Review Time: this film is poor
Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background music, cultural elements,
mental imagery, no subtitles when another language is being used, but an
interpreter element of a tattoo which was in a different language, time jumps and place jumps.
Movement:
because I will be bringing this up again shortly all I will say here is this;
it is like watching paint drying.
Storyline/Back stories: now in theory this is one of those storylines that should have been
something safe and reliable, but somehow this project takes this storyline and
completely makes a mess of it, be it the movement, the storyline or the back
stories elements [which I will discuss momentarily,] but as a whole the
storyline is garbage.
The back
stories come to the viewers via the following; mental imagery, a letter or
dialogue exchanges and yes they even screwed up on a back story as the leader
of this bike gang [Diablo,] this beginning sequence to the film is 99.9%
connected to him, he seems to know a lot about this location and its community
[not just because he is pulling this job,] another member of his gang has this
dialogue exchange with our lead character/performer about him to confirm all of
this roughly and in one way or another Diablo makes references to things.
But here's
the problem none of this is confirmed 100% by Diablo/Sawa in a monologue or a
dialogue exchange of in-depth substance with our lead character/performer
Sheriff Jim Dillon/Pearce so it just feels really lazy and unfulfilling.
Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat and chasing. Moving on to the
artistic visions; this project has some good scenes be it; by night looking at
the moon or by day with the animals and other things.
Character developments/Performances: I don't know what to say about these two components, individually or
together once again in theory these character developments should have been
likewise something safe and reliable, but in some cases they are cheap and
tacky character developments/performances or yes something safe and reliable
with their character developments/performances and yes the same can be said for
the chemistry/friction as well so all I can say about the chemistry/friction it
is just depending on which characters/performers you have on screen at that
time if it comes over or off as cheap and tacky or something solid at best.
Bloopers: there is
this Deputy on his mobile talking and because another character cuts the
connection to the power grid to this location and other devices this Deputy is
texting somebody in fact you have this criminal in the back of his car just
saying look out and here is me thinking any usage of a mobile device without a
hands-free set or something to this effect was against the law whilst driving
and I have just realized if his connection went down he wouldn't have been able
to send the text either.
Next we have
our lead character/performer crashing this vehicle to make a scene [I have no
idea why this is; because no one is in this scene other than him,] but it
really doesn't feel like it has come off how it was meant to, it just feels
like it was a waste of time as if "Now we have done that shall we just
carry on with what we were doing?" Not only in a film sense but in a
filmmaking sense as well as a for a moment it just feels awkward and in another
sequence it is where we have these two female characters/performers fighting
over this gun and the criminal female character in this scene seems to be
winning and then the camera shot switches to outside this church front door we
hear this gun go off and this civilian character comes out with this gun, so
what precisely went on here?
This film receives: 1/10, this film is agonizing torture so if you have the choice I
would suggest missing it, but if your partner should choose to watch this
project on a date night or something just do the right thing and watch it. In
the interest of fairness and balance if there are any fans of Guy Pearce, take
a look at this project but I really, really, really, really wouldn't expect too
much. Likewise if there are any fans of WWE Kelly Kelly is in this project or
to be more precise Barbie Blank as Amanda [it is a small role throughout this
project.]
