Badsville's an ugly place, but the acting/directing chops in this indie film brighten it considerably.

Rated: 3/4

Forget the cheapo title, "Badsville" is a powerful, deeply felt crime drama about letting go of the past and getting out of Dodge - before it's too late.

Simone Cilio's score is rich and wide-ranging, perfect for the seedy mise-en-scene.

Rated: 3/5

Although it may seem to hit familiar notes, Badsville will surprise you with a tender and tragic story amidst a harsh backdrop.

Brutal, unflinching. Hard to watch but exceptionally well done and on a shoestring budget.

The equivalent of a Lifetime movie for men. Well directed, but hits only very familiar notes.
