What was worse, the acting, the directing or the editing


Ok, so I just finished watching this movie over a 2-day stint and I have to say this was the biggest peace of junk that I have seen in a long time!
VK is awesome, I just watched FELON prior to this and was quite pleased so I wanted to get another dose of VK and thought this would be a good addition, I was dead wrong!
What happened to there jibs, cranes, dollies, etc. Did they not hire a grip for this? Even with all the Hollywood names attached and budget they still decided to use this shaky camera, gritty, guerilla film making which made me to believe that this director had no idea what he was doing? Then I saw his resume and released he was primarily a TV director which made it much clearer on his decision to film this way, but I was still not too impressed.
Also I must say the sound was horrendous, I had to rewind a couple scenes just to make out what they were saying, like it was filmed in a tin can and not to mention some of the ADR was just laughable.
VK performance was as if he just didn’t even want to be there and 50's well lets just say, homey go back to spit'n on the mic, cause you blow as an actor.
Now the editing was the worst by far, some of the effects cheapened the scene not added to them; they were not only amateurish but unnecessary.
The story was the only strong point but with all the other crap placed upon it, it became unwatchable.
This movie gets 1-1/2 out of 5 stars.
I would not recommend.
