WTF is this I don't even . . .

I didn't have high expectations for this film when I saw that it starred Danny Dyer, but seriously, this is the worst movie I've ever seen.

Right from the beginning, the choices made by the characters make no sense at all. Everything is rushed, messy and scattered. Even the lines they spoke seemed out of place and badly put together.

The story itself was all over the place, ridiculous, and poorly explained. I still don't understand what exactly happened. Then the movie ends suddenly, just as you're waiting for a proper explanation as to what the feck you just endured.

Worst of all, the quality of the acting was laughably bad. Cringe worthy.

I can't believe I paid good money to see this BS.

Yeh I agree. Easily the worst film I've ever seen. I first suspected it would be rubbish when I saw it was only 75 minutes long. I thought "How poor an idea is it, that they could barely stretch it to feature length?". Now I've seen it, I'm almost tempted to commend them for managing even that, except that the film-makers just got Danny Dyer and Jimi Mistry to have a mockney accent competition for an hour to pad out the rest of the dire garbage.

Don't waste your time, seriously. I've never meant that more. Nobody can enjoy this rubbish.

What was Danny thinking when he signed up to this? The same could be said for the rest of his career choices...

His earlier movies weren't that bad. I liked The Football Factory, The Business and Severance.

Recently though his output has been absolutely awful.

I don't hate the guy, I've seen and enjoyed his performances in other films. I just don't understand how he could have failed so horrifically in this movie. It's like they paid him to act as badly as possible.

Can anyone explain the plot? I was mystified, I see that he was hired to lead them there and there were clones of the chick but FFS why did they need to go there? I don't get it.

I don't think even the writers know for sure.
