Cage is making an awful lot of bad movies lately so when I saw the rating on this I took a risk and watched it filled with hope he has turned things around. Boy was I wrong. The dialogue, directing, acting was very poor . The story was very badly told and was filled with clichés that would drive anyone crazy. This film was partly shot in Portugal where drugs are legal and I reckon the actor Tommy chong must have passed around a lot of weed to everyone involved because that can be the only explanation how every aspect of this movie was a complete mess.

Another embarrassment to Irish film. The dialogue seems to be written by a chimpanzee and then edited by a 4 year old to make sense of a sort. Acting is not apparent but I cant blame the participants who have to spew out such juvenile attempts at jokes and puns. If this is all the irish comedy talent can do in Ireland I think they should retire gracefully and go back to reading the beano which seems to be the origin of their source material for this extraordinary mess. Technically it looks like the cameraman was having a bit of fun practicing shots he learned in film school, probably because he was bored watching the material he was filming.

This movie has moments of tension, drama and horror, but then so do I after waking up from a night of heavy drinking. Allison Williams is typecast i.e. screwy brunette with screwy eyes. The initial introductory scenes make you believe this script might produce something interesting but then it quickly descends into ridiculous, bizarre and scarcely credible sequence of events. I usually hate the word feminazi but I think the final third of this movie will serve those of that ilk well in their beliefs. This had good beginnings but ended up a truly imperfect mess.
