Greetings from DoWnUnDeR. Unfortunately I must agree with finetunes on this one. It is a second rate, discombobulated mess. Perhaps the class of '21 here has much higher standards than the class of '14 but this is a disjointed, unfunny and ridiculously scripted second rate college production. Written and produced by the star of the show, it's probably a self financed ego run and, no offence Mr. Mahoney, but handsome, romantic lead? Unfortunate but true, you're never gonna cut it in that field my man. Script and cinematography is spasmodic, uneven and character development is non existent. I am still unsure of whom some of the "hotties" are or how they were involved or how, why and where some of the beatings occurred. The dialogue is completely forced and unrealistic. A big disappointment because I saw the reviews and planned my evening around my love of a potentially humorous film noir and this ain't no Maltese Falcon.

Weak acting and script, nothing more than a college drama class effort. Tries passing tedious dialog for comedy. I won't spend any more time on this review. Go watch a true classic film noir to satisfy any Sam Spade itch you might have.

Mike Case in: The Big Kiss off. Good, fun stuff! If you like good old fashioned Humphrey Bogart type Private Detective movies, you should definitely watch this. And even if that's not your thing, no problem because it's still worth watching! What this movie does is brings something fresh to that sub genre. This movie has a really great comedic aspect to it. Lots of wit. It has a fun storyline. "The Big Kiss Off" is the type of movie that is extremely engaging right from the get go which is important for this style. And one of the great things about this is that they clearly embraced their independent film making freedom! Something not enough independent film makers do today. This is the kind of movie that really does deserve some attention. It is available on Amazon Prime for anyone who is subscribed to that platform. Give it a chance and see what you think.
