By Any Means

Gave up watching this, it's hot garbage. Really, it adds nothing to the genre...

Technically awful, corny, derivative and boring.

The director should be shot, failing that put in a one man dinghy and cast adrift in the ocean so he get get near cinema again!

This is not a ten, but its far from a 1.

The acting is not real good, you can tell most of the actors are acting, including the two main characters. Good actors seem like real people when they do their character in contrast these actors seemed like actors trying to be real people. I did think the homely black woman was a real cop though, so kudos to her for selling her character. Most of the others were adequate, they did not bring the movie down.

The real strength of the movie lies in its script, the story line. You are not given a body count, special effects or a gratuitous booby count, so a lot of modern viewers may not be that interested in this movie.

You are given an interesting movie and pretty good direction,

''Hold on a minute--don't get up yet and leave.''

This thought seeped in after the first 5 minutes was endured.

''Give it a chance, man ''

But no, became apparent this flick was a fail. '' CLICK OFF ''

C- list actor described in the summary was in fact a bad B list actor in reality. The male antagonist, worse, hey! he might have been C- listed though.

Where the feeling of being 'gripped' was derived from, know not.

My interest was never piqued - the bored disappointment at every scene took me over and turned me off.

By Any Means, was entertaining from beginning until the end. I didn't see the twist coming but it was very satisfying for a viewer. The film has a great cast, the acting is strong, and it is very well realized especially considering the budget. You can imagine something like this movie happening in real life. It is worth the watch without a doubt. Why not watch and try and see if you can guess what happens in the end!

Absolute drivel. I've seen far better films on Lifetime. Fake ratings have bumped up the IMDb score. I only happened across this garbage on a free streaming site. I want back the 30 minutes I lasted. This movie is about 84 minutes too long. Story is rubbish. Acting is rubbish. Dialogue is farcical and clichéd. Go read the latest copy of OK! magazine instead.
