Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
WalterSoprano This film has some interesting aspects but they aren't good enough to outshine anything in this hunk of garbage. I couldn't stand some of the acting with how inconsistent and off key it was, for example Gisele Fraga which played Ana really annoyed me because she constantly contradicted everything she did or said. To elaborate further on that I will say how Ana always made an idiot out of her self by constantly saying I don't care when she very clearly and obviously did care. Plus unless Ana had a major case of bi polar disorder Gisele and the writers screwed up there, she would be hardcore arguing with jack when out of no where she brings up how she is pregnant and now they're both happy and loving each other which clearly doesn't make sense.Another inconsistent character is the main killer aka jacks bastard son, all throughout the film he's talking about how jack will burn in hell and he will show no mercy and so forth when in the end after killing all those women and even the unborn children in the bellies he let Ana and her kid live. So overall the inconsistency makes this film really stupid and badly made.The films highlights were not as common as they should have been but even if the highlights appeared more frequently it still wouldn't have been nearly enough to make up for all the ridiculous inconsistency. If you enjoyed it good for you but for me I just hate it for plenty of reasons I've already listed, if you haven't seen this movie and you're reading this review do yourself a favor and skip this one and go watch seven. Seven has a somewhat similar story with a much better story, consistency, acting, and climax (among the most memorable in my opinion). That's the end of my review thanks for reading.
djmidnite1 This low budget, straight to DVD flick, actually, surprised. It seemed well written and it displayed an original plot line with interesting twists and climax. The cast acted all characters well, as it should have. There were some well respected actors, and it showed all of the experience that they have. Ray Liotta, the lead, doesn't portray a character as dynamic as Henry Hill, but has a firm grasp on realness, and does a wonderful job as his character develops throughout the film. Slater, who plays a rude FBI agent, also does a good job in a supporting role although his character isn't well-liked. The movie brings up interesting spins on cultural and domestic issues, as well as having a good thrill towards the end. I would like to congratulate the writer for telling a full, realistic story that comes off very genuine. Good job to all! It could have went to theaters...
davidjskeen Without a doubt this is the worst movie I have ever seen, amateur acting from all parties involved, directing and production are terrible. Do yourself a favor take a nap and leave this where it should be placed, in the garbage. How this EVER got a release is beyond me a child could have done a better job. The actors must have cringed whilst watching themselves in there roles and yes it really is that bad. I may only be filling in the lines now but the old terrible horror tales from growing up are more enjoyable. One thing that does bring a smile to your face is Ray Liotta saying he is going to take a jog, really he should wear a panty girdle his paunch is that pronounced. Watch anything but this!
holysimon This is the kind of low budget movie offering a mix of seasoned actors, who do a great job with the material and their screen time, and not so seasoned ones who fill in the blanks.Liotta is top notch and Slater is his usual enjoyable self.Michael Rodrick has got game and Sarah Ann Schultz creates a very hot detective.With a handful of surprising twists and few glaring errors, it managed to tell a really interesting story by avoiding the usual pitfalls of guns and sexploitation.This had the look and feeling of those B-movies of the eighties where you could sit in front of the picture and be just captivated by the storytelling and the performance of thespians who don't need big bucks for them to show they can act.A good effort.As for the whiners? Well, 2 species have sprung on IMDb in the last few years: those who like nothing and those who hate everything.As for the rest: you'll probably enjoy the surprises as well as I did.
