Vincent (Emile Hirsch) rescues Roxxy (Zoë Kravitz) from being attacked. She reveals that she's in trouble after her brother's murder. Vincent is reluctantly helping his brother JC (Emory Cohen) start his own garage. JC's girlfriend Kate (Zoey Deutch) helps Roxxy get a job at the bar. JC is unable to let go of violence and Roxxy's trouble follows her.

This is a violent crime drama. With a couple of intriguing actors, this seems set for an interesting movie. In the end, the writing is not up to the job and the directing has limitations. It needs to get to the conflict sooner. There are too many filler scenes especially in the first act. The dialogue is weak. Hirsch and Kravitz could have been great but they are allowed to be static. The violence is a little shocking at first but it is nowhere enough to save this.

What a shitty movie. All this movie does is give stupid people bad ideas.

Mindless and unrealistic, Emil Hirsch and Zoe Kravitz shouldn't have lowered themselves to such garbage.

A total waste of good actors talents. I can understand Zoe being new getting experience but Emile? Come on man.

...that makes you think about life. About the choices you 've made and the wrong turns you took, to end up spending your time, watching movies like this one.

But since you can not turn back time, the only thing you can do, is warn other people to stay away.

I was optimestic when I started this movie, I couldn't continue watching, I started forwarding till I assured its an awful movie. and felt too bad.

Acting was below average, fight scene was too bad, characters,, sex, costumes, .. everything was like amateur works. especially when Vincent was back revenge after they kicked his brother, it was pathetic, they just watched him!! and all fell down from the first hit !! come on,, he was a little tiny boy, doesn't even looks strong or tough.

the story was very shallow, however, it could be better. the end of the movie is not logic, Roxxy only lives while she tooks 2 gun shoots, while and she was the worst character in the movie. and how exactly Vincent died, I have no idea, is it that shoot in his shoulder!?

Don't know what all the negativity going on here about this movie being so bad. These people want every movie made to be an Academy Award type film, so if its not then they have personal issues with them. This was a good movie right from the start. It had a great actors and a great story regardless what these negative people said about it. There was a great mixture of drama and action through out the entire film. Great job guys!!

Vincent N Roxxy is a crime thriller from writer-director Gary Shultz and stars Emile Hirsch and Zoe Kravitz in the titular roles with the supporting cast made up of Emory Cohen and (briefly) Kid Cudi. The story sounds a helluva lot better on paper than how Shultz constructs it. Instead of grasping on to the story and themes at hand such as toxic masculinity or uncontrollable rage, Shultz gives a bare bones effort with a script that it is so poorly written, it felt like a first draft.

First off, the film is 106 minutes and feels a half hour too long. The beginning starts strong and bombastic, introducing our titular characters through a car accident in very pulpy fashion. Then the film tries its hand at being a film grounded in realism for the remainder and it fails just as bombastically as it starts. Hirsch plays his role so much like Gosling from Drive that it is hard not to assume Shultz had the film on repeat during the writing process. Vincent is a cold man prone to violent outbursts much like Gosling's character in that film. It worked for Drive, it fails miserably here. Zoe Kravitz is slowly becoming one good actress and for every step forward there is bound to be a step back somewhere and that is where this film comes in. Her performance is lucid and barely there, so much so that you wonder if she was just doing this for a paycheck. No matter how often we can fault the actors, the real culprit here is Gary Shultz.

The screenplay is so under-cooked that it really makes me wonder if this was a first draft and, if so, why the hell was it allowed to be shot? It is an answer I doubt we'll ever know so we can only assume. The script works against itself at every moment it gets. First we're with Vincent and Roxxy as they talk about sticking together despite not knowing one another and then Vincent (who is supposed to be street smart) tells this woman, who was just accosted by some pretty angry gangsters about money she owes, where he is heading and living. It all felt so ridiculous and ill plotted that I almost gave up after seeing that scene come in so early in the film with barely any character development. Furthermore, Shultz then takes Vincent on his own for awhile. He gives him a couple subplots that go nowhere and then sets him up for the finale to finish the main story that was left abandoned after the first 10 minutes. All in all, it's horribly plotted and the ending is one of the worst in recent memory. I'm all for some dark endings but ones that have points and this one didn't. Honestly, this is an ending that is violent for the sake of being violent and is a half- assed attempt at being edgy and dark. It all translates the same: it is rather banal.

Overall, Vincent N Roxxy is one of poorest written films I've seen in recent memory. With Refn's Drive serving as a painfully obvious homage to the film, it is hard to take any of it seriously especially when none of the actors seem like they are into it in the first place. While I do credit Shultz for sticking to his guns, he really should have looked into a rewrite or two before settling on this very murky and muddled vision of something that could have been great.

Emile Hirsch is a great actor, I believed pretty versatile too until I came across this movie. However his stud, tough guy act is a pain to watch, he just seems to never fit the bill nor the part throughout the whole movie, the more I watched the more I wanted to unsee. Maybe there's something about the physical attributes that completely clash with the idea of a character that was perhaps behind his play.

He looks like a teenage, tiny Clint Eastwood version spoof or something like that. It would be hilarious if it wasn't meant to be drama.

The cherry on top for this disaster is the script, the guy who wrote this should be crucified and flogged to a pulp. It just doesn't make any sense drifting between teen-age fantasies and wanna be tough (someday) men.

Came across this movie on Netflix and it gave off a Bonnie and Clyde impression, which as it turns out is not at all the way it went. There's a scene where they discuss how they'd go about robbing a place, but that's as far as the Bonnie and Clyde vibe goes.

The main characters' "meet cute" moment was a typical guy saves girl scenario where the guy is suddenly so inclined to offer the girl sanctuary from whatever it is that ails her. We find out more about her and you kind of realize pretty quickly how the two are going to be connected. Emile Hirsch and Zoe Kravitz are great actors on their own, but together they don't seem to mesh. Their relationship was not really believable and they don't seem to even see each other in their scenes.

I thought maybe I'd missed something, because the plot felt so weak, but no, it really was just kind of a weak plot -- as if the writer/ director were like "ok we'll come back to this part and beef it up and make it better" -- but then they never really went back. The characters didn't really develop or change in any way; they were static and flat. I feel like Emory Cohen's character was supposed to be a comic relief, and while I think he is a great actor (the OA, Brooklyn) here, he was mostly just a token, and his girlfriend was a throwaway. Maybe you're supposed to care about them, maybe a little bit? But you don't.

The real action seems to come up out of nowhere, which I suppose can be true of life because sometimes everything just blows up when you don't expect it...but it doesn't really work well here. Remember when I said the plot was weak and I felt like someone said they'd go back later to beef it up? I think they threw all the beef into the stew that is the finale. These scenes are pretty brutal and violent, and it's like where did this come from?? (Ron Burgundy is coming to mind ...that escalated quickly...)

I'm not going to tell you how to live your life, so watch it if you want. It filled an hour and 40 minutes of my life, and will do the same for you. Don't expect anything great but also don't expect anything colossally terrible. This movie is basically your local grocery store's generic brand version of Drive.

giving this "movie" a one is actually acknowledging that it is worth anything, it does not. almost at mid film me and my girlfriend were the last people in the cinema, 20 minutes later we too left, a first for me, i am an old guy, trust me, i've seen horrible films, but this garbage tops everything else, 100% waste of time, not even 1% is worth anything

At first you think your watching a kinda crappy b movie. And you'll be tempted to bail on it.

But if you stick with it you'll start to enjoy these actors and the cool soundtrack. And eventually all the violence ramps up and ends in a kinda taxi driver inspired climax that I really liked

So all in all totally not a 1star movie as some of these reviews would have you believe. It totally redeems itself towards the end and is well worth a watch.

If you're looking for a good thriller, good actors, and impressive settings check this Indie film out.

Emile Hirsch and Zoe Kravitz have some genuine chemistry.

Has a similar desolate, small town tone as All the Real Girls by David Gordon Green except with startling violence.

The film leaves you on edge the entire time.

Can't wait to see more from this filmmaker.

This film tells the story of a young man who lives in the countryside. One day, as he is driving in town, he discovers a woman who is involved in a car accident. He goes to help this woman, and falls in love with her.

"Vincent N Roxxy" starts out like a romantic comedy, Where the two leads are likable and charming. They convincingly fall for each other, but soon the story turns unnecessarily violent. Even though Vincent is impulsive and resorts to violence, the level of violence shown is not justified. Then the violence escalates, and I had to close my eyes for many scenes. Overall, I wish it stayed a romantic comedy. I would have enjoyed it better.

Vincent (Emile Hirsch) runs into Roxxy (Zoë Kravitz) on a fender bender and saves her from an angry driver with a gun. The two of them have a past and opt not to report anything and take off in Vincent's car. Vincent offer's Roxxy a place to chill out on a remote farm, which she eventually accepts. However, their past catches up with them.

Emile Hirsch was dull and dry in spite having a few action scenes. We know Roxxy is on the lam and her brother was killed, but not much more. Outside of a party, there was any one smiling, just a bunch of grim faces creating mid-action drama until the end when things come together. Most of the film was boring...you know bar fight, where were you when mama died type of stuff.

Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Zoë Kravitz)

Just watched it on TV. What a terrible B-movie and time waster.

This was a movie about violence and revenge and nothing else. Two strangers meet and then a violent bloodbath follows. There weren't any redeeming qualities or any kind of connection between any of the characters. Bad writing, Bad acting, Bad dialogue. The money to make this movie should have been donated to a good cause instead! The movie gets a two for having decent music -- otherwise it deserved a zero!

Vincent N Roxxy is an interesting reboot of 'Boy meets girl', this time around taking place in the hinterlands of Louisiana. The settings feel authentic and so do the performances of the primary actors Emile Hirsch, Zoe Kravitz, Zoey Deutch, Emery Cohen and Kid Cudi.

The film begins in the big city then quickly moves out into the country, and many moments have a city versus country feel, reflected in both the behavior of the principals and the colorful but rough nature of the country locales, plus the finale that I promise not to spoil.

Hirsch is emerging as one of the more reliable workman of his profession and his performance has all the needed angst and depression that his role calls for. Kravitz is excellent (isn't she always) as the city girl who encounters a new flavor of life but finds that some things continue to taste the same, city and country. Kid Cudi, in just a little more than an extended cameo is genuinely menacing and worthy of our scorn.

As a secondary couple Deutch and Cohen really shine. Both continue to emerge with real heavyweight chops in supporting spots. Not only does Cohen look like a natural to play Hirsh's brother but he offers his character in energetic counterpoint to Hirsh's subdued and 'James Deanesque' troubled young man. (I caught Cohen in 2015's Brooklyn and Stealing Cars, as well as 2016's Detour, and truly enjoyed his work each time.) Zoey Deutch has a small but significant role as a country girl and she almost perfectly fits her scenes, especially at her 'tavern' work place. In a short period of time she has presented herself in essential, disparate projects like this film and 'Why Him' and offered the sort of performances that show real range.

I believe that all five cast members cited are still ascending in stature and will probably have many years of memorable offerings. Though Hirsh probably outranks the other players in professional accomplishments I feel he, too, has great stuff before him.

This sort of love story on a near indie budget is a nice place to see a cast working together, demanding solid effort by all so that the project succeeds. In short order you get to know enough about the characters so that they can manage the whole illusion that such a small drama must become, in order to retain viewer interest.

In such a film I always feel there will be a few dangling script issues and maybe minor continuity errors, but here none of that gets in the way of your meeting the characters before you and becoming interested in them and their lives. Though there is a certain predictability to the ending there are a few major shocks that will last with you, after you are finished viewing. You will remember this film.

The soundtrack, credited to Questlove, is well-integrated for the most part and has a few songs in particular that seemed near perfect, based on the action in the foreground. The 'official' trailer has a representative mix of song samples from the movie. It's good enough that it has me looking for a more, in depth summary of the score. I'm still on that project.

I read a criticism of the movie the other day that was just a little too bizarre. The author insisted that the characters and the scenes were simply not believable. Coming from an area that still has a fair amount of 'rural' living going on I can assure one and all that there are people just like Vincent, Roxxie, and all the others in the film, out and about. In fact, there isn't a short supply of those types.

Without spoiling things I must add that there are some moments of extreme violence. If that sort of thing troubles you then you might steer-clear. However, there are many more scenes with crisp acting and a warmly-filmed landscape that will feel as foreign to many 'city' people as the Dark Side of the Moon.

One of my favorite moments takes place on a Ferris Wheel and there are real 'sparks' between Hirsh and Kravitz, the right kind of 'sparks'. A moment of humility between the brothers, near the conclusion also has an almost sweet sort of warmth to it without an over-do. The last five or ten minutes are gripping and surprising enough that you feel the hand of a professional director.

This gritty and provocative film, written and directed by Gary Michael Schultz, combines themes and style from Kurosawa, Jarmusch, and De Palma. Zoe Kravitz is a force as she portrays both damsel in distress and vengeful heroine, on the run from a ruthless gangster (Mescudi, aka Kid Cudi). Emile Hirsch delivers a searing performance as the brooding but well intentioned Vincent. But personally, I feel that Emory Cohen steals every scene he's in, flaunting a dynamic bravado as Vincent's brother JC. This film fights all convention: there is a violent beginning that evolves into an honest and beautiful love story and then it jarringly returns to it's violent roots. It is necessary that directors like this be championed for their singular vision and ability to capture real and beautifully nuanced performances from their actors...both seasoned and comparably inexperienced. If you loved: Ghost Dog (Way of the Samurai), True Romance, or All the Real Girls...you should watch this movie.

I made an account just to post a review here to say how good I think this movie is, don't let the bad reviews put you off. This is one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time. Very few movies have actually shocked me like Vincent n Roxxy, and the cast and crew did a stellar job. Emile Hirsch & Zoe Kravitz also have amazing chemistry in this movie too, their characters relationship through out the film was super convincing and felt very natural. Which makes what comes near the movie's end that much more impactful. I also loved the camera work in this movie, has a lot of very cool one take scenes that are shot impressively. Once again, I think the bad reviews are ultimately steering people away from what I think is a refreshing and very solid project that you can tell had a lot of heart and soul put in to it by not only the writers and crew but also the cast. Don't miss out on a thrillingly great viewing experience, which is Vincent n Roxxy. I'm glad to see this movie is on Netflix which will hopefully get it out there some more, and I hope to see more like this in the future.

If you want to see a new take on an empowering film for women, go see Vincent and Roxxy. It's a fantastic story that will give you laughter, tears and a feeling of fulfillment when you leave the theater. Gary Schultz has brought a new approach to Hollywood and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Directed by Gary Michael Schultz, Vincent N Roxxy is an amazing film. It's a simple story, superbly written, faultlessly directed, and delightfully executed. This is a love story of sorts; love of family, friends, significant others, and money, even. The film is intimate, and you'll find yourselves embracing these characters, faults and all.

My reason for giving this movie ten stars? Half of those stars are for the performance of the actors, direction, soundtrack (provided by ?estlove), and production. The other five stars are for the experience of having watched this film. Not many films have touched me the way Vincent N Roxxy has.

It stars Emile Hirsch as Vincent, and Zoë Kravitz as Roxxy. Both of whom put on an outstanding performance! Zoë Kravitz, however, shocked and amazed! She puts on a jaw-to-the-ground performance at one point in the film, none of us in the theater imagined would take place.

If I had to label the film, I would call it a "hard-boiled romance". Hopefully, Vincent N Roxxy picks up a good distribution deal, and finds a larger audience. It truly is that good.

Vincent N Roxxy is one of the best films that i have watched this year alongside Logan, Brimstone and Headshot. It is also without a doubt the best indie film that I've ever seen, high praise indeed. Emile Hirsch and Zoë Kravitz have great chemistry together and i agree with the other reviewer about Emory Cohen stealing every scene he's in.

As the director Gary Michael Schultz said, this movie touches on a subject matter that sorely needs to be accurately portrayed in American cinema and it does so beautifully.

Vincent and Roxxy is not going to get any gongs at the Academy Awards buy it's a hell of a ride. Tough farm boy saves hard-up ghetto chick, niggly sexual tension ensues, inevitably there's a love scene, the past catches up and the ending is very gratifying. What in god's name is not to like? But I guess stories with twists, sympathetic characters, unlikely interracial love stories and righteous kickass endings aren't what people go in for anymore. Go figure. Anyway, I've given up looking for echoes in this world.

I took a chance on the 10/10 reviewers today because I usually do if they are that mixed. This movie may not be for everyone but for me it was fantastic. This is my first review because I find it terrible that some people can post such awful reviews on movies simply because they didn't enjoy it. When people search IMDb for a movie and see these reviews it ruins a great movie for everyone watching and those who put a lot of hard work creating it. VnR is beautifully shot has great characters who feel real to me and has a slow burn leading to a good ending (in my opinion) that will leave you thinking long after. Congratulations to everyone involved, I will recommend this movie to all my friends. And to the one star reviewers I say this. You should be banned from reviewing movies. It makes me wonder how many other great movies I've missed because of you.

I think if Emile was paid by the word he is the highest paid actor in Hollywood ever. And can we stop saying Zoe Kravitz is a good actress? She's not, she super attractive and exotic looking and most of her career is wearing a crop top and having her dreadlocks cover her face. Emory Cohen as 'JC' his brother, sucks all the air out of the room and literally cannot STFU.

Also, this movie sux. You've seen it and all the stereotype characters in it a million times. I think the only thing that's missing is a redneck stripclub.
