The greatest movie ever made..!

Blistering performances.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I am not at all sure what the reason is for so many Canadian movie productions being of such poor quality. The fact is there is NO good reason for it. We have terrific writers, a wide variety of talented actors, and several great directors. A decent film doesn't start and end with any of that though. It starts and ends with solid producing, of which this production egregiously lacks.Suddenly simply falls flat from the get-go and never really takes off nor goes anywhere. For one thing a Presidential visit to a small town looks like a grand affair, but the portrayal of that in this film comes off as low budget and rinky-dink. The actual Secret Service would have been all over that town.Much of the dialogue is hollow, along with too much needless footage and shots, all serve to bring the watchability of it down further yet. Liotta's character had real promise but again, with not much in the way of meaty dialogue or depth of story even his is a somewhat tinny performance at best.Weak writing is usually the main cause for actors coming off as bad, while poor direction is to blame for actors over-acting. Weak writing however can at least to some degree be compensated for with solid directing, but sadly that's another thing this film is sorely lacking in. Thus the entire production comes off as thin and very low budget. Newsflash Canada: "Low budget" does not always have to look as such.Final thoughts --- This film does not do justice to the original with Frank Sinatra, not by half. The ending is somewhat inconclusive, and anyone who has developed any sort of connection with any of the principle characters is going to be disappointed at the lack of a decent story wrap-up. If you're bored and there's nothing much else on then go ahead and kill 90 minutes, but please don't blame me if you end up wanting your time back.2/10, and that's being generous here.

What a fail. Haha I laughed during the movie. The kid was a crappy actor "no no no u gotta believe us" hahaha. What a crybaby horrible actor. Stay in school kid and become a welder :). His mom? Lmfao what a horrible job acting. The crying way so unbelievable and the dialect was sleepy time tea. I am glad this didn't make it to the screen. I stayed up til 3am watching it on Netflix. Thank god I didn't pay $1.10 at red box for this. Ray liotta must have taken this script to pay bills and fill in when he had no work. Just Awful acting. I laughed when the old dude died hahahahahaha. . Gave it a 2 only because I watched it all the way through. When the old dude died they played this cheesy scream 2 music in the background and some chodey snare drum and cymbal marching band crap at other times. So stupid and fake! I am going to watch the original black and white version on YouTube and see a real movie. I wasted 2 hours of sleep for this crap.

"Suddenly". It is sad that an idea for a movie can be taken and destroyed as the worst piece of cinema ever. Whoever put this mess together must to have had some money to throw away. I thought I had seen some bad movies before, but this one is the worst of the worst. If you must watch it to believe it, then you will understand how terrible it is. You will believe your "lying eyes". Ray Liotta must be desperate for money because he is going from bad to worst. Not only was the acting terrible, but the music score will make you physically sick. It has been a long time since I have seen anything as awful as this. It makes a viewer appreciate a good movie when one is seen. This director should be arrested for this direction. Awful, just awful!

"Today is a glorious day. Today I get to kill the President." Barren (Purcell) has become disillusioned with the President and his policies. He devises a plan that will help deal with his problem. Him and his accomplices pose as secret service agents and take up a position in a family's house that has the perfect sniping position. When a local cop (Liotta) shows up Barren's perfect plan starts to unravel. Uwe Boll's trademark seems to be lame movies with poor acting but decent action. This one had both. The movie itself isn't really that terrible but it is also fairly generic and predictable. There have been many movies about trying to stop a presidential assassin and I usually like movies with that plot. I did like this one too but it's not one of the better ones and I don't think I would watch this again. I have not seen the original with Frank Sinatra but I would guess that one is better. I could be wrong though. Overall, nothing terrible but nothing amazing either. I give it a C+
