Review Time: this project is mixed
Fundamental elements: there are
voice-over elements, cultural elements, background music, yes and no to
subtitles being used when another language is being used, slow-motion effects,
time jumps and place jumps.
Storyline: I am uncertain about this it
took me some time to settle down [but I got the rough idea,] for the middle
section, the final section this film loses the plot. Because besides the
telephone call [which we don't hear or see much of it] this project doesn't do
any of the leg work or the background work, it's like this title spends too
long in the middle section and suddenly realizes "we are running out of
time to fit in the final section"
Comedy level/Action sequences: it ranges
from mature to adult/dark such as these two examples a game of Russian roulette
and a joke about not getting the transport. Moving on to the action sequences
there are weapons being used and a safe cracking sequence; this is good.
Character developments/Performances: generally speaking for most of the time the character developments
and the performances are good, minus one character/performer [which has a small
part in this project in short he gets shot pretty soon after he enters this
title, so that is the end of that] and in fairness and balance I think I'm
going to have to say that the characters/performers do their job when this
project loses the plot.
This film receives: 5/10, I don't know
what to say here other than maybe this; this mark is a fair reflection of this
project, but to try and leave things on a high if you are a fan of Cage or
Woods or both take a look at this title I just wouldn't expect too much when
you head into the final section [this will make better sense when you get to
this point,] I wouldn't mind seeing Cage and Woods working together again on a
better project sometime down the line. On a quick side note Jerry Lewis and
Ethan Suplee are in this project as well, individually they have a limited
amount of involvement in this film, but these are two points for you to look
out for nonetheless.
