Bad Acting, Worse Video Effects, and cheesy, cheesy music!


The acting is horrible! The main actor is sooooo bad. Not to mention a "Will" from Will & Grace lookalike!

This movie would have been halfway interesting if I didn't see everything coming 5 minutes in advance.

The background music was also a contributing factor of why this film is unwatchable. Who thought that music was fitting to this film? Probably the same guy who wrote the score for "Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron".
I ending up hitting mute every time the music came on, even though their was dialog over the music in some parts, their words had little if no relivence to this flick, and couldn't outwiegh the sheer crappyness of the music even if it was relivant.
WHO LISTENS TO THAT KIND OF BLUBBLEGUM FLUFF TRASH?

The worst part also may be the camera effects. I mean is "slow mo" and motion blur" supossed to be cool and pleasing to the eye when it's used every 20 minutes? Im mean I know this was LOW budget, but video filters are cheap if not free on most sites... The effects helped ruin this film... you'll see what I mean if you ever feel like boring yourself to sleep watching this one.

however the ending caught me by suprise, and that was only because it was so lame and made no sense to the rest of the movie that I was perplexed into wondering if the Director actually thinks we'll buy that horrible implossible ending...?

Yea I could do without the motion blur and the music but the story is good and the acting is good so I'd give it a 6/10

Yes the plot of the movie was very good! I liked it and happen to catch it when I turned on to watch CW18 out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They show movies like this late at night and I loved it!
