Terrible, terrible, terrible

Waste of time. Feel bad for the actors, and anyone who spent time on this movie. Its clichéd, bad fight scene, poor set up of scenes, and the dialogue is terrible. It was one of the worst movies I'd ever seen back in 2004. Some movies are so bad they're good. This movie is so bad its bad. I can't believe money was spent on it. Thankfully this appears to be the last time the director made a film. It could have been better with a re-write, a re-shoot, and a new director. I wasted a couple of hours of my life watching this, and I will never get it back. This should be used at film schools on how not to make a film. I know the director was passionate about it, but was a total pile of stink. It happens. Hopefully the people who made this film have put this behind them. Its a sad thought that so many helped to make such a piece of garbage. Save yourself the trouble, and avoid ever seeing this film.
