Got It From Redbox Today


I wasn't sure what to expect from this film. The plot sounded interesting enough so I plopped down the faithful visa for this big $1.09 charge. It started out 'student filmish' looking with the feel of a handheld video camera which bummed me out right off the bat. Guess what? Yep, you guessed it, it stays that way from start to end. The idea is that the audience is watching lost tape of one of the three friends that recorded the plan from it's inception through completion. You get used to it fairly quickly so it wasn't too much of a bother. It never gets scary or anything. It is somewhat intersting watching them go thorugh with what they have now decided they are doing no matter what and if any one of them decides to back out they have all taken an oath to take their own life so the others can continue on. Well, their is a hitch in the plan as one actually develops a liking to the target. It is OK, I'll give it that. But, I'd hate to spoil the fun for anyone else excited about seeing this so I'll hold my tongue. See it if your buddy rented it and he or she will loan it to you, if you happen to have the flu or something and are bed ridden and your cable is shut off and you have no other movies. Don't waste your money though.

"Mockumentaries" don't bother me so much...I guess I was a little "generous" with my 5/10 rating..I also wrote a review (since there seemed to be NONE), but pretty much had the same sentiments as the OP...it did tend to "drag" every now & then, but I've seen WORSE!
