Lazer Team is an outstanding film considering the Rooster Teeth Productions’ resources and their previous no attempts on making something as big as a full length feature film. The film was funded entirely via Indiegogo where almost 38 thousand people donated nearly $2.5 million. The majority of roles are filled by actors from RTP, but there are some more known names among the cast. The main four protagonists are Burnie Burns, Gavin Free, Michael Jones and Colton Dunn, who is a professional actor. The director is Matt Hullum, who has done many projects inside of RTP. The whole film also has great score made by Jeff Williams and Trocadero. The only bad things are a lack of professionalism as a big part was done by people with little

Firstly, I would like to say that overall the film by all standards was not at all bad. When one thinks of a foreign film you might think of a really bad, poorly edited, or low funded film. With the major reason for it being foreign, the obvious reason being that it was not made in Hollywood. However, this movie takes all of the preconceptions about foreign films and turns it upside down. With a budget of nearly 5 million dollars (Instructions), and only being filmed in two locations in Mexico the movies overall quality is actually quite astounding. Furthermore, I would like to commend the directors and editors on doing Hollywood level job, creating and making the final product as it is better then something you might see in a low budget jaws knock off made here in the United States.
In his directorial debut, Jordan Peele steers away from his comedic reputation to make the suspenseful thriller that is Get Out. The film is very intriguing and keeps you guessing and on the edge of your seat throughout from start to finish as you follow Chris Washington, a young african american man, who travels with his white girlfriend to her family’s house when he uncovers a dark secret. For the typical fan of horror/thriller, it's a must see.

On a surface level, the plot of the film has the ability to come across as quite simplistic in scope, an obvious labeling of privileged American whites as racist; however, a deeper analysis reveals careful consideration to

Overall, I enjoyed the film. My biggest issue was the formatting of the film and the medium that it was available. It would have been more enjoyable had the film not been broken up into segments that needed to load. Had the movie been available on DVD or in one longer segment, it would have been easier to watch. The continuous breaks in the action of
The United States has become one of the largest empires in the world for the production of agricultural products. In order to keep the rapidly increasing demands of the consumer met over the past sixty years technology has had to revolutionize itself from the inside out. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the “Averaged annual U.S. retail Choice beef price ($/lb)” has doubled since the early 2000’s.

Throughout the film, I noticed how each element of the film was well thought of. Since they shot on location and used clothes that were popular at the time they filmed it, they were able to accurately show the intended setting of the plot. The songs that were composed
Pretty much everything about the film is embarrassingly bad, starting with the acting from B-list stars like Christian Slater, Tara Reid, and Stephen Dorff.
