What Independent movies are all about!
Ok, so there's no big stars in it and sometimes you can tell its low budget, but the story WOW! If you're a fan of stuff like DaVinci Code, or Angel Heart or "secret history" stuff you'll love this. It has a really unique combination of combining the post-apocalyptic desolation of Detroit with philosophical conversations. I never heard of any of the actors but almost all of them are very good, and none of them are bad. It's also great to see black actors playing everything from thugs to architects and reporters. If you're a Detroiter, a fan of REAL indie films, or mystery/supernatural movies you'll LOVE the Ghost of Saint Aubin
WE ARE ALL HOSTAGES
This story takes place in Detroit with a plot and subplot. Our Ex-con (Alan Bradley) falls in love with Nicole Saint Aubin (Ashlee McLemore) who then disappears. Alan enlists the aide of a boring pompous psychic Dr. Akbar (Joel Mitchell) a man who stress tests his camel hair jacket as he searches for clues to the past and an acting school.
Meanwhile Benjamin Banneker Smith (Joel Steingold) is greasing the palms of local politicians in order to build Saint Aubin complex a collection of futuristic retail stores, office buildings, and condos in the middle of downtown Detroit. The film was slow and virtually no action. There was no ghost horror and the drama was bad. Classified as a science fiction, it is hardly that. Most movie watches won't make it past 3 minutes of the pretentious talk of Dr. Akbar, a man who apparently learned everything he knows about the occult from watching Saturday morning cartoons.
The two tales come together at the end is a poorly scripted...
