Editorial Reviews

Neal Bannen (Mark Gantt) is a charming con-man and thief, with a father who’s a police chief (Michael Ironside) and an uncle who’s a mob boss (Robert Forster). He has a penchant for fine women – like Madison (Vanessa Marcil), who wants him to reform and leave his life of crime behind. All Bannen wants to do is complete one more job to pay off his debt to a notorious gangster. Unfortunately, that just doesn’t work out as easily as he hopes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snatch + Oceans 11 + Fight Club = Bannen Way - Loved It!, July 21, 2010

This review is from: The Bannen Way (DVD)

This movie was slick like oceans 11 but gritty like rock n rolla or Snatch. Neal Bannen smoothy gets out of trouble all most everytime and when he doesn't, he gets smacked up. This film has fight club quality scenes in it mixed with a slickness of Oceans 11 and Snatch that you're not gonna wanna miss. Did I mention Vanessa Marcil is in it? A must watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars vanessa marcil steals the show, September 11, 2011

By

This review is from: The Bannen Way (DVD)

granted, the hot babe often steals the show in slick heist films. in this case, vanessa marcil does so with more than just her smokin' hot looks. she's simply just so watchable. the audience identifies with her. i noticed i kept waiting for her to appear on screen.

mark gantt has written a decent story, but vanessa marcil's character of madison brings it to life. i found mr. gantt to be the downer of the film. he's a bit too pretentious and cliched. i don't really buy him as the hero; his look isn't right and his acting is mediocre. however, he and co-star marcil have massive chemistry, but then again marcil has chemistry with every co-star. it's her talent.

some of the supporting case is excellent, but the "bimbo types" are not. so casting is hit 'n miss.

overall, a very impressive web film. high production value making it a genre-leader in the web category.

finally, an earlier reviewer remarked that ms. marcil was not right for the role and that she shines instead in romantic and comedic roles. i don't agree with the former part, but latter part -- absolutely! her role in tv hit 'las vegas' was hilarious! i've thought many times she'd be the ideal lead in a romantic comedy. someone hire vanessa marcil for such a lead role because she's got the full package of sweet AND sexy looks, chemistry with all her co-stars, and talent as both a dramatic and comedic actress!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bannen Way should be required viewing material!, July 20, 2010

This review is from: The Bannen Way (DVD)

Jesse Warren and Mark Gantt put together a stylized action movie with tons of intrigue and fun! This film will always mark the start of big budget production on the web. The supporting cast alone is worth the price of admission! Look forward to seeing more from this awesome team!
