INTRODUCTION: To begin with my review of the film, "The
Deuce of Spades," I would like to point out that
the film was entirely done by one hot rod lady who
produced, directed, filmed, did the lighting, acted,
composed the score, and much more. This woman's name
is Faith Granger
THE DETAILS: The overall creation of this film
speaks for itself. The shooting of the film was done
very professionally. The lighting and cinematography
were just perfect. Camera moves and angles were
compelling. The soundtrack blended and flowed very
well with all the scenes. It is just as good as it
should be.
THE FILM: I would like to say that the setting of
the film World Premiere in Fillmore, California was
fantastic. The film plot starts out with a bit of
puzzling mystery with a modern day Hot Rod girl
named Faith stumbles upon a barn find: A 1932 deuce
roadster sporting a mysterious spade emblem on its
steering wheel horn button. While working to restore
the car, she finds a 50 plus year old secret.
Reflecting shadows much like the classic detective
movie "Marlowe." Faith proves to be a great finder
of lost hearts. Main actors Timothy Luke and
Alexandra Holder (who played Johnny Callaway with
girlfriend Bettie Thompson), have spiced up the film
flawlessly. This film is seasoned with dry lake
racing, drag racing, street racing, jealously, rage,
passion, love and honor. In the film Johnny Callaway
is a top mechanic and an unbeatable drag racer who
is led down a dangerous and troubled path by his
love for speed. As tragedy strikes, his life and
love are shattered. Johnny's struggles are retraced
by the hot rod girl, in her attempt to uncover her
deuce's dark past. Ultimately the message is one of
Hope, Providence and Redemption. With another
legendary hot rodder, Gene Winfield, Faith Granger
makes the ending scene unforgettable, proving once
again that "the Truth shall set you free." You all
have to see this great film. The actors perform with
superbness. For all the actors that play the roles
and all who have supported it; I congratulate them
for a great true Hot Rod classic of the 1950's.
Cheers to you Faith Granger. To get this great film
