go from zero to building a Fortune 100 company in just ten years? For <SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">Collin Donovan (Craig Rainey), founder of
Donovan Enterprises, the answer is that you don’t play by the rules and if you
have a problem you eliminate it. To that end Donovan has assembled a group of
seven “special operatives” called The Innocent Killers. The film <B>THE INNOCENT
KILLERS</B> is the first installment of writer/director Brett Mauser’s INNOCENCE
SAGA, a ten part series that will be released one film at a time over the next
two years. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> THE INNOCENT KILLERS,
while able to exist as a stand alone film on many levels, is clearly part of a
series. The film opens with a pair of </SPAN><st1:City><st1:place><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">San
Antonio</SPAN></st1:place></st1:City><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> police detectives, Mike Lorenzo
(Brett Mauser, who acts in the film as well) and his partner Diane Loveland
(Ryan Harris), dealing with an informant who seems to have gone crazy and taken
a hostage. It turns out the informant is only trying to stay alive and figures
being surrounded by cops is the way to do it. What’s got him that scared? He’s
come into possession of an antique coin and he warns the detectives that
everyone who has the coin ends up dead, and that respected businessman Collin
Donovan is somehow involved. <SPAN style="mso-tab-count: 1">
</SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> With the coin now in
a police evidence locker it might seem that would be the end, but Donovan is
after the coin and he sends his Innocent Killers to take it from the police. The
coin is retrieved for Donovan, but in the process most of the Innocent Killers
team is killed along with many more police, including Mike’s partner Diane. Now
the story follows a convoluted path as Mike seeks to bring the seemingly
untouchable Donovan to justice and Donovan’s plans begin to make themselves
clear. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If THE INNOCENT KILLERS
were not part one of a much larger series, then the complex plot and numerous
characters that are introduced would make the film difficult to watch. However,
Mauser makes it clear from the start that this is just one part of a much larger
story, so the viewer is left to trust that things will make more sense as the
story progresses. Having seen the second film in the series, THE SHADOW RISING,
it is evident that is the case. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Mauser has done an
impressive feat. Just getting ten films made is an accomplishment many
independent filmmakers only dream of. Mauser didn’t only make ten films; he
completed principal photography and much of the post-production in one year.
This means that all of the films to be released within the next few years.
Despite the rushed schedule presented by this endeavor and the budgetary
limitations that go hand in hand with most independent film projects, THE
INNOCENT KILLERS is a solid action film filled with interesting characters and
an impressive amount of action.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>While most of the acting is well done, sometimes the dialogue drags and
the audience must remind themselves that there is more to the story than just
this film, so some events are not explained right away and will only make sense
when the rest of films are added in. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">On the plus side for the
film, many of the actors stand out in their roles. Most noteworthy were Matthew
Jasso and <B>Jade Esteban Estrada</B>. Jasso’s portrayal of Joey Pantinelli, one
of the killers, is impressive, especially as the character’s views of loyalty
and honor are challenged by events. <B><I>Estrada’s performance as Jax is worth
noting for the way he steals the show in almost every scene he’s in as he brings
an outrageous mix of ruthlessness and campiness together to create possibly the
most memorable of the film’s characters.</I></B><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><SPAN style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </SPAN><SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P> </P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">THE INNOCENT KILLERS has
good action, interesting characters, and a story that is compelling despite, or
possibly because of, its complexity. So if you have the opportunity, check out
Brett Mauser’s THE INNOCENT KILLERS, but be sure you bring a score card - you
may need it to keep up. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
