Dead Wrong

The film opens with four subplots that come together rather quickly. Rollie Barns (Joshua Bitton) is first introduced. He is a killer and a criminal. Billy Evans (Derek Smith) is playing poker with his criminal friend Jacko (Chet Hanks). Jacko wants to bring Billy into his business through a "legitimate" pump-and-dump stock scheme. Ethan Barnes (Rob Schneider) is an adoption and legal paper attorney who drinks and gambles. He owes Rollie money. Jacob Glass (Blake Shields) is getting out of prison for manslaughter. He greets his wife (Rosalie Ward) who can't have children. They want to adopt, but he is an ex-felon and needs the help of a shady adoption lawyer. Billy has a get-rich-quick scheme that involves his wife's (Katrina Bowden) newborn child. Billy is also sleeping with his wife's promiscuous sister (Chelsea Debo). There was enough going on to keep you involved in the plot. It was not twisty but had some curves. Guide: F-word, sex, nudity ( Chelsea Debo)

A whole movie full of unlikable characters doing unlikable things. The baby is the only one you can root for. Discount Mark Wahlberg can't act. Discount Idris Elba is out of gas. Discount ScarJo isn't funny, or sexy. Discount Paul Giamatti couldn't carry it. Plot holes. Choppy editing. Goofy dislodge. Feels like a p9rn flick trying to go legit. I'd pass on this one. There is no resolution. Things happen in unexciting ways and resolve to nothing. There are a lot of still shots of characters not emoting anything. I guess it's supposed to have and poignant, but it's all just awkward. Discount mafia dude was hilarious.

Well, based on a novel, this movie is a slow burner with topical things that happen very often in this world. The title of the movie could have been better. Katrina Bowden as Barbara and. Derek Smith as Billy act well. Insurance fraud is universal and the director (Rick Bieber) handled the subject well. In the movie, the director didn't bother to deal with the status of the insurance compensation from the hospital. Rob Schneider, as Ethan, failed to impress us. No sincere involvement, I would say. Cress Williams as Paul Drake has done justice to his limited role. Overall, if you don't expect too much from a movie with relatively more new comers/unknown actors, this movie will keep you engaged to an extent.
