The Veil

Whom ever wrote the good reviews for this film are smoking that Jumanji!! I was infinitely more amused reading these reviews. No idea what the actual movie was about, who was supposed to be who, where, when, what let alone the why! Seriously, read the reviews, skip the movie. Somethings you're better off not knowing/seeing yourself.

I have no idea what the plot of this movie is... there are dream sequences and flashbacks and flash forwards and nothing is explained. The lack of a decent plot is actually quite astounding; really no point in trying to follow along. The dialogue is completely incoherent and confuses you just as much as the swerving plot does.

The only reason this doesn't get a 1, is because the wardrobe department hit this out of the park. The actors had great costumes and looked quite beautiful, they just had nothing else to work off of.

Netflix "recommended" this movie to me. Normally it would be something I would have enjoyed but the plot, such as it was, was nebulous. Things didn't hook up and the whole mess was difficult to follow. After what was probably the most unsatisfactory ending I have ever watched I was grateful the movie was over.

Positives for the film are good fighting, sparring, and training scenes, nice location scenery, and the hot bod on the main character. While not usually an aspect I would comment on at least it made the film bearable. (I'm probably not allowed to say that these days but there it is. If he objects he can contact me and I'll change the verbiage.)

This film, subsidized by the Oklahoma Film Rebate Commission or something similar, was a lame attempt. Neither the plot nor the characters were developed, the acting quality was sad, and the fight scenes were high school. The Kingdom appeared to comprise a village of 9 or 10 funky black tents and had a similar number of warriors, while the Dominion (opposing dark side) had a few buildings made out of stone and perhaps 20 or 30 warriors. One reviewer said it was better than expected. I would hate to think what it was that he was expecting. The Film Rebate Commission should get their rebate back.

Horrible acting, boring story line, complete waste of time. Levy/Gutierrez should go back to underwear modeling and Spanish soap operas. Leave the acting for real actors. Anpretty face and a hot physique does not constitute acting talent. Do not waste your time watching this film, let alone spend your money buying the DVD.
