Shoot the Sound Department


The sound is so muddled -- partially because members of the cast, of the "talent", mumble -- watching this title is like watching a foreign film. Holy cow! -- sometimes it actually sounds like the soundtrack is running backwards.

Not that better sound recording and mixing would help. THX would do little to help this mess of a movie as it fails in so many departments. 

Not a foreign flick -- just inept genius!

I cannot agree more. I spent the entire movie adjusting the volume. The audio was pitiful and needed subtitles. Never finished watching!

Thanks for the note, Vince4256. Wow -- this title must have left a sour taste with me since I do not recall it -- or my posted comment -- at all now. I'll have to look this movie up!

Thanks, again!
