Ten (2013)
Awful
This is without shadow of a doubt the worst rubbish I have watched in years. It is very badly acted by people who sound like they are out of the local amateur dramatics club. The acting is stiff, forced and totally unbelievable. The cinematography and staging is worse. Given that Camp Bastion and Helmand Province in general is a dust-laden desert environment and one of the toughest locations on the planet, all the cast are immaculately turned out and spotlessly clean. All the gear and sets appear to be dust free, and the vehicles have just come out of the car wash. The whole thing is just laughable. I'm very glad I did not pay to go and see this because it would have been a waste of money.
The Pinkertons: Kansas City (2014)
Oh Dear............
The Pinkerton Detective Agency is a body that is often mentioned in films about the old West and there are quite a lot of films that feature individual agents. However, there is very little around that deals in any depth with the history of the organisation and its operation in its early days. I really hoped that this series was going to be the exception, and was going to be in the class of Hatfields & McCoys. I was sadly disappointed. I have seldom seen anything so wooden, with that constant dreadful background music so beloved of the makers of fourth rate garbage, made on a minimal budget with actors that nobody except Canadians have ever heard of. What a pity. The subject matter has loads of potential and this effort does it no justice at all. Apparently it was made in Canada because it was too expensive to make it in the USA. With better actors, a better script and a commitment to making something like the Hatfields & McCoys the Americans would have been falling over themselves to make it.
