This film is completely predictable without rendering any entertainment value whatsoever. Its simply terrible. It amazes me that work like this actually gets made; moreover, it has the guts to solicit money, as if making the film were equal, in some far away galaxy, to having suffered through watching it. The twists and turns travel deep into plot point after point until the mystery unravels itself into portraiture--nothing meaningful happens. What does occur are heavy-handed maneuvers in story conventions at the expense of the audience. Surely there is no conscious disdain for the viewer, but to scorn film goers through reckless naivety isn't just no matter how mot just the intentions might have been. Furthermore, it is hard to believe that any skill lies in either the craft to create story or to successfully, manipulate deceitfully. Neither are done subtly thus neither are received auspiciously. Hopefully the cast and crew were given the proper time to jump ship before this boat sank back into the mind from which it came. Perhaps Writer/Director Pollard should stick to voice-overs?

I give this movie a five based solely on the good quality of production used to create it. It also employs a nice cast of actors, and altogether has a professional look.Besides that it is less than decent, especially the ending. I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it, but I don't need to anyways, it does that all on it's own. The terrible finale, and the pathetic use of Dues Ex Machina make me certain that any comments that you may have previously seen from viewers calling this movie one of the best films they have seen are bias or from people personally involved.This is nothing more than a low level film and the perfect example of how to dress up a weak movie with a fancy production. But don't take my word for it, you have to see it to understand just what I mean.

Stu Pollard has penned and directed an engaging film that holds your attention throughout. The casting and performances break out of the Hollywood stereotypes and add to the mystery of the film. Keep Your Distance is not shy about revealing the faults of each character and using the same to propel the plot!! Kudos to all involved!! I truly enjoyed the use of the Kentucky landscape as well as the opportunity to glimpse Kentucky society through the film. Future filmmakers would be advised to investigate non-traditional locals as a way of saving and raising money in addition to allowing a greater diversity to be found in the cinema!!

You'll be pleasantly surprised by this recently released independent from Stu Pollard. Strong acting across the board, featuring charismatic performances from Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein) and Gil Bellows (Ally McBeal). Not quite a thriller, not quite a romance, but close enough to both you won't be going to the fridge until it's over. Beautiful cinematography gives genuine personality to Louisville and its environs. Every aspect of this film shows Pollard knows what he's up to, in spades. A plot hole or two may leave you with a couple of questions at the end. So watch it again. When all is said and done, the story rolls along briskly and you'll be glad you went for the ride. Deserves to be seen. A sterling sophomore effort.
