Audio Audio Language: English The sound quality is good for DVD Dialogue is cleat but could use a tad boost in volume. Music sounds pretty good. Rating: |
Picture Quality Disc Format: DVD The picture quality is pretty good for DVD and probably the best you can almost get. The PQ is sharp especially on close-ups. Not much color in this film but they do pop. One thing that gets in the way is this slow-motion effect that is used is pretty bad as its laggy looking. Rating: |

| My Thoughts |
37: A Finale Promise is a Drama that involves a guy who is in a big hard rock band but mentally is low and suicidal. The story rolls on the darker side until a girl comes in the picture and things brighten but also gets a little darker too.
The story is good but does hit the line of the movie or made for TV movie. Not saying that is bad as I did like the story. The Story does have few things going on, At first I thought hey its a depression movie then a romantic movie then it turns again where another issue pops up with the female lead that also boost the depression of the lead actor who keeps getting weird visuals that make sense towards the end of the film. Acting wise the movie was decent, could use some work. The director/ creator is also lead actor and the film isn’t a big budget film but it does look good Quality wise.
Over all the film was a good view and like most reviews I’ve seen I would hover around the same ratting at mediocre to just a tad over. The film gets a tad dark which also gets scary for the depressed rock star holding a gun to his head screaming. The film held my interest even though I’m not to into drama romantic type movies but this one brings in other elements and its more grungy and or dark. Plus it deals with a lead playing a hard rock star which also helped me stay interested as it dives into music. One thing I wished they did with he film is get closer with the music and add more scenes dealing with the music aspect of the film.
With that said I will give the film a 3.5 out of 5. Over the mediocre score for me as liked the subject matter. Check the Synapses, check the trailer or take in my review and decide if this movie is for you. I say give it a shot, maybe rent it.
On The Side: I Teared up a tad, Don’t tell anyone, I’m A Ninja and I have a Sword.
