"Two Thumbs Up" --Ebert & Roeper

Product Description

When guitar-playing car thief Wesley Benfield (William Lee Scott) is sentenced to a halfway house in the middle of the Bible Belt, he's forced to play "church music" with his fellow convicted residents. The band's future looks bleak...until Wesley meets Vernon (Lucas Black), an autistic savant whose rocking piano skills give them the spark they need to become the red-hot Killer Diller Blues Band. But before they can take the world by storm, all they have to do is break the law one more time.
Infused with toe-tapping soul of the South, Killer Diller is based on Clyde Edgerton's highly acclaimed novel and features blues legends Taj Mahal and Keb Mo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why can't more movies be like Killer Diller?, January 16, 2008

By	moose201 (USA) - See all my reviews

You can read the product description for a plot synopsis, I won't recap it here. Killer Diller is a wonderful surprise of a movie. The music rocks, the story is funny, sweet and uplifting and the acting is pure and completely believable. What a refreshing change from the tired, Hollywood formula movies. No ensemble cast, no overhyped overexposed actors, no phony sets. I love that it was filmed in central Missouri and I loved the reference to John Lee Hooker at the end. Perfect.

In this age of special effects, who done it's and horror flicks; this is a refreshing movie with diverse characters coming together to use their talents. The music is excellent...
