SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
jjohnson2400 OK. This is the only time in my life I'll ever be able to say this but I love this movie because my friend, Ivan Visali, made this movie. Haven't seen him in 18 years but we programmed together in LA for about a year and became friends. Very talented individual.So looked at from that perspective, I looked at it for where he was in his movie making. This was his first movie so you have to look at it from that perspective too.Was this a great movie. No. But you should know something. He wrote a script for 4 years and got all the funding lined up and guess what, those idiots with the money thought they knew more about writing a script than he did (well my friend and his co-writer).So he said they basically gutted what they wrote. Would have loved to see HIS movie made.What's totally cool is that Amy Smart got her first movie credit in this movie! How awesome is that! Not sure how that happened. Ivan, if you read this, get back in the game buddy. I believe in you!
jdi_90025 Basically, most of the actors rush their lines, and except for the two Antonios (Lochlyn Munro somewhat OK), the acting basically sucked, which means the directing also sucked. Weak story, weak writing. Worst of all was the music. It's also funny that the writer (Mike Mains, the worst actor in the film) wrote himself the part of having the first primary relationship in the film. The interaction between the two of them is about as exciting as that between a turtle and a rock.The positive reviews here are a joke. It is however, an adequate film for those who want to get high and laugh at how awful this film is.
deny Although the plot is really transparent action and cast made this movie look better. Acrobatic fights and shooting are nicely done, you can watch them over and over again. This is type of movie to relax after long day.I like this one and I recommend it to anyone who like well done action and tired for the day of thinking.Just sit back relax and enjoy the show. I gave it 8 out of 10
RugbyFox I laughed so hard watching this movie I nearly killed myself. It is so unbelievably bad and so completely unaware of how bad it is that you can't help staring in shocked disbelief. The dialogue is horrible, the acting sucks (save for a pretty OK performance by Monroe), and the directing is a textbook of cheesy bad timing. But what really makes the film worth watching is the action sequences. These little cut rate gems rival even the worst overseas, badly dubbed monstrosities. Examples: A guy dies from a gunshot wound to the shoulder; people jump off walls and fly 20 feet in the air; Every time somebody turns quickly or reaches for something, you get the ever popular "whoosh" sound effect. This movie is horrible, but it's a great late night choice if you want to see just how bad bad film making can be.
