The Flats (2002)
A refreshing surprise!
This film is incredibly well cast, well directed, and well shot.
The story is one we've seen before, but the scenery and characters have a style all their own. The main character of Harper is perfectly played by Chad Lindberg (The Fast and the Furious, October Sky, The Rookie). He gives a moving performance as a drunkin' showboat, who's made one too many mistakes. The understated performances by Sean Christensen, and Jade Herrera are a perfect balance to the over the top antics of Harper. The rest of the cast provide mostly comic relief, but do it with much more timing, and talent than the average indie. Once you get through the first third, the story starts to build momentum, and it doesn't let up, leading to a great finish. Look for this film, and check it out!
