The Dust Storm (2016) watch online HD

... from an IMDb reviewer with 1200+ reviews under his belt who didn't join the IMDb yesterday just to leave behind one single, glowing review about a film he either worked on or, possibly, wanted to work on.

So I volunteered.

In the classic "credo" of the Indie, writer/director Ryan Lacen has created a nice and friendly little romantic tale about two ex-lovers who have a chance encounter (long after their breakup) in Nashville, and then spend the rest of the film exploring both their old and their potentially new relationship against the backdrop of that famous city.

If you are a film buff, you could think of it as TWO FOR THE ROAD (1967) lite. In fact, very lite.

On the plus side, this is a cute semi-sweet romp against an energetic backdrop with the occasional (very occasional) musical interlude. Of the two stars, who together take up some 99.9% of the screen time, Colin O'Donoghue seems a little awkward and uncomfortable from time to time, whereas Kristen Gutoskie -- blessed with a rubber face like an early Jim Carrey -- shines and gives every indication there could be a major star in there waiting to break out.

The editing is also clever, and is used effectively to portray how people actually "think" about their own past and present, so props for that.

On the negative side, this project can never overcome the fact that it is an Indie done on a shoestring. You either get involved with the characters ... or you don't. No in-between.

On a long flight between A and B it would indeed keep your interest. And that is the best thing I can say.

An Oscar, on the other hand (as another reviewer suggested) is highly unlikely.

If you are one who invests into the characters and the significance of why they are even interacting on screen together.... If you a person who looks forward to seeing the hero win.... If you are someone who looks forward to watch something with redemption in a world that gives you darkness for free...... Don't watch this movie!!! They didn't even applaud for the Brennan at the end (for those who have seen it know what I'm talking about. Don't want to give away spoilers just in case you go for it anyways). If you invest anything you literally get nothing in return.

This is a movie where no one commits to anything. Lead actor doesn't propose, actress doesn't commit to a relationship, they don't even commit to the jobs they love and atlast the movie doesn't commit to an ending.. There is a lot of potential but it doesn't get any closure. Lot of unexplained things in movie. What lead to breakup, why they never got in touch even if they are creepy enough to stalk in Facebook and why they are afraid to end up together. That being said, I didn't hate the movie. I liked the leads performances especially the female lead.. She is beautiful, funny and emotes well. I sincerely hoped to find closure at the end of the movie even if its a bitter one.

i liked this movie.it's not original.but when you do something in a good way you don't necessarily need originality.you have two young very likable characters ,you have the weekend parenthesis plot ,hanging around remembering drinking,forgetting,escaping,singing,talking about the future or avoiding the future ,being in and out of love,romancing.what i especially liked about this movie is ..you cannot pin it down.even now i have to think..why didn't he told her to marry him and stay in nashville,make babies.it's not like she did not give him pointers."i'm pushing 30,all my sisters etc. have families."but it's that kind of a movie.and that kind of a weekend.nora is sweet but just maybe out of a long relationship.and brennan..we feel he is a kind of a victim in the whole movie,but in the end nora tells him that he dumped her the last time because he is too afraid to commit.which we understand it's probably true.OK so he commits to stay in nashville to become a singer again.why can't he commit to propose to her?anyway the movie does not tells us what will happen.although probably she is going to get her act together as she promised and marry that David guy so she can be like her sisters.or maybe not.well..i give the movie seven and a half.IMDb does not believe in half's so i state it here.

'no spoilers' I absolutely LOVE THIS!!!!!!!! First off Colin Arthur Geoffry O'Donoghue is my absolute favorite actor of ALL TIME!! And he is the only reason i watched it. BUT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!! The screenplay was perfect, the casting was perfect, the story line was perfect, the acting was perfect, the central conflict was between the characters was perfect, the relationship between the two main characters was perfect. Colin O'Donoghue was amazing, Kristen Gutoskie was amazing, Chris Carmack was amazing, Jessejames Locorriere was amazing, basically every performance was absolutely brilliant Just a reminder, the score i gave is wrong, but they didn't have 1000000000 out of 10. Please Please PLEASE, go see this movie
