Horror would have been a better first attempt at a film, imo. The budget for making a horror movie tends to be not that expensive, the ideas have more flexibility to transform the narrative into something original, and audiences tend to be more forgiving about the flaws since the genre is well known for its quirks and imperfections. An action film really requires an experienced director for it to not come off extremely generic, unoriginal, and cliche. I'm still hoping the best for any and all independent content creators out there, especially Drinker because I've been following his channel for almost 4 years now, but I still think its important to add constructuve criticism where needed.

I agree maybe a different genre would have been my preference. Along with all the Liam neison films, john wicks, and mr Nobody, this genre feels a little tired out.

(From someone who works full time in the film industry) - It's great to see more people giving filmmaking a go. However, this is a great example of how hard it is to make a decent movie. It's also a great example of how comparatively easy it is to be a film critic versus a film maker. This shit takes a lifetime of dedication to get right. I'm sure this has been and will continue to be a humbling experience for all involved. Please keep writing and keep creating though! Could be worth making a short, or proof of concept and hiring a script editor who's got some decent industry credits to vet the script and concept before going into production. Looking forward to seeing what's next man!

Some critique: Characters. Need. To. Enunciate. I could hardly understand half the dialog lines. Their British / Scottish accents made things worse, not better, because they were very much not the BBC English that Americans are used to. But everybody in your movie needs to understand that speaking clearly, not lengthily, is very important. Half of the scenes that didn't feel great can be saved in the edit with overdubs, but they'll need it. The scene where the Badass Operative's about to enter? It's all wrong. Character should hear a radio voice saying, "you can't go in there, wait for backup" / "it's too dangerous" / insert action-movie trope here. But Main Character? He should be silent. He's got his pistol's magazine out; he's counting rounds. Action, not dialog. Cut to Bad Guys sitting there Guarding The MacGuffin; now we have two POVs and the scene is set. Radio voice ends. Close up to door flying open. Super close-up to the barrel of the Main Character's gun. Fires; either show Bad Guys dropping, or cut to next scene- either way, the audience knows what happened here. The scene with the knife-wielding guy and the Main Character? Needs to be reshot. The men should be almost touching faces; they should be making eye contact. The audience should see everything they're feeling. The way it's shot and cut is awkward. The torture scene? IDK what to make of that, except that it doesn't have the drama it required. What you really want, in a movie like this, is something that feels like the torture scene from Payback. That was classic. Look at the tension, the pacing. Sure, none of your actors are in that league, but most of what made that scene work was the pace, the humor, and the sense of the stakes involved. You don't have much budget. That's fine. Don't do things that require much budget. Use trickery, like not actually showing people getting shot, unless it's absolutely required to make a scene work. Use your writing skills, but don't be enamored with dialogs that take too long; it's better that the film is short but good than that it drags. Frame and explain through action. Keep cuts short. Drive pacing and tension in action scenes by gradually accelerating the cuts (this is a cool trick that's been used in quite a few good movies, such as 28 Days Later). Most importantly, don't lose hope. Most problems can be saved in editing. You know how to do that, and you have help, and you have good taste. It'll be fine!

While I always hope for people outside of the big studios to succeed, I'm not super hopeful here. Drinker and his friends know a lot about good storytelling, but doing an action movie short (even if based on his novels) is probably not the best starting point to show that. As Shawn Coyne likes to say: The pure action story is the hardest to do, since it's extremely hard to innovate it. And I think you can really feel that in this trailer. Well, hopefully I'm wrong. And at least it will not have to make 100 million to break even.

There is actually valid reason for those kinds of trailers. There is certain section of the general audience who wants to know what they are getting before making buying decision. Those "reveals the whole plot" type of trailers cater to those people who do not want to go a movie if they do not know if they will like it. They are picking movie for e.g. date night they rather choose "safe" option instead of some movie they know nothing about. It boils down to marketing and money, naturally studios want to reach a many people as possible. Which is one reason why many movies have more than one trailer, other one usually opens things much more than the other.

Ah, diving into the abyss of this cinematic tragedy, it becomes instantly clear that we're not just scraping the bottom of the barrel here; we're digging a hole underneath it to uncover a new level of mediocrity. Promising an odyssey of narrative depth only to deliver a barren wasteland of incoherence. It's like they've taken the concept of a story, thrown it into a blender with a pint of vagueness, and served it up as a cocktail of confusion. The sheer audacity to parade this montage of disconnected scenes as a precursor to a film is nothing short of a cinematic crime. It manages to achieve the impossible: being so profoundly devoid of substance that it makes a black hole look positively overflowing with material by comparison. Well done Hollywood, you've outdone yourself. That's all I've got for today. Go away neoh.

A problem that no one seems to realize is that the film industry has been completely oversaturated for years. No one can come up with a good story or an original story because it's all been done already. Everything is just a rip-off of something else, and even this guy can't escape that fact.

You mean "cliché" right? Eh, I don't think it's nearly as bad as that makes it seem. It's not a 1992 B-grade vanity project. Besides, it CLEARLY has some type of plot where the characters are there to drive the plot, not BECOME the sole reason for its existence. Maybe there are some well-represented action-thriller tropes present, but they aren't the ones that turn a watchable film into a pile of shit. In fact, there's a reason why those tropes actually exist- people enjoy them. It's not some huge, abstract, pseudo-intellectual head game where you're made to feel stupid by having your every expectation subverted, all while realizing that you were having information withheld that makes the plot veer 180° away. You don't think you're going to watch a James Bond film and actually see Bond be overcome and killed by a random henchman, do you? How about something like Lone Survivor, where you KNOW for an historical fact that all of Luttrell's teammates are KIA? I'm just saying, it doesn't take a wildly original or "never-before-seen" type of film to lead audiences on an enjoyable, satisfactory, gratifying story. We can appreciate things that aren't necessarily ground-breaking, even if we don't want to admit it. I don't think the whole idea of a film trope or "cliché" appearing necessarily means something cannot be good. Besides, the Drinker was only actually responsible for the source material. He wasn't the director or editor of the film.

Bro, this comment made my day. Can’t stop laughing at it. Well played sir.
He already has two strong female leads, but not what the "modern woke Hollywood feminist" audiences expects.
judging from the photos on IMDB, i think there already is a strong female lead

However this goes, it’s one of the greatest and most inspiring accomplishments I’ve ever seen in my life, truly something to behold. Massive respect Drinker, here’s hoping this is only the first of many, kudos!
Yeah i had followed him when he had like 5k subs, after watching his Resident Evil 2 remake vid, made with a shtty mic and unrecognizable voice :D Nice to see how far he came, heres hoping movie is good.
followed him in my other account when he got about 60k sub, but still seeing this in incredible
Same here. I started following the Drinker when he was doing the resident evil series, before he went completely scottish. He gave people what they want. We reward him with our subscription. That's how free market works.
The fact that a KZheadr can get even a small budget short film released gives me hope for the future of filmaking; especially when you think how hard it must be to get into the industry. Good on you, Drinker.
Yeah, I followed him when he was still the _Tea Totaler!_ Beat that! 😜

LOL!!!
Hah! Nailed it.
@debonaire_nerd: Should be: "Well, do ya.... PUNK?"
Horror would have been a better first attempt at a film, imo. The budget for making a horror movie tends to be not that expensive, the ideas have more flexibility to transform the narrative into something original, and audiences tend to be more forgiving about the flaws since the genre is well known for its quirks and imperfections. An action film really requires an experienced director for it to not come off extremely generic, unoriginal, and cliche. I'm still hoping the best for any and all independent content creators out there, especially Drinker because I've been following his channel for almost 4 years now, but I still think its important to add constructuve criticism where needed.
To be fair, having to sit through this short-film would be a horror experience.
Drinker isn't interested in making a good movie or improving his skills as a filmmaker, he wants to make *his* movie that's about a white guy saving the world.
or an action comedy
True, but look at all the movies S. Craig Zahler has written and directed. Low budgets, yet better than 90% of movies with 10x the budget. Though they do all have a bit of horror to them, they are more action thriller suspense movies, similar to this one at first glance. It can be done.
I agree maybe a different genre would have been my preference. Along with all the Liam neison films, john wicks, and mr Nobody, this genre feels a little tired out. There has to be something exceptionally creative in its premise to really shine. John Wick was a bit refreshing with its secret society story-line that I enjoyed.
(From someone who works full time in the film industry) - It's great to see more people giving filmmaking a go. However, this is a great example of how hard it is to make a decent movie. It's also a great example of how comparatively easy it is to be a film critic versus a film maker. This shit takes a lifetime of dedication to get right. I'm sure this has been and will continue to be a humbling experience for all involved. Please keep writing and keep creating though! Could be worth making a short, or proof of concept and hiring a script editor who's got some decent industry credits to vet the script and concept before going into production. Looking forward to seeing what's next man!
You do realize you're talking about a guy who just made his first film, with a crowd funded budget at that, and not a Hollywood sized Film with a 80 to 100 million dollar budget right. I get it, people don't like the guy, but when you look at the comment section, more people are criticizing him more, than the actual trailer. It's no John Wick trailer I agree, but it's not the worst trailer on the internet whatsoever also...

This is the most "put your money where your mouth is" move I have ever seen. Shitting on movies on KZhead is one thing, but to have the balls to put yourself out there and try to do it better is worthy of insane respect. Congrats Drinker!!!!

I love you, CD but this does looks pretty rough; and I’ll say that what looks the most rough about it is the acting. That’s always the weakest link in low budget stuff. As a first time director, I know it’s insanely hard to get the best performance out of your actors.
He wanted to crowd fund £20,000-- don't spit your drink-- but he got 300k. So should be VASTLY better for that, right? Can't fucking wait!

Amazing what 1 man can do between hangovers..
and it's also bad
Ryan Drake's superiors don't understand his methods. He doesn't play by the book but he gets results. If he disobeys orders one more time his chief will have his badge. He wants payback because his best buddy was just gunned down. He was one day from retirement. This is exactly the kind of fresh, unpredictable writing the modern movie industry has been waiting for.
Some critique: Characters. Need. To. Enunciate. I could hardly understand half the dialog lines. Their British / Scottish accents made things worse, not better, because they were very much not the BBC English that Americans are used to. But everybody in your movie needs to understand that speaking clearly, not lengthily, is very important. Half of the scenes that didn't feel great can be saved in the edit with overdubs, but they'll need it. The scene where the Badass Operative's about to enter? It's all wrong. Character should hear a radio voice saying, "you can't go in there, wait for backup" / "it's too dangerous" / insert action-movie trope here. But Main Character? He should be silent. He's got his pistol's magazine out; he's counting rounds. Action, not dialog. Cut to Bad Guys sitting there Guarding The MacGuffin; now we have two POVs and the scene is set. Radio voice ends. Close up to door flying open. Super close-up to the barrel of the Main Character's gun. Fires; either show Bad Guys dropping, or cut to next scene- either way, the audience knows what happened here. The scene with the knife-wielding guy and the Main Character? Needs to be reshot. The men should be almost touching faces; they should be making eye contact. The audience should see everything they're feeling. The way it's shot and cut is awkward. The torture scene? IDK what to make of that, except that it doesn't have the drama it required. What you really want, in a movie like this, is something that feels like the torture scene from Payback. That was classic. Look at the tension, the pacing. Sure, none of your actors are in that league, but most of what made that scene work was the pace, the humor, and the sense of the stakes involved. You don't have much budget. That's fine. Don't do things that require much budget. Use trickery, like not actually showing people getting shot, unless it's absolutely required to make a scene work. Use your writing skills, but don't be enamored with dialogs that take too long; it's better that the film is short but good than that it drags. Frame and explain through action. Keep cuts short. Drive pacing and tension in action scenes by gradually accelerating the cuts (this is a cool trick that's been used in quite a few good movies, such as 28 Days Later). Most importantly, don't lose hope. Most problems can be saved in editing. You know how to do that, and you have help, and you have good taste. It'll be fine!
I hope in the first seconds of the movie the drinker says "Not updated for MODERN AUDIENCES"
There seems to be a strong and independent whamen somewhere in there tho.
No updates?? lol. Had to slip it in the Trailer and show the girl power moment when the little whamen with a show of pure strength stops the knife thrust and holds the large male 3 times her weight off her. Pfft.

While I always hope for people outside of the big studios to succeed, I'm not super hopeful here. Drinker and his friends know a lot about good storytelling, but doing an action movie short (even if based on his novels) is probably not the best starting point to show that. As Shawn Coyne likes to say: The pure action story is the hardest to do, since it's extremely hard to innovate it. And I think you can really feel that in this trailer. Well, hopefully I'm wrong. And at least it will not have to make 100 million to break even.
Its easier to criticize than create
@ginidontthinkso4282 true. but experienced film makers should know better than a youtuber attempting to break through.
I wasent expecting it to look better than the holywood equivalent. The problem is the dialog. . . . Without that it looks great for what it is. But without alot of re shoots how can they erase all that cheesy dialog . . . .

I swear reading the comments are more interesting than watching the trailer 🤣 I couldn't get past the first 10 seconds its all too cringe for me lol

Whoof! Judging by the acting and the dialogue in the trailer making a good movie might be a little tougher than you expected, eh Drinker? Normally I wouldn't judge too much by the trailer alone, but since that's one of your favourite things to do I don't feel particularly conflicted about it.

There is actually valid reason for those kinds of trailers. There is certain section of the general audience who wants to know what they are getting before making buying decision. Those "reveals the whole plot" type of trailers cater to those people who do not want to go a movie if they do not know if they will like it. They are picking movie for e.g. date night they rather choose "safe" option instead of some movie they know nothing about. It boils down to marketing and money, naturally studios want to reach a many people as possible. Which is one reason why many movies have more than one trailer, other one usually opens things much more than the other.

This is somewhere between "OK this actually looks promising" and "Nah this looks kinda shyte", and realistically I think it's a bit of both.

I think they would have benefitted from having a consultant. Finding a legitimate one when you're a startup/indie company is probably tricky, though. It comes off like old school action from the 80s, etc., hunting for one-liners and a 'cool guy' vibe instead of realism. Maybe that was deliberate?
@@dawnfire82 Very true, it's obvious that the Drinker is a huge fan of 80s/90s action flicks and some of the choices here may be by design.

Ah, diving into the abyss of this cinematic tragedy, it becomes instantly clear that we're not just scraping the bottom of the barrel here; we're digging a hole underneath it to uncover a new level of mediocrity. Promising an odyssey of narrative depth only to deliver a barren wasteland of incoherence. It's like they've taken the concept of a story, thrown it into a blender with a pint of vagueness, and served it up as a cocktail of confusion. The sheer audacity to parade this montage of disconnected scenes as a precursor to a film is nothing short of a cinematic crime. It manages to achieve the impossible: being so profoundly devoid of substance that it makes a black hole look positively overflowing with material by comparison. Well done Hollywood, you've outdone yourself. That's all I've got for today. Go away neoh.

For someone who talks shit about Hollywood for a living, I'm honestly not surprised he inevitably had a "fine I'll do it myself" moment, only to succeed in creating another incredibly generic movie like everyone else in the film industry. A problem that no one seems to realize is that the film industry has been completely oversaturated for years. No one can come up with a good story or an original story because it's all been done already. Everything is just a rip-off of something else, and even this guy can't escape that fact.

Besides, it CLEARLY has some type of plot where the characters are there to drive the plot, not BECOME the sole reason for its existence. Maybe there are some well-represented action-thriller tropes present, but they aren't the ones that turn a watchable film into a pile of shit. In fact, there's a reason why those tropes actually exist- people enjoy them. It's not some huge, abstract, pseudo-intellectual head game where you're made to feel stupid by having your every expectation subverted, all while realizing that you were having information withheld that makes the plot veer 180° away. You don't think you're going to watch a James Bond film and actually see Bond be overcome and killed by a random henchman, do you? How about something like Lone Survivor, where you KNOW for an historical fact that all of Luttrell's teammates are KIA? I'm just saying, it doesn't take a wildly original or "never-before-seen" type of film to lead audiences on an enjoyable, satisfactory, gratifying story. We can appreciate things that aren't necessarily ground-breaking, even if we don't want to admit it. I don't think the whole idea of a film trope or "cliché" appearing necessarily means something cannot be good. Besides, the Drinker was only actually responsible for the source material. He wasn't the director or editor of the film.
Feel the same. Will watch it. Who knows.
It’s an action film designed for fun and realism.
"Fine. I'll do it myself." - The Critical Drinker
Nice work Drinker and RO production team. Looks great, clearly a lot of care and thought went into this. Disney and WB are you paying attention?
I bet this is a really decent flick, Your cinematographer looks great, and the LUTs your colorists are setting look good ... Be careful of your sound edit ... it's the only thing that's maybe cheapening the trailer. (I am responding to all the armchair critics giving their opinions) It's an often overlooked detail that can lift a production the last mile over the finish line and when not done well will give the whole production a cheap malaise. Nice work though, I am looking forward to analyzing your story for the apparent great understanding of structure and arch.
Let's start a dollar investor army to make kick ass movies that surpass anything folly wood is doing. This reminds me of Act of Valor and Sound of Freedom. If you haven't seen those, go watch.
@@3DAragonthis looks worse then the most shill Disney content 😂😂😂 How you complain about WB and Disney and make what looks be just ass ? I hate WB and Disney as well and I’m a drinker fan, but this looks ass
Yep. Major studios are watching. Watching and thinking 'our output may be dire, but at least it's not as hilariously awful as this crap'. Unless Drinker was purposely going for Z-list, straight to charity shop (where it will sadly remain) witlessness. On the other hand... He may be a stealth agent for Hollywood, creating something so colossally awful people will run back to Disney in droves 😂😂
I am not a "Sound Guy" ... but I imagine the voice work needs to be a bit more "softened" to kill the Hot Mic sound to them and the Background score needs to be lowered a bit with spikes in the points necessary. (Basically marrying the two more) I am actually a Senior VFX Compositor, but I do know a lot of sound guys and am a bit aware of the process.
ooft.
This trailer emotes about as well as Ben Shapiro's eyebrows.
The fact that you managed to get Mike Dopud on this production is pretty fricken cool! Looking forward to seeing the completed film!
Mike dupod or mike dopud? I’m not being a jerk, I just didn’t know if that was a typo or a different actor
who?
@@MsPhysics22100 Bro, how can you call yourself a geek without knowing who Mike Dopud is? :D His face was all around in a lot of movies/TV shows in minor roles. Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atalantis, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Forward Unto Dawn, Phantom Protocol, Man of Steel, Days of Future Past, Deadpool 2...
@@tolnaijani He appears to play the big baddie. He actually had several bit roles in Stargate SG1, SGA and a recurring character in season two of Stargate Universe.
I'm assuming that is the actor I saw and thought- I KNOW THAT GUY.
Well done for taking a brave step into this field of entertainment, I think everybody is hoping this turns out really well.
I want you to know brother, that no matter what happens with this, I still love you for who you are and all that you do! Got to be honest though and tell you that I almost fell asleep during the trailer. Can't wait to see it though.
"I want you to know no matter what I love you for who you are and what you do" This is mental bro you're not his mommy 💀 what the fuckkkkkkkk CD raised a veritable army of the most noncritical unthinking sheep and leads them now...
It's hard to make this type of movie without a big budget. Probably not a best genre for the beginners.
No sign of THE MESSAGE 😂 excited for a movie for the first time this year 👏🏻👏🏻
What? So a lead female who has an abusive father, runs away, joins the military and becomes a top elite forces operative sounds fresh and "Message" free?
No sign of a decent movie either.
Great work to everyone that worked on it and thank you to everyone that donated.
I love drinker and wish him all the luck in the world, but it looks like not my cup of tea. If it turns out sub-par hope he’ll learn the right lessons and improve it in the next projects. We need independent movies, the more the better.
While not my taste I applaud the effort and will support this. Great job in making your dream a reality 💪
Binged the series on audible a few years back. Fair play on this achievement! Looking forward to it 🤙
I’m calling it now Drinker is gonna do a movie with Neil Marshall one day
huh? like a sextape or something? I mean it's possible but I don't think Neil Marshall is gay.
One thing I can say is Critical Drinker fans aren’t ass kissers 😂😂
There are two types of drinker viewers: "movie critic" crowd and "antiwoke content" mob. And you can guess which crowd would actually criticize his movie.
@@thegrunbeld6876 this.
Gollums eventually turn on thier masters
is this real or is it satirical? because it looks like crap.
Looks fantastic Drinker!! Good luck to you xxx
