Good cast. Not a good movie


First I want to say that it's nowhere near the worst film I've ever seen, but there definitely was room for improvements!

I caught this on the tv yesterday, and was in no way impressed by this.
From the description and seeing who was in it I was really expecting something other than it was.
The first warning sign I got was the car "chase" in the dream sequence in the beginning. I litterally had to palm my face and was really close to turning it off (the movie, not the face). My god that was bad, and the "action" I believe was supposed to be there was non-existing. The police chase in South Park where Kyle and Eric ride their Big Wheels felt like a high speed chase compared to this.
I decided to keep watching though, but after 5-10 mins I really started to notice that the cameraman must have had Parkinson's. It felt like I was watching through the eyes of one of those old people who keep shaking their head from side to side, and progressively it got REALLY annoying.

Then there was ALL the irrational decisions made by the cast.
Would a pregnant woman really grab a knife and start swinging it after two masked men? Maybe, but when Danny tells Gene and Cedric (Sandy is sitting in the car, but it's like it's not adressed to him) to get outta there, and that the police doesn't know who they are, why the HELL are they just walking home from the middle of nowhere? Sandy's driving off anyway. If the cops didn't know who they were I think they couldn't tie those three together anyway. Would it kill him to give them a ride into the city?

I can't remember all of it. Despite seeing it recently it's like it doesn't want to stick there, which may be for the best after all.
