Beyond Paradise (1998)
Are you kidding me
This movie is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I am shocked at how many positive reviews. Someone really had the nerve to compare this to "Once Were Warriors." Besides the lack of budget and the horrible acting, the story sucks too. WHAT IS THE STORY??????? There is no plot, there is nothing, there is no romance, no story, no character build. It is a stupid movie which appears to be trying to show how rough and cool native Hawaiians are, that being said I have to assume the writer, director and anyone else involved with the making of this movie had to have been teenagers.
Low budget movies can be forgiven to an extent, but where this really misses the mark (besides everything else that makes a movie watchable) is the acting. The lead character Mark Thompson, where did they find this guy, I am really curious if this guy ever tells anyone he was in a movie and then shows this off. God it's embarrassing, "you your having a baby", "I'm sick of Hawaii and I'm sick of you", "I'm sick of you and your drugs. I laugh every time I see this guy, I'm a white dude and I would bully this guy too if I ever met anyone as weak and wormy as Mark Thompson in real life. The other characters suck too, the Hawaiian friends he makes all act they are 12 instead of their late teens. Just because someone from your little island in the middle of the pacific made a movie about your little island doesn't mean it's good, the movie sucks and you have to accept it.
