Review Time: I know this is a strange place to begin this
review, but this film could have been a 4 or 5 or 6 or slightly more out of 10,
but throughout this review you will see why I went for a 5 out of 10, simply
put on reflection I could justify it easier than any other number [a 4 would
have been harsh and a 6 maybe could have been done or anything more would be
leaning towards being kind.]
Fundamental elements: now straight off the bat, I don't like
being confused so when it comes to watching this project at the beginning
stages I am not too sure if the voice-over elements [from our lead
character/lead performer are built for our lead character or from our lead
performer's history] or unless it is a mixture between this character's life
and some elements of this performer's life, I just don't know, I could be wrong
and I think there are other voice-over elements from our lead character at some
point or points.
There are time
jumps and place jumps, with words and numbers on screen, there are cultural elements
[this seems a good time to just point out the cultural elements could also
include religious elements as well it just depends on the project in question,]
there are different languages being used without subtitles, the background
music is noticeable, really noticeable and there are slow-motion effects being
used, I think that is enough for the fundamental elements.
Action sequences: there are plenty of weapons being
used, combat sequences, vehicles and other elements. Generally speaking these
action sequences are well put together and for one example there is this
reversing car sequence of events which is good, don't get me wrong the other
scenes or sequences bring some value to this project as well [but let's be fair
this project is from the late 1980's and it shows on every aspect of this
project.]
Performances: they range from poor to okay or somewhere around
this word.
This film receives: 5/10, now taking everything into
consideration this film is a mixed bag.
