Unrealized potential


This had potential, but sadly, it proved to be too extremely disjointed and lacking in continuity and focus. The seeming obsession with David Lynch influenced shots and soundscapes also wore on me.......not because I don’t thoroughly enjoy Lynch, but mainly because I’d like to see a young film maker develop his or her own unique style. It may of course improve on a second watch as many films do.

True, this movie HAD potential. For some reason, the fight scenes feels like its in a dream or something...it seems they're fighting in slow motion. Acting isn't good either. Couldn't finish the whole movie.

Me either and I very much like this genre.

WAY too dark. No lighting at all, very frustrating to watch. Felt like some feverish dream which can work but completely lacking in actual acting talent as well made this impossible to watch and ... even the titles of the locations and the Bladerunner like back-story at the start of the film were impossible to read off the screen. Irritating.

I also was unable to finish this movie for all the reasons stated above.
Please do not waste your time with this one.

Try and finish the film. Very well done.

Yeah, I agree with most of the comments here. Had potential, but the filming, disorienting sequence (the strange fighting sequence in the ally way, followed by dark shot after dark shot, also in the desert, all of a sudden it cut to a fighting sequence with no connection to the previous sequence; no idea what's going on as far as I'm concerned), dark picture (way too dark), inconsistent audio, make this way too frustrating to watch.

Most of the acting is pretty bad. The supporting actors are better than the lead.

I also found it corny the slow motion "tough guy" swagger that the director put himself in a couple of times. It's quit distracting. Oh yeah, and you could use some work on your posture. That's also quite distracting.

I had to fast forward the movie as it was painful to follow.

Maybe he can try another movie where he won't put himself in the main role, at least until he gets better at acting. He's not quite Mel Gibson yet.
