I love this movie so much

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

I knew I was in trouble when I rented this movie. I asked the clerk when it was due back and he said, "Never mind, you keep it!" Wow! I rented it off of the 2 for $1.00 rack and I had a one half off coupon. Net cost to me was only 25 cents and I still feel I was ripped off. After struggling through the movie (I admit, *I cheated and did a lot of fast forwards), I knew, I just knew, that the lead actor and the producer would be one in the same.....Am I psychic or what?? It really threw me as to how Eli and his wife were this dude's parents...I mean, he spoke with some unidentifiable accent and Eli was just a "down home, good ole boy". I kept waiting to hear he was adopted or raised by wolves, but no explanation was given. The guy who played Eli (Alex Zonn) was the only talent in the film. The writer and director were the same person. The lead actor was the producer. The editing was chaotic. It looked like an artsy-craftsy high school project. Final project grade: D-

Honestly I wonder how a film like this gets made. I cannot imagine that at a casting call with any number of actors (besides one) that this guy was the BEST? While it was being shot could they not tell? It might have been a passable film with another lead. It's hard to tell though because I could not get past the incredibly uninspired deadpan tough-guy thing that the Lead was trying to pull off. It was almost painful to watch. As a matter of fact the film was so bad that I made this account for the sole purpose of warning others not to waste the time/bandwidth/rental required to see this movie. I've read reviews here at IMDb for a while but have never been so moved as to actually NEED to comment.

I give them credit for trying. It's a really bad movie though. It try's too hard. There are moments of talent showing through in the cinematography but other than that, forget it. I feel really bad for any of the actors who might actually have talent who appeared in this movie, because it doesn't show here. AND, what the hell is up with the lead actors voice? He must be reading all his lines phonetically, which would actually show some talent, but it is just a horrible performance. Did he intend to sound this way? Did he make an effort to sound this way all through the movie? The most interesting thing about this movie, is trying to figure out what the hell this guy is doing with his voice and if he can actually speak English.

Not completely awful till the end. The "fractured" narrative was kind of trying but could work with better action and a more robust plot. The way it is presented it triples the movie length by replaying almost each scene 3 or more times. Each time a scene is replayed it is longer with more dialog. Slowly filling in the gaps and making the movie make more sense. The plot had some serious holes and failed to explain things that kept nagging at me. But what pulled this movie from a 4 to a 2 is the lower than B movie quality action scenes. I have seen better shootouts in porn movies. The one at the end left me speechless. Why would you do it like that???
