Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

As seen in the Gold Coast Bulletin Newspaper.The "Force is With Aash Aaron" He stared in Neighbours and the Starter Wife with Debra Messing and directed his own feature films I.C.U and Vigilante. But if Gold Coast's Aash Aaron went to make a movie about his life he says it would be the next Star Wars saga. "It's the ultimate underdog movie" he laughs. "And its about a far away galaxy much like where I'm at in my head most of the time." Aaron also jokes that he would be played by actor Jason Statham, whose credits include The Bank Job and Snatch. (Yeah he wishes!!!) Aaron's new film I.C.U, a thriller about a sadistic voyeuristic killer stalking the city, was screened at Gold Coast's Film fantastic at Robina Event Cinemas last Friday. Before I.C.U and moving to Queensland Aaron was an actor in Melbourne 15 years ago playing small roles in TV shows. Academy, Time Trax, In Pursuit of Honour , and Pacific Drive. Now he's turned his attention to directing films.

Vigilante Article: "Outlandish in Paradise" Outlandish in Paradise Coast style on loan for movie by Renee Redmond film industry reporter.A FLASHY $286,000 sports car and an exclusive jewelry shop were on loan to local film makers this week, giving them an ideal backdrop to shoot their $1.1 million feature film Vigilante.A 30 strong film crew set up in Surfers Parade, Broadbeach, focusing on the lead character Luke (played by Robert Diaz), his diamond shop and his flashy black sports car.The film written and directed by Aash Aaron, will be shot around Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and The Spit over the next three weeks. It is being produced by Aaron's Gold Coast production company Outlandish Films. Diaz said funding for the revenge-style film has been raised through private investors who wanted to put their money into a rewarding project. "We'll be talking to distributors in Australia and LA next week and we are confident it will make the big screen," he said.The film should be ready for release between April and May next year. "We're pioneers for the new Australian film industry, making movies that are marketable and profitable," said Diaz. "A lot of film makers make movies they want to see but we're making what the audience wants." Diaz said they were already talking about making a sequel to Vigilante and encouraged people to get behind the local film industry. "The Gold Coast has welcomed us with open arms and we want to bring more international films to the coast because there's no better place to make movies", he said. Diaz said Gold Coast businesses had been extremely generous, providing them with locations as well as flash cars, jewels and costumes. "James Frizelle's Audi Centre Gold Coast lent us their $286,000 Audi R8, which is my car in the movie," said Diaz.Frizelle's sales manager Nathan Grumbleton said the new car was one of about 20 of its kind in the country, but the company was happy to lend it for the movie. Broadbeach's Amore Exquisite Jewellery shop In Surf Parade also obliged, allowing cameras to take over their shop yesterday and actresses to wear their jewels.Owners Rodney and Anne Lobb said they were excited to be part of the project. "It will be great for the Gold Coast so were happy to get involved," Mr Lobb.

I'm not sure who the people giving this 8 and 9 are, but they didn't watch the same movie I did. So, what can you expect.The acting is B grade (or lower). The sound is terrible (I think every punch in the movie has the same sound). Colour is off. The writing is poor and unbelievable. But, worst of all, the plot sucks.And that's really the most important thing in a low budget movie. You can put up with bad acting or bad sound, as long as the story is something fresh and new. That's how Mad Max and Saw came about (and to a lesser extent, Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch).But Vigilante's plot is almost a carbon copy of The Punisher, and even then it's not original.If you happen to live in Qld (Gold Coast) you might find a redeeming feature by seeing 'your town' on the screen, but for most people, just watch the Thomas Jane / John Travolta version of The Punisher (which in itself is flawed, but much better).

A low budget action film to be sure, and makes no pretense of taking itself seriously, but good fun for this genre. By far the best things about this movie are Lexie Symon who played Pauline and Robert Diaz who played Luke. Robert Diaz, wow gorgeous eye candy. What a body. I have seen him in other shows and in my opinion is quite a good actor. I would really love to see more of this beautiful person on screen, he is right up there with some of the greats. I do enjoy watching Robert Diaz perform on screen, I really think he is a great actor with great screen presence. I also hope to see a lot more of Lexie Symon who in my opinion has a great future on screen just like her leading man Robert Diaz. Keep up the good work.
