Unnoticed (2005) User Reviews

For first attempt at film...bravo

[w_g_crawford · 6/10 · 12 November 2005]

The trailer for this film is what really gets a person pumped up about it, for untrained camera work, this film is definitely far beyond many other independent films...many of the shots and angles make us forget that there was only one camera. On a whole some of the duologue and situations became a little distracting, and the relationship between Miss Glover and Mr. Holler characters seemed a little unclear...relatives? old friends? lovers?...if to be altered perhaps some more focus on this could help out...what if they were brother and sister? The acting at times seems a little forced, but it is tough subject matter to deal with and be serious about. Dawn Glover truly shines, however, with intention in even the most lackluster of lines. Every moment with her is full of believability and honesty that helps to make the story more compelling...she helps to keep the audience watching. What we have here is a young actress who can truly make a difference in the film industry and I recommend keeping an eye out for any future work by this young woman.

For a low budget small West Texas film, it hits all the right chords

Not having seen very many independent films, I'd have to say that this film, with the right funding, could have been on the level of "Behind Enemy Lines". With a religious message and a real world sequence, the balance of power and what is right can go either direction. This movies director used a lot of close quarter filming that gave a sense of being there with the actors. The action sequences were nicely done and had believable interaction between actors. The audience seemed to be kept in suspense as to the outcome of the characters. I attended the screening and noticed the audience was very receptive of the movie. I enjoyed the film, enjoyed its message and was pleased with the underlying theme.

Incredible Film From An Incredible Filmmaker

Unnoticed is an incredible film created by an incredible Filmmaker. Sean Stringer is not only one of the best, he is also an incredible individual with a heart of pure gold. He assembled a top notch cast and brought on Producers who share the same vision as he does. With all of the right elements in place, they were able to create a wonderful piece of cinema. I have seen this film four times and each time I always walk away seeing something new. The cinematography is great, the acting works for the characters, and the musical elements give the film an edge. The finale always manages to bring a tear to my eye because of the truth that it invokes. My hat goes off to everyone who came together to make this film happen. I have met a few of the cast members and they are as real as anyone that you could meet. Their on screen persona spills over into their real lives and they are all approachable individuals. Jenifer Hart does an incredible job as the villain and her acting proves the talent in this woman, because as a real person, she is an absolute sweetheart. I love this movie and I expect these very talented people to be more NOTICED than not. Great job!

Amazing Film

[eljefe1-1 · 8/10 · 1 May 2005]

After seeing Unnoticed, I can't believe that they spent so little making it. This film is about a man who is a government assassin who meets a former soldier, now a preacher. They go on an adventure where people are trying to kill them. There is an element of truth in there about the Chinese Underground of churches. The acting was very believable, for amateur actors, they did a wonderful job. But the thing that stood out the most to me was the special effects. I can't believe this film wasn't made by Hollywood. There were shots in the movie looking through the scope of a gun that convinced me. There were people in the audience arguing about whether the guns were real or not. I would recommend this film to anyone who likes a good story and a great visual adventure.

Fast-Paced with a Message

[bulldurhamshotcorner-1 · 9/10 · 9 August 2005]

David Sean Stringer is a talent yet to be discovered. The entire film was shot with a hand-held camera and its break-neck style is superior to most mainstream action flicks out there today. It's also the best "Christian" movie I've ever seen.

If Stringer goes unnoticed it won't be because he lacks the chops to make it in this business. It will be because people refuse to look past the message of his film to see the potential this guy has to do so much more. Or, maybe he doesn't want to pursue a this field. Either way, it will be a huge disappointment if we don't get to see more from this director.

Even the acting of these so-called "novices" is superior to the performances found in films such as "Left Behind."

Kudos!
