I am sorta lost for words. I don't think I've ever given a 2 rating. Maybe for a movie that was in terrible taste.
This movie is just frighteningly bad. How on earth did they get the funds to shoot this. Must have been a completely oblivious Angel funder.
The directing and acting are childish and at such an amateurish level I suspect most of us could do a better job.
How they forced the production value into this film I will never understand. The cinematography and music is occasionally decent with pretty scenery, but except for the opening scene of the city, still nothing we haven't seen done much better. And really, the scenery did most of the work.
So beyond that one aspect which gains two stars, the rest is unbelievably bad.
Acting: terrible
Directing: terrible.
Circumstance: ridiculous (specifically the psychiatrist scene and the robbery scene)
Historical exposition: contrived and exploitive/manipulative (and even failed at trying to do that)
Really did feel like people were reading their lines from a teleprompter for the first time.
I really tried to not sound too pretentious writing this. Sorry if I chose words that sounded as such. But I was really stretching trying to find the words to explain how bad this movie was. It's a b-movie not worth watching. It has no redeeming qualities or cultish fun. I don't think I've ever given such a scathing review where I couldn't find some redeeming qualities to a film.
If I was to recommend watching this, it would only be so you could discover something so bad as to be completely mind boggling and uniquely bazaar that it could ever be released.
