Just DON'T let the POSTER trick you!!!


I swear this was so disappointing, all. If you're wide awake and don't need an hour of sleep, past this up!

For a thrilling 20 secs, the movie's eye catching poster caught "and" held my attention . But then I read who lucked up on the leading role and got a gut feeling that thrilling 20 secs would be the only good thing affiliated w/ this movie

Beginning around five yrs.ago, most roles Eric Roberts took summed up to low budget flicks and bad directing, "or" a bad script and bad acting. Unfortunately, this summed up to all four including a depressing plot. Additionally, in the first 5 mins we all observed Mr. Roberts didn't take his part seriously at all. Idk, maybe he assumed the film wouldn't reach the U.S., or beyond Germany? Who knows but don't get me wrong, I still respect him very much as a man and human being.

Lastly, although actor Peter Greene's co starring role is what got me to bite the bait, I hadn't seen Mr. Greene acting for awhile and wasn't aware that he began taking the most worthless straight-to-DVD flicks. That would explain why the entire cast also seem to have as much chemistry as a bunch of 5-year-olds at an Easter photo shoot.
