Mayhem in Confusion
slpkrg22 September 2015
Many better ways to spend your hour twenty minutes!! Movie starts with the display of bad acting and confusion so you hope it will only get better. Well,it doesn't! As the film rolls on you start to figure out who is who and why they're doing what they are doing. Plot is not clear, acting is of high school stage level. It was a fast forward-stop-watch-fast forward affair for me. When it was over running the end credits, I was wondering why even bother to release a movie in such low caliber! I gave it a 3 for helping us viewers to appreciate the value of the good movies by comparison. Keep your eyes peeled friends.

it's a western " wanna be "
I'm happy when I see the writer and director are both the same person. it usually means that not much of original vision has changed, sadly in this case the vision was blurry and dull.

the movie has a western vibe to it so I'll review it Eastwood style the good : nice level of suspense stretched out across the movie with fairly descent acting. most of the characters are well played and identifiable. the visuals and the effects are not bad but could have been better.

the bad : loss of coherence. you find yourself asking repeatedly why did he do that? what's the point of this? why don't they just...etc. this cowboy Hercules from hell and lots of other details are unexplainable.

the ugly : horrible wrapped up ending with a one liner commentary. feels like they ran out of both budget and story and the movie is only an hour and 20 mints long if they added some time to wrap it up properly may be it would have pumped up the overall experience a bit.

Painful to watch

Terrible, third rate acting all through, story goes no where. If you want to make a bad day worse watch this movie.

B Movie with credit to the actors for few "moments"
moderncarter21 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
A solid B Movie with credit to the actors for few "moments."

The main acter delivers a relatable character of depression and suicide. He has a moment where he shares with his suicide partner his reasons for doing. Spoiler alert: The Black box comes into his life and we get to experience his childhood fantasy of being an astronut and going to the moon. An invulnerable killer (Kevin S.) tracks anyone who contacts the black box and kills them because, you have to pay the price. Would be nice if there was warning. Feels like a stranger kills you if you found and picked up a $1 off the ground. So it doesn't make me think the people who use it are evil. I would have written it with a story line of the Black Box users fight each other over the box instead of the Kevin Sorbo terminator.

The Movie is worth watching as a B movie.
