Wow, that was some wooden acting!


From the English guy I mean. I've not seen him in anything else, so maybe he took some lessons and improved massively to get the jobs he's landed since this, but I almost couldn't finish the film because of him.

I'm 20 minutes in and felt compelled to start a similar thread. The lead characters are uninspired and irritatingly "teeny", I'm almost lost for words at how abysmal it is.

Just to drive the stake in further it has a horribly cliché and predictable story, I'm not even half way through and I've already got a fairly solid idea of what is going to transpire.

Also I wish I could ring the necks of IMDB staff who rate these films. A 5.7 for this? Are you kidding me? I shouldn't be surprised considering how they rated Grave Encounters a 6, what an utter joke.

I've got the point where I don't even bother taking their ratings into consideration, nor Rotten Tomatoes, because they are both hopeless. Slamming decent, deserving indy films and then dick-riding, cliché-ridden, borefests.

Sorry about the rant.

Wait...do you actually think that these ratings are given to films by the "IMDB staff"?

If you can't even figure out what's happening in real life, maybe you shouldn't be so sure you've figured out the movie...

I dunno. I think his character was supposed to be a rather snooty, condescending, dry, spoiled British, rich kid which is exactly how he came across.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

I was hoping he might summon up an emotion for the final scene, but no. He just stood there gawping with the same bland puppy dog look on his face.

His acting in the ending scene with the gun as he holds it up to Bon Jovi is so bad its cringeworthy.
