In the Market (2009)
2/10
WERE THEY ACTORS OR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS?
8 January 2022
I'm italian so I watched the movie hoping for some fresh air but I was disappointed right from the start. The acting is the worst I ever see and neither me and my friends who made some amateur movies in the past were so bad. The only one actor who made a good job is the butcher. The three guys reminded me of my days back to first year of school when I was 6 and the teacher tried to teach us to read for the first time.

The story itself is not that bad but I don't understand why they pretended to be in USA (American car plates, 911 dialed on the phone) while everything in the movie let everybody know that we're in Italy beside the obviously fake "meat market" sign. Apart for the two main cars we see in the movie, every other cars have italian plates, road signs are in italian end even the signs in the market are all in italian. The director should've fixed this before completing the movie. I know it's a low budget but since he managed to make some good visual effects with the butchers scenes, he could be good even in removing some writings from the film.

In the end, I can only give it 2 stars only because the butcher part is quiet good compared to the whole movie.
