Latest Review of Slow-Burn Psychological Thriller ‘Bad Frank’

Movie-Blogger.com have just released a review of ‘Bad Frank’. Below is an excerpt fromm the review regarding Russ’s performance, with a link to the review in full underneath.

” I thought Russ gave a scene-stealing performance. The character looked extremely menacing and a little uncontrollable, which was perfect for the part. Russ was brilliant and seemed to relish the role, it came across that way on-screen. Russ has got bright future ahead of him and given the right role could really do well for himself.”

The Hollywood Outsider Review: “The Projectionist.”

1598740_675449859164705_1312977485_o

There is a new, in-depth review of “The Projectionist” out today via “The Hollywood Outsider.”

“As the tortured lead, Russ Russo injects Jacob with just enough emotion to enable us to relate, even as things begin to spiral out of control. He is the absolute heart and soul of the film, and his performance thankfully lives up to the task. This is not acting on the level of exaggeration, this is a carefully restrained portrait of a man whose fragile mind has no concept of its own fractured state. The reels of film nor the pinch of the needle are enough to free Jacob from his personal hell, though try he does. Russo’s performance reminds one of a more low-key PTSD suffering Travis Bickle.”

Brave New Hollywood Review: “The Projectionist.”

New review out for “The Projectionsit” via Brave New Hollywood.

“The Projectionist” is a heartbreaking, hard-hitting film that imprints on the soul. The bond between screenplay and photography successfully paint a cold, hopeless world to which the hero must adapt. Within these gray, shadowy confinements the film also showcases a heart and compassion for its subject.”

About “The Projectionist.”

Battling insomnia & undiagnosed PTSD, Jacob Nics (Russ Russo) a war veteran works nights as a projectionist at a decrepit theater. While struggling to adapt to civilian life, he soon finds himself tangled in an inescapable web of seduction, addiction, & violence.

Director: Ryan M. Kennedy – Starring: Russ Russo, Natasha Alam, Kiowa Gordon, Robert Miano & Doug E Doug.

“His empty eyes gaze in anguish at the few people willing to acknowledge him, and his voice has the halting cadences of someone who has forgotten the basic tenets of human interaction. It is a fascinating and devastating feat of acting.”
