Review Time: this film is poor
Warning: there is
animal cruelty and sexual assault
Fundamental elements: there are voice-over elements, background, music cultural elements,
mental imagery, quick moving effects, slow-motion effects, no subtitles when
another language is being used, time jumps place and jumps.
Movement; it
ambles along at no particular speed, I was consistently looking at how much
time I had left to watch of this project and it is only roughly 92 minutes long
Storyline/Back stories: the storyline is solid and the back stories come to the viewers via
the following; voice-over from a main character/performer setting the
background down to all of these back stories, consistent mental imagery as it
relates to Daniel/Van Damme, in the dialogue exchanges, but on reflection this
project does leave things on a question-mark; what happened to this community
and everyone in it after these two characters/performers have left? Now just to
give you a heads up there is a ending scene alongside the closing credits.
Action sequences/Artistic visions: there are weapons being used, combat, chasing and Baseball. Moving on
to the artistic visions; there is rapping with beatboxing, this band playing
with and without a singer and here is something for you to look out for; there
is this old-fashioned Punch and Judy puppet stand but in this case they are
telling the story of Little Red Riding Hood; this is excellent highly creative
and highly imaginative.
Character developments/Performances: the character developments are on both counts reliable; has in you
can/viewers can identify what/who these characters are and what positions they
hold in the film/landscape of things easily. Daniel/Van Damme clearly has
P.T.S.D [Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder] and speaks via a small version
[handheld version] of a Liberator type of machine [a quick description of this
machine in the film; he types what he wants to say into this machine and it
says it for him.]
Performances;
they feel like they are doing a job, don't get me wrong there is
chemistry/friction, yes depending where you are; is depending what you get and
what with Van Damme having to use other means to communicate in one way or
another the connections between these characters/cast are there to be seen,
felt and experience.
This film receives: 2/10, after everything is said and done I am just going to stick with
this mark.
