This movie (if you can call it that) had a 5.2 IMDB rating so I thought, well I've watched movies with lower ratings that were fine for me. How this got more than 1, I'll never know. The acting from the start was as bad as I've seen, the special effects, woeful and story line awful. I just can't stress how bad this movie is. If you don't believe me, just watch the first 5 minutes and you'll know what I mean. This review asks if there are any spoilers? I should have said "Yes, if you watch the movie your whole day will be spoilt" After seeing some of the reviews I am speechless and gobsmacked! 10/10 by some reviews, I believe this is what drove the rating up in the first place, come on, be realistic.

I wrote this while watching the film. The dialogue seemed a little too natural with blandness and obvious errors that people have when speaking without thinking. Some of the technical jargon could have used a little more work on consistency. The hand held camera work is reasonably good without the extreme shakiness that made Bourne Ultimatum so nauseating to watch. Action sequences weren't too bad but could have been more fluid. The short pauses during action scenes would have benefited by replacing them with slow motion. This movie started with a good story line and ended abruptly without completing the story. I don't know what the budget for this was, but it must have been very low. If your prospective is of a group of inexperienced students first attempt at making a movie, then it was a decent attempt. I don't expect this movie to leave the 1 to 5 dollar discount video bin at your local department store.

I just feel my brain cells dying every single second more that I watch this. I can't even comprehend how the producers got their funding etc to showcase this abomination of my mind and senses to the sleeping masses. I feel either the director has begun to lose his mind or the people that got this gig must have been paid with jam donuts as I bet there's no money involved. How can you direct this picture with acting ability akin to a shrew or a robotic wooden human being with brain power of a squirrel. I'm so disappointed that a) I pressed 'watch now' and b) I let this catastrophe of a film impeed my life with such negative emotions that now I can't erase. If you have an ant to watch walking on the floor or watch your pet sleeping will be more entertaining than this superficial awful film that I'm struggling still to comprehend how rubbish it is. I even wake up in the night with nightmares hoping that I can recover.

I made it 6 minutes into this and stopped. Maybe it was 10. I could tell just by watching it that long it was going to be awful. Not sure if I've even given a movie a rating of 1/10 before but this one really deserves it.

Let my start right off by saying that at the time I am writing this review this movie has a 6.5 IMDB score. For most movie lovers and IMDB followers you know that this should mean that this movie should at least be watchable. When I began to watch the trailer i got nauseous! The scenes looked poorly put together the actors lacked the magic for a good movie and while the plot was ok the end result is beyond subpar - and that was easily attained from just the trailer. If you have any doubt feel free to watch the movie and when you're done write your honest review. I'll be very interested to read it.
