So this movie is an interesting take on the corruption of military contractors and how corporate PR works in favor. It is sort of a thriller with something of a leftist political backdrop in terms of the plot. It definitely isn't a hollywood blockbuster and obviously had a limited budget but the director does a good job getting the story to progress and involving a cast of interesting characters.
More time could have been spent fleshing out the political scenarios and telling the backstory of the Redistributors. Their hacktivism wasn't particularly realistic in terms of its goals or attempts but the intention to portray them as a positive force fighting against corporate malfeasance was there. But I've seen much worse portrayals by almost every other big budget hollywood movie so I give some credit to at least portray them as humans. Attempting to tell a spy story and thriller on the other hand this movie isn't particularly realistic but the plot is adequate. Overall though this is a good effort for a first-time director without a hollywood budget and the cinematography and directing worked for me.

An interesting low-budget thriller with a political bent
How did this get shown?
REDISTRIBUTORS is a dreadful little independent thriller that I was surprised to discover being shown on late-night telly. How it got transmitted I have no idea, except the possibility that it was part of one of those package deals that stations sometimes buy up. The conspiracy style plotline is redolant of much better Hollywood thrillers, while the no-name cast give stilted performances throughout. It's all routine from beginning to end, perhaps better made than the literal backyard indies you sometimes see, but just as dull in the end.
What is the point of this film ?
Why make this film ? The director's experience extends to 2 shorts ... and the producer previously made a game show etc. So a bunch of ametuer actors and crew get together to make an ametuer film , and the result is ... well, less than mediocre to put it politely ! They had to start their careers somewhere, and this was IT !!
Please don't waste your time on this garbage ...
