Amateur movie with Big budget

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

After reading the reviews I was not expecting much from this movie. I will admit I was just watching it because I watch anything with Christian Kane in it. So I was very pleasantly surprised. I have always enjoyed his acting, but he blew me away in this role. How can an actor make you fall in love with such a horrible character? Some actors that portray characters like that can make you feel some sympathy or empathy for the character, but CK had a way of portraying Billy as such a lovable, evil character. When it was over all I could think was "only Christian could take what would have been a really bad movie and make it enjoyable." The story was a bit predictable, I mean, come on, we all knew that was his Momma. Some scenes were hard to watch, but really not that gruesome. There were some pretty suspenseful scenes toward the end that had me yelling at the computer screen - really I was yelling at Betty for being dumb. lol I don't understand why people have said they were confused by the ending. Billy told you what was going on very plainly: he was right where he said he was going throughout the movie. Not much about this movie really shines except for Christian's portrayal of Billy. Even a mediocre movie could not hide CK's talent. I do believe it is a must see for any Kaniac.

I can understand what director K C Bascome was trying to create, but it didn't quite hit the target, at least for me.All the characters were very well delivered, the acting was excellent in that context . . . but the character development was overdone, and at a certain point it just became laboriously slow and plodding.It's unfortunate, because with tighter directing and more overall plot cohesion, this could have been a fine piece of work, but the film doesn't quite get there.The ending in particular seems to be uncoordinated, almost as if thrown together ad lib during the final editing. Perhaps the original script / screen play had elements that weren't effectively communicated.In summary, great concept, excellent acting . . . but overall, the film itself just didn't deliver the potential that this film could have been.For any Hide fans out there, sorry folks, that's my honest opinion.

If you want to believe in this movie and enjoy it you will need two things- two things you should have before watching any movie; fresh eyes and no expectations. By fresh eyes I mean not. And by no expectations I mean not expecting too much of an actor and assuming something about them because of a previous role you've seen them in. If you do this then you will be able to form your own opinion.This film was by no means a Tarentino rip off and does not try to be.The script is fantastic, I especially loved the banter between Christian Kane's 'Billy Ray' and Rachel Miner's 'Betty' in the opening scene at the diner. This very easily could have been an ill-fated love story, taking queues from Bonnie & Clyde. But there is a bigger picture to consider- karma. At first it seems Billy is having trouble running from the law because he had learnt from his mistakes and didn't want to make any more. We later find out that the story we're seeing is a version of Billy's own Hell, in which he tortures and kills the ones he loves. This only becomes clear at the end of the film- a surprising twist but perhaps more could have been given away to let the audience know that what we were watching was not in fact the truth.Before this film I had never heard of Rachel Miner or seen her in anything (except for a small stint as a demon in Supernatural- not enough to form any opinion of her acting ability) but I thought she was great in this film. I had no issue with her Southern accent. The thing I loved about her performance was the amount of excitement she gave Betty. Betty was excited about life, it may not be the best life and she's seen a million dirt roads, but that excitement in her voice and on her face never fades.Christian Kane was brilliant in this film. I've never seen a performance of his I didn't like, but this one in particular really blew me away. He commands attention as Billy, whether he's holding a gun or not you want to know what he's going to do. I personally love unpredictable characters like Billy who is having a normal conversation one minute and shooting up a storm the next.I really liked Hide, but the one thing I would change is the sudden ending and plot twist. It ends too soon and doesn't give the audience that small amount of time to register what has happened while it's still happening. But apart from that, I found this film to be a great one. If nothing else, watch it for the on-screen dynamic between Miner and Kane.

Hide was a very unique film; a mixture of both Romance and Horror. The actors were excellent (especially Christian Kane and Rachel Miner--a lot of chemistry) and they were what really made the film. The beautiful and desolate scenery in Argentina definitely added to the overall effect. The only problem with the movie (if it can be called a problem) is the convolution at the ending. It becomes a little difficult to follow near the end, but with a great deal of attention it is understandable. Of course, there is nothing wrong with a movie that forces you to think about it
All and all I think it is definitely worth seeing; Not a cookie-cutter movie.
