Lead actor Austin Holmes along with his supporting cast consisting of Zach Anderson, give a compelling performance filled with drama, action, and a tad bit of comedy. The plot of the film is directed around the validity of Holmes' "stats." In response to this post, Holmes and Anderson try to make clear to their "audience" that they need to "check his stats."
The repetition of this phrase really gives the movie meaning, a meaning the viewer won't forget.
Now let's get to the grades:
PLOT
3 out of 5- I really understood what the two boys were trying to get across, the problem is, I think I understood about 9 times during the course of the video. I feel like there was a tad bit of existential angst in the script, and I believe that carried over to the plot. All in all, it was a good start for Check My Stats Films.
ACTING
4.5 out of 5- A true awe-striking performance from lead man Austin Holmes proved to his readership that he in fact, does know how to act. His mix of strong words and emotions paired with his overpowering physical actions truly want to make anybody who watches this piece of film to go "check his stats." Although Zach Anderson doesn't bring to the table what Holmes does, he establishes himself early as the "Crunching King," in this case, the man behind the man.
CAMERAWORK
1 out of 5- Very weak audio and a shaky hand manning the camera. Quite unfortunate. It's definitely something Check My Stats Films can work on.
PROPS
4 out of 5- In order to establish himself as a "number-cruncher," Zach Anderson plays the role of the geeky-genius type, and does so through the use of his 1970's eyeglasses and his handy calculator. Well done, I must say. In Holmes' case, the "hawk" and gel helps the reader understand just how high his stats are, something he wanted to make clear. That is not all Holmes is sporting though. The Cyclone has spotted a scarf that Holmes appears to be wearing throughout the entire video, a scarf that is known to represent Mohammed Talib/Matthew Talley's regime. Could there be a link between Check My Stats and Mohammed Talib?Not a bad first film, but there's room for improvement. The Cyclone has no information on when "Response to the Cyclone" will be released on DVD.
I believe that certain anonymous figure (who at the time had probably not figured out he could use his name) was implying the tool-ish-ness of a certain narrator when he couldn't find the words to express himself. Of course, this was likely intended to draw attention to the fact that Austin has no control over how insanely successful his dad is. To the fact that "stats" rely on actual accomplishments, of which this narrator has none.
