Review Time: this film is poor

Warning: there is flash photography or to cover my back something to this effect in this project.

Fundamental elements: there are numbers and words on screen, voice over elements, background music, cultural elements, quick moving effects, mental imagery, slow-motion effects, yes and no to subtitles being used when another language is being used, time jumps and place jumps.

Movement: I strongly really didn't like how this film moves at any stage, I found it relentlessly boring to the point where my brain and interest in this project just switched off

Storyline/Back stories: now this is one of those storylines that in a different project is something safe and reliable and yes more often than not you can get a good film out of it, so in this case I wouldn't say the storyline is the problem as you will see or at this relatively early-stage of this review already you may have been getting that feeling anyway.

The back stories come to us by the following; voice-over, images, monolog introducing other characters/performers including profile, news report via TV and dialogue exchanges.

Action sequences/Artistic visions: there is one occasion where these two components go hand-in-hand, it is where we are having this vehicle chasing sequence and this henchman character/performer fires his gun and we the audience can see in slow-motion effects firstly the close-up of these bullets and secondly where they land or go through; yes individually in one way or another this project has other action sequences like the combat Barber Shop sequence and so on or from an artistic perspective the scene with this black background with these red smoke effects with this tumbling towards us gun.

Character developments/Performances: because the storyline is something safe and reliable it makes these character developments something safe and reliable also, but having said that the performances are poor; yes you can see the chemistry/friction, but feeling it is a completely different matter altogether.

This film receives: 1/10, now yes there are some good elements in this project but the negative elements heavily, heavily weight out the positives elements.
