Wow.. just wow. WTF!

This is a horrible film. It makes literally no f***ing sense whatsoever. Do watch! So the premise is John Cusack is at an airport and all of a sudden a signal administered through cell phones turns people all kinds of crazy and murderous. And that's where my understanding of this film ends. Initially it's pretty damn funny watching some fat guy with his pants around his ankles beat the living sh** out of some teenage girl but I doubt laughter was the emotional response expected of me. If you are at all familiar with movies or the process of making one you will have a blast watching this! It's comedy gold. Every second of the acting feels forced. Only Sam L. Jackson kind of blends in, though that's mostly to the fact that he basically just hags out. The editing is really off-putting. Really. The camera work is kind of okay but overall there doesn't appear to be any cinematography. They should have called it On The Fly. The scrip is terrifyingly stupid but then has those tiny glimpses of dedication. What happened!? There is not a single second of suspense or anything that could even scare off a toddler. The action-sequences are so incredibly boring and confusing, which is a weird emotion to feel in the first place, but it also shows such a disgusting lack of effort. If you want to see a good movie. Don't watch this! If you want to see a bad movie. I dare you!
