The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Captivatingly told story of pain, deception, and the struggle for life. Makes you take a hard look at the darkness within your own humanity. Beautifully shot with actors who bring truth (flaws and all) to their stories.

Very Dark subjects and intense driven moments by the characters were delivered very well. Do not attention to the unnecessary negative reviews. This is one of the best indie films that I've seen with great execution over some of the larger budget Hollywood films.

Very solid independent film exploring the gritty behaviors of Louisiana characters. Some people are only use to one way drama stories which is why they don't give this a chance. 1 Buck attempts to put you in the character's position without doing too much in the same vein as what some people would do in real life behind closed doors. It's a little dose of reality which some people can't handle at times. Lead character Harry played by John Freeman establishes the character behavior very well. Also, strong gripping highlights from actress Katie Ryan as Amara and a wonderfully fierce performance by Will Green as Jordan in addition to the other excellent ensemble completes director Fabien Dufils intense visual efforts. Definitely recommend for open minded audiences.

It's not really my type of thing as lots of crime and sex occupies the screen. But apart from the 1 buck actually has little to do with the actual story, the form of tracing a 1 buck from beginning to end does feel something new. The ending's got an interesting little twist though. Interestingly as Harry has killed the serial killer, he gets killed by the drug dealer as well, simultaneously when the police came, and they don't seem surprised at all to him being killed. So it's very likely that the police has ordered the drug dealer to kill Harry. Please let me know if I'm wrong. Altogether, it's really not so bad a movie to see but the rate is exaggerated. 7 to 7.5 would be neutral.
