"FISH IN A BARREL, eagerly borrowing from the dark comedy of Quentin Tarantino's RESERVOIR DOGS, is an almost flawless new edition to the caper-gone-wrong, one-set, crime comedy/action genre. What sets this movie apart from the DOGS DV clones is its wispy, broad candor -- so almost-self-referential that one cannot help from smiling, nodding the director's approach to otherwise warmed-over subect matter.Look for fantastic and believable performances from director Kent Dalian ("you've been shooting people a lot." (while holding a cup of Ramen, in tact during a massive shooting spree)) and Jeremy Renner ("It's only been two so far.") Also, Steven Ingle and Arly Jover rock.Big fat reccommendations on this one -- it's fun, it's serious, and then it's fun. If you're into Quentin Tarantino, I think these are the filmmakers to succeed him in hip factor, dialogue, tension, and comedy. FISH rocks!"
This Film Rocks!

"This film is a hodgepodge of rich characters and twisting plots and sub-plots. The mood the film stets is earie, funny and hypnotic. This movie grabbed me from the oppening scene and dragged me by the ankle to the explosive ending. I dug it."
EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN AN INDEPENDENT FILM!

"I loved this movie. My boyfriend got a copy of it from the NY Independent Film Festival, because it won all these awards and he made me watch it with him. At first I wasn't in the mood to watch some boy movie, but I was immediately converted during the opening scene. (Nice opening scene, by the way!) That I can be laughing hysterically while bullets are flying and that they manage to weave a love story into the middle of it all just makes me want to know what this writer/director's next film is...Move over Quentin T. and Guy Ritchie."
"Fish in a Barrel" worth shooting.

"This was a reeally cool surprise. It was a great mix of comedy and drama, and the attitude and tone kept you in the characters' bizarre frame of mind. The director and lead actor is going to develop a rep as the zen master of the underworld. The other leads were great as well. This is worth a look if you want great comedy and tense drama; a kind of bizarre marriage of "Friends" and "The Seven Sammuri"."
Nice Guns
