Gripping story with well-crafted characters

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Mark Twain fans might be slightly disappointed by the portrayals of their favorite characters but it's best to see it as more as a modern day homage to the books than anything else.Also a heavy dose of crude humor, it's a comedy of errors first and formost more so than the epic adventures of the books it is inspired by. Set in present time our dear Huckleberry Finn is a ex con and Tom Sawyer is his childhood friend who ended up becoming a police officer, albeit for no noble reasons.Kyle Gallner is always good and he is definitely the best actor in this film and delivers a lowkey but very good performance as Huck, Adam Nee is entertaining as Tom but his character is pretty one dimensional... But so are most of the other characters.After seeing Stephen Lang being absolutely brilliant in 'DON'T BREATHE (2016)' I must say I was a little let down by his (too) mild performance in this one.But overall the performances are good enough.There were a couple times where I thought they should have wrote this or that differently in the script but overall the plot is also good enough.So yeah overall, no masterpiece but... good enough 6.5/10.

I had seen the trailer several months before and patiently waited for its limited theater release. I was not disappointed.The music and visuals make an excellent first impression; the first and last shots of the film are stunning. Once the plot developed, I began to appreciate the subtle humor and eccentric style. The actors are phenomenal and clearly care about their contribution to the film. An unpredictable story simply adds to the joy of it all. I do not believe there is anything I dislike about this film.It is clear this movie's low ratings are given by people who do not enjoy modern adaptations of classic literature, nor understand or appreciate the unique, eccentric style it embodies. This is completely understandable.Regardless, 10/10.

Hilarious. Heart felt. Exciting! I love this film because it is not like anything I've watched before! But also the way it is able to make you feel like you are part of the "band". It is a must see in my opinion. Just hilarious, very witty, thrilling! Great directing and great cast! Keeps you on the end of your seat throughout the whole movie! Also has great one liners that will stick with you. I cannot stop raving about this film! It has unexpected twists and turns! I love it love it love it! You can relate to the characters and makes it feel timeless. I cannot wait till it is on DVD to watch it again! I feel like I am just going on about this but if you get the chance to watch it please do! It is original and a gem just like the treasure they are on the hunt for.

This could have went so wrong. I'm thinking of when they did this in Hook and turn Peter Pan into an adult, but Band of Robbers works really well.The acting was superb. So was the writing. From the moment you see Huck Finn and Tom on the screen you got the feeling of two dudes who never out grew who they were as children and it was fantastic.Tom and Huck still looking for treasure and adventure and they seem not to care about who gets in there way.As a whole, the movie was a great expedience to watch. It was a quirky funny and a little dark.
