Dead on Arrival

I give this film a max of 4 stars,because its a non-impressive and low cost production,with below average acting cast, a complex plot that is rather simple,but it kills itself because its too slow. what i really miss from this louisiana based d-riller is the lack of lousiana dialect in the dialouges,not a single person speaks the good ol' southern sway.not even the local police, nor even the hookers or gangsters does.that is a lousy job. its a film of money,vaccines,poisoning,hookers,fine boats and cars,blood,deceift,crooked police and shadow hals.. whats the 4 stars for? well,nice cinematography and well driven musical score (although not my taste), and some parts of the storys locations are good. wanna see it again,definately not

Well guys and gals... I usually only post a review if the film is truly awful or really good, never in between. So to give you a clue, this film was not good at all!! The script was crap, the plot was crap, the jokes were bad, the acting was truly bad. I regret wasting my time watching this rubbish and think it's pretty 'fishy' for it to have a current rating of... wait for it... 7.2 (shock, horror). Something is defo wrong here. Maybe 2.7, but no way 7 point something.

Oh yeah, the accents were crap as well!

Plot was week, acting poor. I watched it for the high rating but this movie is muck

Im a fan of the original DOA, the 1950 one. There's nothing like the original really but it kept my interest. I laughed a few times at the bumbling gangsters and DB Sweeney. I thought for an indi it was well done. The swamp shots brought me back... i lived in New orleans for 2 years. Nice camera work and music.

Watched it because of the high rating, then I realised it was obviously the cast and crew artificially bumping the IMDB score up.

Very average movie all around from actors, casting, premise, dialogue, setting, story progression etc etc

Not worth a watch unless you are really bored!
