From the Tampa Film Review for Dec. 2007 "Mexican Sky" written and directed by Ken Collins, featuring Jay Hewlett This is one of the finest films to play at the Tampa Film Review. Ever. The lead law man, Ray, is played by stand up comic Jay Hewlett (also a member of Damage Control Comedy group), who is outstanding in his role as the taunted lawman. What is it about stand-up comics that they seem so frequently to be able to cross over into drama. The reverse isn't usually true, at least I've never known it to happen. Jay's performance is amazing. The mouthy skinhead crook, the one with the child-killer past who is great bravado taunts our hero's all the way to Meh-hee-ko, is played by the director himself, Ken Collins. And the ending is quite satisfying. Ken Collins has written some juicy parts for himself and his players. Chad Fukuda's cinematography is breathtaking as is the super-tight editing. Congratulations to Largo Films Mexican Sky. Gets my very highest recommendation. |
