star Wars saga. "It's the ultimate underdog movie" he laughs. "And its about a far away galaxy much like where I'm at in my head most of the time." Aaron also jokes that he would be played by actor Jason Statham, whose credits include The Bank Job and Snatch. (Yeah he wishes!!!) Aaron's new film I.C.U, a thriller about a sadistic voyeuristic killer stalking the city, was screened at Gold Coast's Film fantastic at Robina Event Cinemas last Friday. Before I.C.U and moving to Queensland Aaron was an actor in Melbourne 15 years ago playing small roles in TV shows. Academy, Time Trax, In Pursuit of Honour , and Pacific Drive. Now he's turned his attention to directing films.
What I really love about Aussie films is their originality.We do our own thing with genre films and add our own flavour.Take ICU for instance, sure Rear Window is an influence, but who has done a film like this before that is about kids spying on people while being spied on.As well as it being a who done it serial killer thriller and black comedy?Vigilante was also an original twist on the revenge film.Luke played well enough by Robert Diaz is a guy punching his way through villains without a real mission because he has no idea who killed his girl friend but because he causes such a nuisance of himself attracts the attention of the bad ass Kazuya Wright who wants to track him down to please his mob boss father. That was Gold if you ask me!Cheers Aash, keep pumping these thrillers out!
Who cares if Aash Aaron's films are low budget? Who cares if ICU & Vigilante are only average films? They got out there didn't they? Both have been sold to worldwide distributors! And that is what makes a successful filmmaker wouldn't you say? Anyone can criticize, but few can actually put their guts on the line! Aash does, and sure his film's to date are only average on the scale, I'm sure like all artists he will get better per film? Was Divici brilliant the first painting he did? I doubt it.Well done Aash, keep at it! WMI am a member of the Gold Coast Film Support Group and proud to join them in their quest to promote local talent, even in their earliest stages.
Having just seen Aash Aaron's other film ICU. At the 2009 Gold Coast Film Fantastic. It reminded me that I hadn't reviewed Vigilante. It also premiered at a Gold Coast Film Fantastic the year before. I really dug this film. Lots of action. Really good story. Loved the actors. And I couldn't believe how they did such a big looking film for such a small budget. Keep writing, producing and directing Ash, me and my crew love your work! Christian Radford was my favorite actor. man this kid can play varied characters. I heard he is in Loyalty which is coming out soon. I'll be looking out for that one! I love how Queensland is hatching a new wave of filmmakers!
