I am totally speechless. I just watched this little indy thriller that I knew nothing about and it blew me away! Whoever the hell Paul Osbourne is, my guess is that we'll be hearing a lot more from him. This film is about a guy who inadvertently kills a woman he's been seeing on the side and gets his childhood friend to cover it up for him.However his loser friend starts demanding all sorts of stuff from him, like giving him money and hiring him in a job he's clearly not qualified to work at. This suspense just keeps building and building, the acting of the two primary actors is just amazing. Osbourne not only directed this but also wrote and photographed it as well. It is so rare to find an unknown flick that is as good as any thriller I've seen in a long time. Do yourself a Favor and rent or buy this. I will be watching this again real soon. Danny.

Another one that caught me completely by surprise. Alicia Veliz and I sat down to watch this, after deciding to pick a couple of random DVDs. While it turned out I saw the other one before, Favor was new to us both and I'm happy to say, this was a Favor I didn't mind owing.Do you know the saying "A friend helps you move. A good friend helps you move a body" ? This is the entire premise of this movie and while it is a very small budget movie (you can tell the locations are no more than two or three places), the actors involved and the Director did a fantastic job of making this simple premise a taught and enjoyable thriller from beginning to end.With a slow build, but never boring Favor is all about the characters shown. Kip is one of those people some of us know, who always seem to have everything they want. A great job. A nice home. A loving marriage and everything in between. Like some people though, he takes these things for granted as if he's owed everything he has. Then we meet Marvin. Kip's old friend from way back. Marvin is the complete opposite. He's broke. He's unemployed. He's lonely and has nothing worth living for. After Kip asks for Marvin help to move his dead girlfriend's body, things get really complicated as Marvin unravels and begins to envy Kip's life. We know what's coming, but that doesn't make the ride any less fun.Favor isn't fast paced or action packed but the actors make the story riveting and enjoyable from beginning to end and I highly recommend watching it, if you're looking for a good suspense flick.

This feels so much like a Nineties suspense/thriller and it really plays like one. There are almost no cellphones used, and the way in which the scenes were shot really felt like the simpler lighting, and low definition. That is the setting for the most part, and once past this you can get to the meat of the movie, which is in no way perfect, but has some good strong acting, and you can see the effort on the screen. The story flows with a few stutters, and backtracks on itself a lot, however you do get good tensions between the characters, and even though the shots were way too claustrophobicly close up when they did not all have to be, even the boardroom stuff is passable for the acting if nothing else. Speaking of nothing else though there is nothing more that saves this movie, the story is crooked, and connivingly obvious, and it still thinks that it is fooling you when it does the inevitable. So I think that I Enjoyed the acting in this movie by both of the leads Good, or Evil, you have to decide, and the supporting cast were really the big strength of the movie more than just a cameo by Jeffrey Combs is still just filler if you look at it on it's own, but worth my time. I only recommend this to fans of Nineties suspense, or Fifties to Eighties B-movies as that is all you will really be getting here.

When a friend asks you to do a favor, you do it, right? How about helping to cover up an apparent murder? Would you do that favor? That's the situation in "Favor," a dark, intense psychological thriller. Kip, a successful marketing director, and Marvin, an out of work loser, had been friends since elementary school. As they each went in their separate and polar opposite directions, they grew apart. But when Kip's affair went awry, he called the one person he knew he could trust; Marvin. As Marvin cleaned up Kip's mess, Kip was completely indebted to Marvin. How far did Kip have to go before he paid his debt? When is it truly "Even Steven?"This sharp, intelligent, and even at times witty, psychological thriller was unbelievably intense. The twists and turns it took were more wicked and dangerous than Mulholland Dr. on a dark and stormy night. The hole that Kip dug himself got deeper and deeper until you thought there was no way out. I was on the edge of my seat in anticipation of the next move. And when that next move occurred, it was shocking. At times, the inferred violence was a bit much for me, but added to the overall intensity of the movie.Blayne Weaver and Patrick Day starred in this film by Paul Osbourne. Outstanding performances by all! I left the theater in awe. "Favor" is now one of my top psychological thrillers! Beware, there is violence, but if you like intense, smart, unpredictable films, this is one you won't want to miss.
