This feels like what would happen if you gave some guy you just met a camcorder and a special effects budget for an action movie. Nothing is done competently. I couldn't tell whether the opening shot (a quick zoom-out from a close-up of a can of Dr Pepper) was deliberate product placement, or whether the director had seen product placement in another film and thought that this was a legitimate film-making technique. The acting is hilariously bad, the fighting is unrealistic, and what little there is of the plot makes no sense. Fortunately it's mainly just the main character wandering around murdering random people.
Character motivation is seemingly alien to this film. Characters often behave entirely irrationally, such as when Mark Collins (the character, not the special effects supervisor of exactly the same name) murders the son of a man who has his wife hostage, and who explicitly told him he has his wife hostage to control him. There are even two scenes of the police department, featuring policemen sitting in an office praising the actions of a serial killer! Even when characters seem to have a motivation, they will forget it entirely after a couple of scenes.
Maybe the sound is okay, you say? Be prepared for a film that literally spams the sound effect from the Batman TV series (when the bat symbol flashes up before the opening credits) as a soundtrack! But for true incompetence, just wait until the end of the film, when after Mark blows up the bad guy it just suddenly ends, with a quick screen of text explaining he later handed himself into the authorities and began serving a life sentence as triumphant music blares! Remember the death of Poochie in that one Simpsons episode? Here's where they got the idea!
