Review of The Package

The Package (I) (2012)
1/10
Avoid this, please. Wish I did.

Warning: Spoilers
Living without regrets has always been my way. Such a free and progressive life philosophy. Until this movie.

My friends in this group ("Jrock") decided to get together and watch this movie, and I boldly said that I would correct the oversight of there being no proper reviews for it... for once in my life, I feel an oppressive regret that I can only hope is healed by time.

First, let me apologize for spoiling it a bit. You are going to watch something else anyways (I hope) so please don't hate me, but a summary does not do the movie justice.

It stars "Stone Cold" and "Smoking Man (from X-Files)". Okay, so the latter is just a cameo near the end, but he does some good acting. It was a thrill to see him for the few minutes he was in it.

As for everyone and everything else, I was in disbelief the whole time. It wasn't funny, cheesy, or a parody of Ronin. It was just... sub-par. I mean, I don't know what they did wrong so that I can offer constructive criticism, it is like if they just couldn't do anything right, or put a movie together as a coherent whole.

I am sorry that I watched this, because it makes me doubt the validity of a "capitalist economy". Really, didn't somebody read the script and say "these people need good lines. We can't let just anybody write this stuff anymore. This is the era of dialogue that people can invest in".

Okay, if I describe it in parts, you may want to see it. Don't. It is less than the sum of its parts by far. Watch... anything else. Please.

Sorry, I'm so sorry, I wish I could save the world from this experience. Or at least fix the movie for you.

Sorry.
