I loved the premise, the cast was great, a story that had so much *beep* potential amount to an unfinished film. I would love to have the whole cast and I would like to make this movie so that it has a real ending keeping the damn twist with a potential lead to a follow up film. Not this unfinished movie.
shareI would also like to remake this film with the whole cast, a better script and a much better ending. The main thing I would also do is give Olivier Gruner and Sasha Mitchell more active roles because even by their brief appearances in the film their characters seemed likable and would've definitely made the film more entertaining.
shareThe screenplay is decent, but what was up with Pyun?
The mise en scene was claustrophobic as hell. Seriously, this film had too many close ups, probably to hide the production design, which I think was really cheap. This type of direction makes sense with a film like Deceit, but in a grand, epic, fantasy story, with many locations, characters and battles? I don't think so. It really hurts the film when you have character confrontations. You can't see anything or get a sense of where characters are. It's a dizzying nightmare.
I understand it's mostly a melodrama with a lot of dialog, but I still think more effort could've gone on framing and shot composition.
