Live Free or Die (2006)

Small town quirky characters and absurd situations. Aaron Stanford's performance, "Rugged", reminds me somewhat of Steve Buscemi, sort of nervous, hot-tempered, puny, and swaggering.I agree with a previous comment that Paul Schneider's character does remind me of Will Ferrell.Not a lot happens in parts of this little movie, but that seems to reflect several independent films.I loved seeing the setting of New Hampshire, since I lived there for a year. The only thing that was missing was the authentic New Hampshire accents.

This movie has two great characters and a cool little story. However- those two characters and their story is enough to take up 20 minutes of film- after we breeze through that we still have an 1:40+ that is unaccounted for in the planning of this movie...I like these characters A lot but what the hell was this idiot thinking stretching their material so thin?? They are only two guys- and not THAT interesting- they would make very cool supporting characters in a REAL movie, but this is more like a pilot for these characters than anything else- the actual movie totally, and utterly sucks from start to finish.This is one of those, I'll keep watching this because it has to get better and it never does kind of movies... It never ever gets better- it's stuck in a rut of idiocy.There are some good scenes so if you don't mind wasting your life and pissing yourself off- watch this, it's almost worth it to watch the 17 and a half minutes of good footage.PLOT: a lowlife criminal in a small town is looking for street cred, he concocts a plan to impress a friend that owns a storage facility in the hopes of landing a security job with them, -that he is one bad mo fo that doesn't take any crap from anyone- but the plan kind of goes everywhere but where it's supposed to...

Another waste of time and money.The disaffected, and smug characters were not interesting or sympathetic in a way that held my interest.Save your time and money.Do the right thing. Give it a pass.I wished I had.I am typing this part to reach the line minimum because I have no interested in blathering on about this turd of a flick.I wish the talent well-chalk it up to experience, and move on.It has Alan Smithee written all over it. There. I think I have reached the minimum amount of lines.

this movie could never have been made by Hollywood because they will never try something new. If you are sick of dumb and dumberer part 7 check this out. paul schneider was in all the real girsl with zooey deschanel and they are back showing they can act in any role because now they are playing quarreling brother and sister. I did not understand why they cast Stanford because comedy is not his thing but maybe they were not going for comedy with him. Paul Schneider is a riot. Fudah Freedlander is a riot. there is a lot to like but most of all it's DIFFERENT If you liked Fargo you will like this. if you like Bottle Rocket you will like this. If you need everything explained to you you will hate it.
