Good script , terrible direction


I thought the story was good , full of twists and turns , not without usual cliches though .

But it looked like it got directed by some video gamer who knows how to make cgi with very limited budget .

Film lacked substance , lacked proper acting .

If done well in a big studio the end product could have been a phenomenon like Sin City .

Given they didn't have the same funding as some indies do with online fundraising, it did well.

And, as this is a rare indie that has also been distributed internationally with success, who knows it may be picked up for a proper movie.

(On a more humorous note - this was produced by the same guy who created the movie "Gamers" - which is based on his real life background as a game creator/game freak).

Low funding isn't an excuse for everything. I can find you 10 historically accurate looking sweaters at the local thrift store for the price of the modern hoodie they put on him to make him look cool. And that's just ONE example of many.

I finally finished "Boy Wonder" last night. Maybe I'll try to finish this too.
