    Pretty Lame Job

    Movie is predictable, boring, and the acting is horrible, only thing I would like to add is I really liked Ruta Gedmintas, never heard of her before but shes hott sh*t and there doesn't seem to be a lot of coverage on her on the web, I definitely hope I see her again somewhere though.....

    This film is by far the worst i have ever seen!! It could very well be the worst movie in human history!! I thought it would be a thrilling story but it kind of looks like a high school project done by students aiming very low.. The acting is so bad that i wanted to cry a some points and the whole story line is so predictable and badly done. Im sorry but no one in their right mind could like this film.

    A whole new dimension of crappy movie

    This film is by far the worst i have ever seen!! It could very well be the worst movie in human history!! I thought it would be a thrilling story but it kind of looks like a high school project done by students aiming very low.. The acting is so bad that i wanted to cry a some points and the whole story line is so predictable and badly done. Im sorry but no one in their right mind could like this film. Its almost like i want people to watch it just so they could share the experience of this high level crap movie. So.. My advice is to watch it some day when your mood is up, so you wont commit suicide! But please, watch it! You will surtenly regret it!

    This movie is different but good

    This flick tells the Story of a clerk by the name of William Archer, who works hard at his job as an accountant and gets very little in return. Although this movie is about this person, who has the most unusual day of his life, the most interesting characters are the two killers that are after him. Both of them are portrayed in a very unique and humane way. The usual movie killer is portrayed as very cold and perfectionist but not these two guys, but they are also no idiots. It find it very difficult to describe them without spoiling the story for you. I can only recommend that you watch this flick and make your own opinion.

    nothing but nothing

    A really bad movie

    This movie, even though with Ian Somerhalder and Ruta Gedmintas whom are hot and good actors fail to make an impression. This low-budget movie couldn't get any worse. Some scenes were plain stupid, you'll know what i'm talking about if you've seen it. In one scene at the hospital, there is a guy who tries to talk to IAN with a gun hidden behind his back, but from the point of Ians view it's easy to spot the gun, since it has a silencer. And half of the gun pops out of his back, really badly done, and of course IAN does not see this. What a laugh!

    The chemistry between IAN and RUTA is acceptable in this movie but their acting is really bad, though the bad acting from the rest of the cast kind of overshadows IAN, so even though they act bad, they still act the best.

    There is no variety to the scenes in this movie, they shoot the entire film in "his apartment" "job" "coffe house" And thats it. The lack of variety made the movie boring.

    The plot in this movie is really cliché, the good old set-up-story. Two men whom lies about working for the federal bureau, but in reality? alleged assassins of some kind. Didn't get the whole part as the movie really did not explain some things, or i wasn't really paying attention during this sleeping pill of a movie.

    Watching this movie will really make you feel sorry for the directors and everybody involved. The script is horrible, acting and the shots. It was really amateurely done, even I could have done this movie...better.

    Only thing which makes this at any way worth seeing is IAN and RUTA, the two pretty faces.. but even that is bad..

    .

    The beginning of this movie is quite OK,The main actor is by far the best actor in the hole movie as he is having a really bad night in the movie whats unfold in an even more worse nightmare like evening.

    But then the bad guys and other people are getting involved.. then the movie is going downwards really hard.(not to mention the weird accents and the weird face a certain women is making trough the film)

    The acting is getting bad and the plot is getting no where at all.

    The overall action is more like talking bullshit then shooting. (next time just shoot and get it over with?)

    and the END doesn't make any sense at all.

    Overall opinion of the film: The build up of the movie is OK the rest is downright an failure.

    give it a 3 for trying.

    Don't say i warned you!.

      Around 32 minutes when the guy who shot the couple talks to the dead bodies leaned on bed, you can clearly see the dead gent breathing as his chest heaves up and down.
