Having nothing of any interest that Hollywood put out this week I thought I'd give this a try. And I'm not totally disappointed.
It's a pretty decent film, all things considered except for the ever present nauseous shaky cam that I though (hoped) went out of fashion ten years ago.
Besides the shaky cam, which gives you the distinct impression that the DP is drunk, everything about this film is technically fine. There were some obvious Adobe After Effects effects which made the film seem just a little bit cheesy but with the budget they were dealing with whattayagonnado?
My main gripe with the film is that it has a totally depressing theme with almost no redeeming characters. A group of drug enforcement cops trying to make a drug bust get set up And then all hell breaks loose.
Young men, old men, women and children turn on the cops and begin attacking them. It reminded me of what Obama tried to start here in the US.
But the acting was good and the action scenes, for the most part, were spot on.
