Great Movie!

This movie is no run-of-the-mill indie film. Although shot on a tight budget, Collier&Co. uses that budget to the maximum, and the result is a well-thought out, well-planned, well-shot, and well...fun movie! Obviously, this film will appeal to Dukes fans and car enthusiasts because of the references, car stunts and of course the stars, John Schneider (also writer and director) and Traveler(hey, a 69 Charger can be a star too, ya know).
However, don't be fooled into thinking that's all the film has to offer. Mr. Schneider has not only managed to shoot the action scenes superbly ; he handles the dramatic scenes with just as much polished skill. By using family and friends for the roles, and skillful direction, he elicits natural performances that make the characters seem all the more real, and therefore much easier for the audience to relate to. The scenes in which J.R. Collier struggles with balancing his new "job" and trying to keep his family together, will no doubt tug your heartstrings, and make you want everything to turn out alright.
Although I had bought the original limited edition DVD, I wanted to see some behind the scenes footage of how the movie was made. So, I ordered this new two-disc edition, with the special features, and I was not disappointed in the least. You get a real sense of what John Schneider was trying to accomplish, and that was to make a film that everyone of every age could enjoy together. He has succeeded in his endeavor, and I absolutely look forward to the sequel, Collier&Co. 2.
And now, for the fanboy cry...YEEEEEHAW!!!
