Crystal

...and it shows. Jason London ('Dazed and Confused", "Broken Vessels') who is a Hollywood talent and played the dirty cop was paid $40. This story (much like my figures as to how much the talent was paid) was not really based on a true story either. I read an interview that was with the director/writer Michael Sneed, and there was absolutely no mention of this being based on a true story. Ever since "Fargo" did it, now everyone seems to do it. I gave it a 2 because I found the lack of talent and various screw ups in the final cut to be both amusing and humorous.

It's not one of the entertaining worst films, it's the worst that you wish you'd never seen. I stumbled across this while doing a bit of a rabbit hole on streaming for London brothers films and this is one Jason's. I've always thought Jason was the more sturdy actor of the two and it's still true. His talent is wasted in this movie as the crooked cop who haunts a drug house.

The movie is aimless from an audiences perspective almost like if the creative force behind it were writing and producing it while on tranquilizers. It's harmless but, there are so many things that are at least a little bit more entertaining as in having at least a minor amount of artistic intent behind them. This reads like a generic idea with a series of dramatic scenarios having no scripted dialogue and virtually none of the cast should do improv. If there was a script...they should've gotten a better one. 99 percent of the people who start this movie won't finish the first 5 minutes and I don't blame them because the movie is aimless and it only becomes moreso as it moves on.

I saw a few reviews before watching the movie- and they all mostly said the same thing "bad acting". So, just like the film "Eight Days" I has to go check it out and all I have too ay is...

Wow?

Wow with a question mark because, while the actors are bad- and so of the dialogue is exaggerated- I feel as if this movie could've actually went places had it been treated better- and with a higher budget along with better actors- and maybe even a few changes in the dialogue. But overall, I love how "mature" Crystal seems for her age- because that's the reality of neglected kids.

They grow up faster.

I don't understand what the deal is with this movie. Was it a social experiment? It was that bad! All of the acting in it was horrible. I highly doubt that most of the people acting in the film ever took real acting lessons. It is that bad. Many of them seemed like they were reading from a script during the filming. It was that bad. Again, I have searched online and cannot find anything that explains why this movie has such terrible acting. But, on the positive side, I have a much greater appreciation for real actors now. They deserve every penny of the millions they make. Maybe some of the people in this awful movie who pretended to be actors will someday be more convincing and come off as professional actors. Yes, it was THAT BAD.

The only one who could act was a little girl who came up to Crystal at the diner who gave her spare change. The grandmother was ok. The two main characters could be decent with some acting lessons but to be fair the dialogue was hard to pull off for the characters. Anyway, there are much better similar movies out there.
