Okay, I understand that the movie industry has to put out a certain number of films each week in order to fill the screens with new stuff to attract the punters paying their money to be entertained for a couple of hours. I understand that this will mean that some pretty average films will end up on the big screen that really don't deserve to ever be there. But do they honestly have to be this bad?
This would appear to be another film that got made because someone thought they had a great angle with which to tell a very average story. News flash: it was not a great angle to tell a story. It was a painful way to tell a story, assuming that there was something worth telling in what passes for the story here.
I have no idea who wrote this abysmal screenplay but at a guess it must have been someone about the age of 13 – yes it really is that bad. Puerile is the only way I can describe the writing and that is probably being too kind. I have no idea how to describe the acting, as I am not sure there was any acting actually involved here. Both of the leads were awful, completely unable to emote on any level. I presume that they were solely chosen on the basis that they look good.
The direction lacked focus and had a tendency to wander far too much. A poor script like this one needs a much clearer focus, a much more assured hand to try and make something coherent out of the material. What is found here is almost the antithesis of what the film required and the inexperienced director was not exactly helped by an even more inexperienced cinematographer.
The whole film in every respect comes across as an amateurish attempt at making a big film. It failed at every level. It is so bad that it took me three sittings to get through just one viewing of the film. I would not in a million years contemplate ever trying to watch it again.
Woeful story, poorly directed, badly acted, unimaginative cinematography, interminably long – take you pick as to which made the biggest contribution to the murder of this film.
