SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
cpanch This film is the first to be shown in a first person, and it really helped to put yourself in henry place. Some motion were to quick, and did make me feel sick, but for an action film it does that. This movie is great if you just want to see gore, action, and comedy. I would recommend this movie, but their is a feeling that this would be a great game, I can imagine myself playing this. In the end it is still and enjoyable film.
Ian Here we go with another writer/director movie. You know that doesn't bode well.It's essentially a movie of a first-person shoot 'em up. Many reviews complain of the shaky camera work, others defend it.The problem is, it's not true to life (as true to life as any camera shot can be), Quick proof. Nod your head. Do you look up then down as you nod? No, your eyes stay fixed in front of you, only your head moves.Of course, that's not simple to portray from a first person viewpoint but that's the director's problem, not the viewer's but is IS made the viewer's problem, because the shaky action is shaky camera action. When you're running around, your viewpoint changes rapidly but it's not disorientating as it is in the movie.Anyway...It's a nice idea very, very, very, very - sorry, sometimes there's just no other way to create emphasis than to repeat a word several times - very, very, very, badly executed. A few minutes of this would be fine but a whole just doesn't work.The thing is, the plot as such would work just as well if told in normal cinematic terms (i.e. third or omni person viewpoint) so it's merely a gimmick and detracts from rather than adds to the movie.Interestingly, the highest IMDB rating came from the under 18s. So maybe as you get older you get more experience and become more discerning.You can't help but think the writer/director si trying to say what a clever writer/director I am rather than trying to tell a good story and make a good movie. Such is often the way with writer/directors.So, if it's on TV sometime, give it a try, you can always switch off or fast forward. If you're under 18 you may even like it...PS: This is not to suggest that under 18s have no discernment, of course they have. And if they love the movie - great! But as you get older and have more experiences with which to compare and contrast with other experiences, it's likely that your viewpoint will shift. You may still love the movie. On the other hand, you may see it for the gimmick it is. But in any event, your call...
redoor430 This was like watching a teenager play on a playstation,for one and a half hours
denis888 Oh dear, and where should I even start on commenting on this one? What can I day? THere are no sane words to describe this awful, horrid, shameful pile of steaming feces. There is such a thing as a negative suffix -less in English. So, this Timur Bekmanbetov's piece of garbage deserves to collect all the possible adjectives - brainless, thoughtless, mindless, shameless, faceless, headless, soulless, everything-less. Seriously, all you have is a first-person sick dizzy shooter, absolutely Horrible performance of all actors, mindless brutality, idiotic dialogues, horrid script (technically, a total lack thereof), tepid dug of a moral and a shockingly poor effort to be on the level with the Western standards. My word of warn - never ever watch this bizarre, fetid pile of dubious junk. In a word - Worst. In two - Rating - Zero, of all points. In several - never even think to try and waste time watching it.
