Strictly average movie
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
View MoreThe first 15 minutes of any action/crime/suspense movie is very important as this gains much percentage of the success.Good: ----- (1) filmed in nice locations. (2) Mena Suvari and Martin sheen are two important characters did right justice. (3) Augustine (director) put his maximum effort without doubt. (4) Real light filming.Bads ------ (1) they spent 5million dollars wondering where did it go... (2) Two cops fight not surprises you. What special story you can create with this.. (3) It feels like I am watching a television serial episode not a real movie.. (4) Actress Jasmine Mooney is my sex symbol..Glad to see her full naked in very short scene. She appears as a drugged slave without clothes for 10-15 seconds. I would have picked her role till end of the movie as a drugged slave. Another nude girl is Natasha in sex scene. No idea why Jasmine Mooney is not in a sex scene. Dream to see her again in sequel-2.. This message I am passing to film makers.
View MoreIt is a great movie, but needs to have a parental review. I haven't even gotten 30 minutes into the movie before 2 full blown sex scene hit. The scenes are full nudity and breast are fully out there.I really don't care for movies like this. I am interested in the movie not the sex scene.If I wanted to see a sex scene I would get a porno.I just want to let everyone know what is in the movie. So, not recommended for anyone who doesn't want to see this kind of movie with nudity in it.
View MoreOK for a got-nothing-else-to-do movie. Whomever was in charge of writing stuff in this film needs spelling classes ASAP. Apart from the "Assualt" mistake in the report, the Credits at the end are FULL of errors: The character appears as "Jocob", another one is "Smauel". Then there are three "Sunt Doubles", an "Add'l Firs Assistant B Camera", an "Assitant Costume Designer" and a "Set Cosumers Supervisor". I'm sure there are other goofs I didn't catch, especially among the First and Last Names of people involved in the movie. One positive thing about the movie is FINALLY using people who really do speak Spanish playing the roles of Latinos something Hollywood, completely surrounded by people from Central and South America doesn't usually do. Maybe it was Martin Sheen's influence or that Agustin's ear would hurt from the bad Spanish found in most American movies. Unfortunately, the director wasn't the right person to check the credits or assign that job to whomever did it.
View More... but only if you are a casting director looking to find a formerly A-list actor who has the chops but has not been getting the roles needed to show off her skills.The rest of the film is basically a clinic in how to make a sub-B indie product: 1. Pull together some actors who are slightly past their BEST BY date and will work cheap.2. Lay down the heaviest sound track you can, because everyone knows that deficiencies in the production (direction, lighting, acting, scripting) can be "hidden" if the viewer is distracted by a heavy sound track.3. Shoot the entire film in as much natural light as you can. If anyone complains, call it "authentic". Others of course might just call it "dark." This saves a lot of money.4. Speed up all the action scenes just a little, maybe by dropping a few frames here and there. This makes the action look faster and cooler than it actually is.5. (Optional) If you are the director and writer, give yourself a one-word name -- like Madonna -- so that viewers will remember your work and avoid it in the future Finally, for the record, Martin Sheen is one of my all time faves but PA-LEEZE to imagine he can still play a professional, active-duty, cop at 75 years of age almost qualifies this film as Science Fiction.
