Peter Five Eight

When films are following a generic formula, they're often neither great nor terrible, just.. generic. This is the exception however; it's not generic, it's baaaad.

The set pieces are poorly executed and it looks like they spent the budget on Kevin's hairpiece (they should look for a refund) and the acting is nothing short of abysmal.

It's a funny duck you have Jake Weber, Kevin Spacey and. Rebecca De Mornay; three actors that it wouldn't be a massive stretch of the imagination to call them veterans, yet they just aren't good here - not good at all.

All I can say is that this is not a fun film; in fact, it's not even a watchable film.

Avoid.

Peter 5:8 KJV: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour"

It kicks off like amateur hour. Affectation creeps in as if someone is trying to sell something cheap as much more valuable. At one point it looks like it is going to turn into a David Lynch film. Something big seems to be going on, with millions of dollars being transferred to the Kevin Spacey character. In the end, it's all just pointless: the Bible quote, the devil, the guilt, the hitman. Nothing adds up. There is no thrill, no intrigue, no action, no (dark) humor. The bloated Kevin Spacey is quite unappealing. Actually going with the idea that this is just a parable, with Spacey as the devil, will make the whole film look even more ridiculous.

Hope. What can get you through this movie is hope. The hope that it will turn into something better. The love for Kevin Spacey, Rebecca De Mornay or Jet Jandreau. A deep faith in religious movies. But first and foremost hope.

This film is about an out of place real estate agent named Sam (Jet Jandreau) and her Joe Dirt looking Husband Travis (Michael Emery) living in a small Washington town. When a shady looking character by the name of Peter (Kevin Spacey) shows up asking questions about Sam's past. The film also stars Rebecca De Mornay (Brenda) Jake Weber (Lock) Garrett Smith (Grant). The film is written and directed by Michael Zaiko Hall, who did a poor job in my opinion. If this was how Kevin Spacey was to make his comeback it was a major swing and miss. The plot which was fine but it was overshadowed by such poor acting and overacting as well. A community theater production could have done a better job. At times I thought maybe they were trying to make it so bad in attempt it to be good. Such a waste of talent not sure what they were thinking when they signed up for this role. Disappointing.

Apparently this isn't the director's first movie. Which is bad because that's the only thing that would excuse this amateurish nonsense. Actors are bad, editing is *really* bad, camera is bad, dialogue is bad, and I am not sure I can watch enough of this to see if the story is equally as bad. I laughed more in the first seven minutes of this than in some comedies, it is so ridiculous. And this isn't even taking into account that Kevin Spacey is in this dreck. I almost felt sorry for him (but not really, obviously). I hope the director goes to film school or something next. I have seen movies with far smaller budgets that were first time projects that had so much more talent and ideas and knowledge. This is just laughably bad.

First of all, this movie has no Comedy and no thrill. Kevin Spacey possibly did the movie for one of the following reasons: 1. He lost a bet 2. He had too many speeding tickets and the judge order community service hours.

3. He got his head bumped and lost it for a couple of weeks.

Or this is a college project for a group of Art students and it happens that Kevin is the uncle for one of those students, so he was doing them a favour!

This movie is a failed attempt to blend European cinema with Indie style in an American fashion. But the result is a boring and visually poor cinamogr

Avoid this movie with all cost.
