First off this is a non-canon origin story and we wanted to make it slower and more cinematic. With that, here are some answers to common questions, issues, and concerns:
(will update as they come along)
Q: Why is the pacing not like Hotline Miami's fast-paced murder rush?
A: This is supposed to be an origin story to Hotline Miami and Jacket hasn't become "Jacket" yet. We wanted to take it slow and make it more "natural", though that's a bit of a stretch.

This was really good. Only thing that throwed me off was the way he caressed the other guy so gently with the bat instead of smacking him.

if one man can take out the entire Russian mafia then he can kill one person with a pizza box

I saw him kill 3 men with a Pizza box..a FUCKIN pizza box.
I like the neon pink/purple glow added in some places, it's faithful to the game's art style and it gives the video a surreal feeling, sort of like it's a dream or flashback being remembered. Russian accents are used with the henchmen, also faithful. The use of the Mistral font for the title sequence (no doubt a slight nod to the film Drive), the frequent use of improvised weapons, the careful camera angles, the less common voice acting and more common body language; all faithful. I'd say you guys pulled off a pretty nice fan film here with the tech you had and I love it. :) Keep goin', guys.
Lacks blood.
Plot twist: he actually goes and delivers pizzas. He just really liked the mask and bat.
The tf2 scout origins.
As a pizza-delivery guy, I can confirm this is how 50 Blessings hires my *ahem* 'services'.

Well see the concept is rather simple. You knock on the door, the target opens the door to accept their pizza, and the hotbags we carry easily hold a suppressed handgun or if required, a sharper, taste. Mask is provided for me in the dumpster behind the shop for pickup, easy to deposit and retrieve as necessary. Once the job is done, we drive away, nobody bats an eye, because the lowly pizza guy is just doing his job.

+Will Marsden Since you hide your mask in a dumpster, aren't you worried of the smell or a dumpster truck accidentally clearing out the dumpster and taking the mask with it by accident?

Good job to you guys! You really caught the atmosphere of Hotline Miami, the lighting was great and I loved your use of the soundtrack. It would be awesome to see more work from you guys on Hotline Miami in the future!
The fact that you have Miami Nights 1984 at the end just made the whole thing for me!! haha I like it!
Great work man, really nice!
As a huge fan of the game, I think you guys did a great job and truly did the game justice.
Pizza box. Very effective
it needs...More. Blood.

Love Miami, the song in the beginning.
Say hello to my little friend.jpeg @2:24 Nice little Scar face reference my dudes.
Not the real backstory, but I love how the actor for Jacket has that hairstyle, because that's the actual hairstyle Jacket in the game has. I find that we some for some reason.
I like this. It'd totally watch more

marcus johns in a hotline miami fan-movie? niiiice
2:38 now that is a scout
Very good fan film
not a drop of blood? That goes against Hotline's very existence.
Great fan film
I like it.
I enjoyed it. Love the lighting, gald you used the same soundtrack
Realy cool you realy caught the ambiance of the game! Great work do more hotline miami dude!!!!!
You guys have future!!!!
he was just a pizza guy
OMG BIKER APPEARED AFTER THE CREDITS!!! Possible sequel in the works??? :)
His backstory is much, much more complicated, but great job anyway!
Good job guys ;)
Good lighting, good editing Bad acting though
Amazing work, great job. :)
we need moree
its not the same without the mask
Best fan film until i watch
This was really well made especially for the budget!, If it were higher budget or a real film I would imagine the bat looking more like it hit the mobster, Jacket driving a car with pop-up headlights like a MR2 which was in the games release trailer because a Delorean is way too expensive, and a custom made chicken mask that looks more like the actual PayDay version. Great Job on this though and you can tell it's good from the fact that there would only be like 3 changes with higher budget.

So badass
This is awesome, you could continue this, this video was like jackets awakening if you get what I mean
Even though this was quite well done, I like how as soon as he is attacked and makes his 1st kill like it's no big deal. Great job though

i like the idea here, but it doesn't really feel like an Hotline Miami origin. In the original game, he just got phone calls and that's it, there was really no 'origin' This is still really well made!
At 2:40 Jacket Guy became a Scout.

This turned out really well, especially considering that you guys probably didn't have a huge budget to work with.
not bad...
i thought that the dude playing jacket looked familiar haha
Too bad that they couldn't have used the DMC Delorean :P would have been awesome
Ohh my god this is amazing!
Good stuff, but you're right on the whole non-canon thing. 50 Blessings picks up Jacket because they had dirt on him and knew he was an addict so he was easy to fool and mold

This is great, the only thing I'll say it to keep the pacing of the action fast similarly to the game.

Surely Jacket drives something better than a CRX. Good job, though.

Pretty neat fan-concept on Jacket's origin. Shame HM2 sort of outdated it. Or did it?
Marcus i know him!
Reminds of Indian cinema
YO! Is that THE Marcus Johns????????????????
This will be a decent story if hotline miamo 2 doesn't broke all dis crap (good crap)

Yeah, we were having fun back in college. We made this almost 6 years ago.
Masks? No? What do you mean "haven't you heard?"
Solid costumes and atmosphere, but the actors need some practice, the action feels too slow and not nearly enough brutality to do the game justice. Great effort for what it is though, I'd definitely watch a second go!
its not bad, the quality and production and acting is good, just i didn't feel it was the real Jacket. Jacket is a ex military solider which is confirmed in the web comic's, so he is very much experienced in urban war fair and weapons training, and wouldn't take cover like that under fire XD if You made another one where it was based on the legit back story and portrayed jacket as experienced calm and professional You could pull off something epic in scale, I enjoy and appreciate this for what it is :) just like I said I don't feel it does justice to the real Jacket XD
Looks great, except driving with a mask at night would be very dangerous.
