Ya, fake votes do kinda suck, but eventually it averages out. I thought the movie was semi decent though, not the greatest ,far from the worst. I gave it a 6 , wasnt too bad.
i'm actually in the middle of watching it now. i had to come and vote a 1 to counter the 10s. most of the votes have to be people that worked on the film. it's ridiculous! thanks to piracy, i didn't lose any money. i can't believe people continue to push out new movies every weekend with the state of the economy and the world. i'm on unemployment, so i'm not even buying PS3 games any more. where are the people that fund these projects? can i get some home addresses? if you're just going to throw money away, then let me have some.
Sigh. You do realise that almost every film on IMDB, indie or not, has fake votes. Pick any film like Transformers, Last Airbender or whatever. They all have 10/10 votes by either fanboys wanting to push a film up or just due to people screwing with the numbers for the sake of it.
That's life.
Don't you see that calling for people to vote it 1/10 without seeing it makes you just as bad? Well done hypocrite.
Oh, and to point out - I'm in no way affiliated with this film or it's production. I'm a 22 year old male from the UK. I found the film to be easily watchable. It wasn't exactly fantastic material but still a worthwhile watch. It's not the 10/10 number up votes but nor is it the hypocrite votes of 1/10.
Brentnobody: go out and get a damn job then or at least don't whine about it to the internet as a means of justification of stealing. People who make movies do it because they want to. Maybe they want to support prospective filmmakers, maybe they are involved in the film themselves - it's their money, how do you have any right to tell them how to spend their own money?
The arrogance of some people. Especially people like you who openly admit to stealing and then complain about other people and money.
Besides which, crying fake votes is conjecture no matter how sure you might be that it's happening: you don't have access to voters' identities nor do you know the hidden figures.
People tend only to notice bias when it's goes against their own gut-level reactions. They don't realize how frequently the bias is in their favor, nor how often people might write positive reviews before a later preponderance of negative reactions intimidates future reviewers or conditions their POV.
I thought the film was breathtakingly illogical, but I liked the acting and appreciated its taking the piss out of the sanctity of parenting. Tabrell sounds stiff in the unnecessary final scene because of the direction in it, which pushed her to hesitate unnaturally. She's good the rest of the way through despite some of the dialogue.
I'd thought the writer had handled the issue of gender and villainy really well until the end. Up to that point, the villains (including the killer) seemed fairly interesting.
It was odd how often the lines sounded as if they were written for speakers at a conference panel rather than women thrown into a perilous life-or-death situation.
I agree with the notion that there are always some fake voters and that we should vote how we truly feel.
Voting a 1 to counter a 10 is silliness.
And lets face it, even if 100 people on a film or related to someone in the film voted 10 (which I doubt would ever happen), that wouldn't really change the average too much when common films have over 10,000 votes.
