Cade: The Tortured Crossing

Ok, where do I start.

To begin with, the lack of talent of this monumentally delusional fella is unparalleled. People might say 'The Room' is the worst movie ever, and it probably is, though I do beg to differ. In my humble opinion that would be the case had not Neil Breen ever existed. Sadly though, he did.

I have seen all of his so-called movies. They all are undeniably horrible; non existing writing & cinematography, delusional characters, Mr Breen himself that can only do good even when he's on various killing sprees, wooden acting (especially on his part,) lack of facial expressions (times-two on his part), the list goes on.

And, after having carefully 'considered' his pedigree, I must say that 'Cade: The tortured Crossing' reaches - by a long shot - the peak of senile stupidity.

Neil Green is a strange animal, even stranger than the white are-you-kidding-me-what-is-this-CGI tiger present in this mega turkey. I mean, each movie he makes, things get worst. He seems not to be able to understand anything on moviemaking, wrapped in his (I'd guess) heavily self medicated self delusion.

I cannot get past the childish attitude this untalented fella projects on the screen. I cannot get past the moment he saw a... "Hey, look! A green screen! OMG now I can make a whole movie disregarding (even more than before) perspective, storytelling, acting. I gotta run though, gotta use as many pictures as possible from my ShutterStock free trial.

A Romanian Castle? Perfect!

A dilapidated building? Right on!

The Austrian Alps? Fantastic!

Whatever? Even better!

Who cares!! Now I will be able to do any nonsensical no-sense anytime I want. Tell you what, from now on call me Neil Green." Ok, all jokes aside he clearly must have some kind of issues, and I am saying that because no functioning person can misuse a brain the way he does.

I need to add something else. I have never reviewed any of his stuff, this time I had to. Especially after having noticed the scam he's pulling off here on the IMDB database. The scores this master-crap is receiving (10s after 10s) reflect a troubling state of affairs. Clearly, the desire to inflate ratings means that among this man's numerous negative qualities a new one, perhaps the worst, is emerging: deception.

Enough now. Let's just end it by saying I wouldn't wish my worst enemy watching this pile of crap.

Please Neil Breen, please stop this insanity. Yes, you have a Ferrari, and yes you are and forever will be the good one, we got it. We finally did. So now your work's done. Please, disappear. Please.

If you watch his "restrospective" you hear him, repeating himself as always 10000 times, that he always want to improve and up with every next movie. You see nothing of that sort here. While the first 2 movies you can excuse for being terrible due to lack of experience, but this is 6th movie.

This movie has terrible script, it seems like written by a 5 years old. Or worse. It's flat, it has bad dialogues full of repetition and single sentences. 0/10 No flow, no cinsistency, no nothing.

Acting - his acting has not improved since his 2nd movie, wooden and stiff as always. 0/10 Some of the other actors are bad too, few have potential but they ruin that potential in participating in such production.

SGI - he again performed worse than before. He uses much more cgi than before but it's as bad as it can be. 5th grader could do much better work than this. 0/10

So, yet again he is the allpowerful and almighty being that saves everything and everyone. Someone should just drink their medication instead i guess.

I am usually all down for bs bizzare joke fan movies, as long as they fully know they make joke movie not serious stuff. Here we have nothing of that sort.

Yet another movie i dont recommend , and a director that should either hire a writer, or just stop alltogether. Movie is unwatchable. The worst one out yet.

P. S all these 8-10 ratings we see around are so fake boosting the movie too much. This movie should be above "The Room" which is like a masterpiece in comparison.

I didn't think there would ever be a movie to top the.1997.seminal masterpiece Booty Call with Jamie Foxx and Tommy Davidson, but it has finally happened.

This movie has everything. Giant chairs, 3 second looped fighting clips, dialogue, and even acting. What more could you want?

I can't imagine how long Neil spent doing location scouting on shutterstock, but it was certainly worth the time. The scenery is amazing. I've never seen JPEGs seem so alive!

The script is so complex. I didn't have any idea what was going on, but that's just because I'm a moron compared to the Breenius that wrote it.

I stumbled upon this person's imbd page because life can be cruel. Intrigued, i went to the official site for the film, and subjected myself to the horrors of watching the trailer. What happened during, as well as the aftermath is sonething I wish not even on my worst enemy.

Let's begin with the "acting" (if it can even be considered that). I have watched adult films that have better acting than this. Hell, my dog (may she rest in peace), once faked an injury in order to stay in bed all day. Her acting was far better than what I saw in this (I know she was faking because I had knee surgery, and within minutes of getting home with a my leg immobilized, she suddenly started limping - plus the vet who examined her said there was absolutely nothing wrong... By dinnertime, she was running and jumping all over the place).

Then there's the green screen... Was every "set" a green screen? You're telling me they couldnt even be bothered to rent some warehouse and adapt it?

Fight scenes.... Enough said...

If you're a glutton for punishment, or need to atone for some really bad things you did in the past, then watch the trailer.. Might even get you karma points for future bad acts. If you really want to suffer, watch the entire film. I'm not going to subject myself to that level of torture, but you may be a bit stronger than me.

In short: A wealthy benefactor funds a hospital to study genome editing that is plagued by black-market medicine theft and poor maintenance.

Neil Breen makes many decisions in this film that, if they were part of a more complete and coherent vision, would be bold and truly represent ambitious B-movie filmmaking.

Aesthetically: The entire movie is shot in green screen, over stock photos. Establishing shots are also stock footage. This is really exciting to me; it represents a really interesting way to do a film on a budget and nobody else would dare to do a film that way.

Narratively: The first 20 minutes of this movie has a lot going on, and it honestly made me wonder if Breen had learned from his previous films. He's certainly learned a few editing tricks. But as the film continues, it's clear that Breen still hasn't figured out how to write a plot with a beginning, middle, and end; scenes happen in seemingly random order and repeat information.

And as usual for Breen, characters speak vaguely without specific details or characterization. This is especially frustrating because it feels like this film, of all his post-Fateful Findings films, really has a clear and interesting premise.

Ultimately I came out of this film really wanting to see Breen direct another writer's work, or another writer direct a Breen screenplay. Both the central narrative idea and the directorial style have interesting things to say, but they both need some external contribution to really make them click.
