With the rating system in place here, a high rating is generated by people who were involved in the film being the first to rate it. Naturally, people with skin in the game are going to give their project a high rating, so with fewer than 300 or less, the early ratings won't actually be critical of the film.
I couldn't get past the narrator's Baaahston accent, so I tried watching it with the volume down, just reading the subtitles. Apparently, the person , or voice translation software, couldn't understand the lead's accent either, so the subtitles don't make sense. That's not good for the ratings by people who have only viewed the film and have no reason to give high ratings automatically.
The thrust of the story is that the legalization legislation was set up to favor certain people, and makes it impossible for Vince to get a retail license.
This was rated 7.0 on IMDB, and the description and trailer made it seem better than it is. It only cost $1.99 to rent, but it's hardly worth that much ; no actors, no action, bad cinematography, and the backstory is told in three minutes.
The full story isn't really interesting. Vince goes for a deal with Bobby, Bobby's suppliers and Bobby's finance man, and trusts Bobby to check out the 200 lbs of product, then when the product is stolen along with the supplier's van and Bobby can't be found, Vince still doesn't conclude that Bobby set him up.
The way it all plays out us ridiculously unbelievable and everyone stumbles through the final scenes. I won't give it away because that would take more typing and I'm tired.
I will say that any review awarding more than 5 stars is probably a shill review.
