User Reviews (Amazon.com):
"Great Film! The costume design was spot on! I Loved the driving and flight scenes, and the scenery was beautiful!! The small prop planes that were used in filming were awesome, especially the old wooden propeller was a classy touch. The story telling was well played, the movie grabbed me right off the bat, jumping right into the action!. Remember, this is an independent film, not a multi-million dollar cgi blockbuster. It is made by real people, actors and actresses, background extras, costume designers, sound, lighting and camera operators, and dedicated individuals who came together to create something special, using real life driving, flying, and dialogue scenes. Kudos to all involved in this wonderful project! I enjoyed it very much!" Written by TheHippyChick
"This movie was put together pretty well for a low budget film. Some of the scenes and the acting wasn't up to par but was good enough for this level of an indie movie.
The writing, editing and directing was far better than one would expect from these little films. I've been to many of the locations in this film and you can see a lot of great shots from the surrounding areas in beautiful Washington State (kudos to the director). If you are a fan of low budget independent films and enjoy supporting them and the talented people who create them for our entertainment, then this one is for you. Overall on a low budget movie rating scale, I give Rum Runners an eight out of ten. Good work to the writer(s), cast, crew and director! I hope your movie and future work go far! Looking forward to the next piece of art from this director." Written by LLOLUX
