Hell Yeah!" - Z Channel Online A must for anyone intending to make their own low budget action/thriller. This should be a essential part of any independent filmmaker's library. - Einsider.com "The film was made for $8,000 but looks like it a million!" - Cinema Insomnia.com "The visuals are dark, disturbing, sleek, and give the film a crisp, cool look. Off the charts! The kill scenes would make Michael Mann proud!" - ComicBookBin.com "B R O K E N packing enough cinematic DY-NO-MITE to completely blow your ass off! It delivers a skull-shattering array of special effects shots that equals the quality of big budgeted studio flicks!" - Living Corpse.com "...reminded me of a mix between The Sixth Sense, Fight Club, and Sin City." - Cin3ma TV "It looks like something Quentin Tarantino might have done on his day off when he was jamming with the Wachowski Brothers." - Film Guru.net "...literally overflows with bullets, brains and blood…Sam Raimi would be proud." - DVD Verdict "Alex Ferrari, Broken delivers eye-popping special effects photography that, rather than hinder the production, adds to the viewer’s experience of psychological and physical terror!" - Pop Syndicate.com "An effective arsenal of rapid fire thrills!" -Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, The Horror Channel "It's sheer entertainment. Best indie & the most effective indie calling card we've ever seen. Hell, you could hand these two guys MI: 3 and it might draw me into watch it." - Need Coffee.com "...seeing people creating works like this is like a breath of fresh air... T he people behind BROKEN could probably step up to the major leagues." - Cleverdonkey.com "An amazing little head trip!" - Christopher Null, filmcritic.com "Broken, an action/sci-fi piece complete with explosions, automatic weapons, & a stylish, neo-noir look that isn't all that far removed from its main stylistic inspiration, the Matrix trilogy." -PLAY Magazine "The film is tightly plotted and the action fast paced. Overall 2 tumbs up!" - ILMfan.com "Broken also makes for an excellent resource and lesson for any other aspiring filmmaker out there." DVDDude.net "...shot for a mind-bogglingly small $8,000, which includes over 100 visual effects shots. Stuff like this must make the Hollywood studios tremble." - Pixel Surgeon.com "These guys are responsible for, perhaps, one of the highest quality independent films ever created." - Entertainmentopia "Visually, it’s fantastic, with production values as high – if not higher – than anything you will see in more mainstream films. - Pulp Movies "Broken is violent, gritty, and entertaining as hell. - Filmmaking.com "...a diabolical short." Image Icon Entertainment "A slick-looking little short....we might be looking at the next David Fincher in Ferrari." - Entertain Your Brain "Quite literally, a lesson in guerilla filmmaking." - DVD Dude.net "...sensibilities of a video game and the visual feel of films like SAW and SEVEN. - Foywonder "B R O K E N is a quality film! It's the best suspense thriller you never saw." - World's Greatest Critic.com "A great achievement in Independent Cinema. It is probably the best short film I've ever seen." - The Horror Review "If you're planning on filming your own short movie anytime in the future you'd be well advised to check out Broken to see how to make a short movie right!" - Dangerous Universe.com "...undeniably impressive...a slick and glossy twenty minutes of suspense and special effects." - Spinning Image UK "Let’s just say that if The Matrix was a darker movie, it would be BROKEN’s bigger brother. BROKEN definitely represents a victory for low budget cinema." - Shade.ca "Amazing little no budget short film. We loved it! - Hackermovies.com - GERMANY "Stylish, noirish and edgy, Broken engages from the start" - Andrew L. Urban - Urbancinefile.com.au "B R O K E N may have started as a independent project but Hollywood is definitely going to take notice." - The MovieReporter GERMANY "B R O K E N is not only stunning visually, but the story is incredibly intense and unbelievably well acted." - Rogue Cinema ""B R O K E N secludes your mind, ties you down, gives yah a bit of a tickle and then slaps you in the face." - CG UNDERGROUND "It's slick with fast paced editing and plenty of style to boot...the trailer flies by and leaves you thirsty for more." - The Movie Blog "Check out BROKEN - a short sharp shock to the system." - Monstersatplay.com Twenty minutes well spent...this is one of the coolest action films I've seen in a while!" - Cinema Crazed "Director Alex Ferrari is confident with the camera – the end product is slick, well edited and very professional. For a brief no-budget film with amateur actors, I dug B R O K E N quite a bit." - CHUD.com "...it brings cool action to the screen, also throws in cool little head twists and mind f@*ks for the ride. BROKEN just blew my mind." - CAN Magazine "It looks good and is a new benchmark for other short film makers to aspire to visually." - Rumour Machine It..s a brilliant visual film. - Filmfanzine " Part David Fincher, part The Matrix...B R O K E N certainly impresses." - Beyond Hollywood.com "I wanted more. I could not recommend it enough." - Film Bomb "Kinda struck me as a cross between the Twilight Zone, Saw, & a Hong Kong action film...really damn impressive for only $8000." - Horrorchannel.com "Broken leaves you with a taste of what this company can do, and a desire for more." - Cinema Blend "I must say I was honestly blown away, very impressive work....by far one of the slickest short films I've seen in a long while." - SUPERHERO HYPE!.com "This is a very impressive piece of work.

Highly Recommended!" - The Movie Bar "The Broken DVD also makes for an excellent resource and lesson for any other aspiring filmmaker out there." - DVD Dude.net "It really shows what you can accomplish with a little bit of cash and a lot of talent...definitely worth a watch." - DV Guru.com "B R O K E N looks like a helluva lot of movie for $8000 bucks." - GreenCine Daily "Take my advice about this film. Be IMPRESSED!" - Review Guy Online.com "I recommend viewing BROKEN to anyone interested in high production values / low budget film work. The short is inspiring." - Film Roar "This has to be one of the better made action trailers I’ve seen..." - Movie Poop Shoot "B R O K E N is a short-but-sweet action fan's fix...you won't have to wait long for the bullets to fly." - HollywoodBitchSlap "Very impressive...and looked like the effects were done by seasoned pros with a major bankroll behind them." - Supercalafragalistic.com "B R O K E N has a slick look that rivals a studio film." - 7M Pictures "The production values rival any big-budget film out there." - Invisibleman Online "B R O K E N is violent, gritty, and entertaining as hell" - VFXSoup "This movie is f-ing awesome and deserves to be played on a big BIG screen." - REwindvideo.com "Kick ass trailer! Seriously, for $8K, I want to see more. Very cool!" - Metacritic.com "With over 100 visual effects, BROKEN is tour de force." - Inkietos.com |
