Reviews sound to good to be true


Wow !!! According to the imdb reviews this film is "bloody brilliant" with ratings in the 9 & 10 star range...
Either this film rates up with Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather or the reviews are stacked up by people associated with the film...
I use imdb to hopefully get a lead on a film I might wanna see but I have been burned by these bogus reviews before...
I guess the only way to know for sure is to watch it myself....

Unfortunately fake reviews and inflated ratings are just the norm on here. I actually liked this movie, thought it was done well.

I just watched it last night. I give it maybe a 6 or 6.5 out of 10. It's definitely low budget and some of the things that happen aren't very logical but if you can overlook a few things it's a solid watch but nothing more.

i watched and i liked....and one could argue that if films were rated on
"a curve" in regards to budget this film may of rated a 9 or 10..
but in the real world were a rating should be a representation of the finished product i would give this film a 6 or 6.5..thats not bad at all imo

I put a 7 on it; if you are looking for something straight-forward without explosions and shiny stuff, but with tension and good acting, give this film a try. There are glitches, but they are forgivable.

I give it a six. All I could think while watching this movie is "Why?" Why did the actors agree to do the film? They're decent actors but the film was really missing some oversight. I don't know what the director was thinking. Maybe he was just following a dream and was just happy to be making the film regardless of the final product.

It looked like whoever did the directing, editing, and shooting were just on the cusp of becoming professionals. There were some camera angles, lighting, cuts, make-up, and a commitment to the genre that could have made the movie fantastic. Unfortunately, whoever was in charge didn't know how to work with the tools he was given. It could have been so much better. But it was a decent effort if it was just a learning exercise.

I didn't hate it. But I was disappointed. The actors were trying though. They worked for their paychecks, that's for sure. They were just let down.

I thought it was pretty average, not quite a made for TV feel about it but down that end of the scale. I agree with some others in saying that the actors did a good job with what they had. If it's on TV watch it but don't expect too much from it. It gives you plenty of time to think about other things as there isn't too much going on with this movie, it's pretty straight forward.
