All Hell Broke Loose

I like westerns and sniper type movies so I was looking forward to this film but I think this was the worst movie I have ever seen. It was so bad it was funny. In fact if the makers said it was made because they were trying to make the worst movie in history I wouldn't be surprised. The script could have been written by a 10 year old and the acting (if you could call it that) was absolutely terrible. Some of the lines were fluffed and they didn't bother re-shooting the scenes. The timing of the lines was none existent and meaningless, they were basically just saying the lines with minimal emotion as if they just learned each line seconds before and had no clue how to deliver them. The editing was terrible and just cut from one scene to the next with no fluidity so it was hard to figure out what was going on. The camera work was horrific, sometimes the picture would tilt slightly and at one point it was on a character and tilted up until he was almost out of the shot and quickly came back down as if the cameraman tripped. The "sharpshooter" couldn't hit a grown man standing in the open from 20 yards with a long scoped rifle. This is a guy who has 1000 yard confirmed kills. He was practicing trying to hit a watering can from 30 yards with the rifle and missing, he could have thrown the rifle at it and hit it from that distance. Avoid this movie unless you have a choice between watching this and being drowned in your own excrement. Actually the excrement drowning is a better option.

I've seen a lot of terrible movies but this takes the cake. High school drama class plays are better acted than this. I can't believe David Carradine let his name be attached to this nonsense.

Bad shooting, bad acting, etc. Some of these people looked like it was the first time they'd held a gun. The cut scenes were dumbfounding and the forced accents were atrocious.

There's a lot of over-pronounced wording going on here, too. It's like they recited the lines just before the scenes and simply recited them without feeling or emotion.

Truely seriously horrible acting.... So much so that, I don't regularly write reviews but, in this case I had to make an exception. My elderly father loves westerns and is normally completely unaware of the bad acting or irregularities in plot or sets and even he found this unwatchable.

Combine a western and David Carradine and you would think you could not lose but this film actually manages to disappoint.

Starting with the video, there is something terribly wrong. It looks like a failed class project at a film school. The transition between shots is rough and occasionally mistimed. The quality itself gives the appearance that main characters were filmed in front of a projection screen rather than on scene.

The audio is horrible. It sounds as if the entire audio track was recorded in a studio and then dubbed onto the film. It does not always appear to coincide with the mouth movements of the actors. The background sounds seem to be missing and just do not sound natural.

The acting is horrible with some characters appearing to simply be reading for a part.

I actually bought the used Blu-Ray for $1.34 thinking I could not lose. I was wrong.

This is the scariest movie number 0. If you attempt to watch this film i feel sorry for you .It is a very bad attempt to shoot a western film .After a couple of scenes you can realize that it is unwatchable is the kind of movies that even if they pay you you don't go to watch.I m not gonna refer to the script as there's not any script.This is the kind of movie that everyone in the neighborhood can shoot with a video camera running at the streets filming and everybody will shout go away with your camera stop it !The actors were like they saying go away with your camera stop filming at me! think that some guns were so rusty as they took it for free from the dead grandpa's house decoration above the fireplace and it is impossible to shoot with rusty rifles like this and the guy was holding it like it was a baseball bat.Jesus this is the ugly the ugly and the ugly movie.I am wondering how many different films people from this production made in a single week.If this movie will come as a gift in Christmas i will stop believing in Santa Claus ...

I'll give this a little bit of credit for not being stupid and not being obnoxious, but a film has to have something to offer other than not being stupid or obnoxious to make it worth watching.

I wanted this movie to succeed but the writers seemed to have forgotten one of the first rules of writing a script. Unlike a book that takes place primarily in the character's head, a movie is a story told primarily in pictures.

In other words, All Hell Broke Loose has too much talk and not enough action or interesting visuals.

The performances of David Carradine and lead actor Jim Hilton are decent, but that's about all this has going for it.

What's really and truly sad is that this amateurish production is Carradine's last western appearance, pitiful considering his enjoyable past work in "Kung Fu" and The Long Riders.
