Who is picking these films for Sean Farris? This looks Awful


This guy had the potential to actually be a box office star but whoever is picking his movies is cashing in and doesnt have his best interest at heart. If the trailer for this film was put up at Funny or Die people would think it were a joke, looks just awful.

It has Danny dire in it so had to be bad. That should have been his first clue to avoid this but hey, everyone needs to get paid so maybe he had no choice.

Also apart from noticing if Mr Dire is in a movie, I don't really think many agents/actors can actually tell if it will be awful, passable or great. But its hard to think that after the fact when you see what train wrecks some movies are.

Anyone with half a brain can about the movie industry can tell you if a movie is going to suck. You simply look at the screenplay, actors and especially the director and cinematographer.

How naive you are. If the formula were really that simple, don't you think we'd be flooded with great movies as only the truly idiotic would screw up a simple formula.

Great movies come out of nowhere with unknown actos/directors/writers etc. and industry veterans pump out dire garbage.

There really isn't a magic formula for producing great movies.

Well I gave it a shot for 5 minutes, but the shaky cam was so horrible I gave up.

I wish i quit watching after 5 minutes...

The movie is ... a painful experience. It still hurts.

Funnily enough, it sounds like what happened to Danny Dyer, who initially appeared in some really decent films, but has done nothing but D-list, 2/10, straight-to-DVD garbage ever since. It's like the poor guy just can't catch a break. I'm pretty sure he even admitted at one point that he's now officially a joke in the British film industry, and that he's only doing such films because he needs the money.

What is interesting is that Sean Farris is among the Executive Producers also.
Talk about someone picking the films for him. Its like when we were wondering why Van Damme appeared in the pathetic sequel of Universal Soldier, and it turned out that he himself showed interest in this venture.
