The Way We Choose

Very poor acting

I came across this film today on HBO, and what stood out was the ghastly acting by the cast, especially the girl in the car. The actress (Danielle Brett) is terrible in her expressions and the emotions displayed are so unconvincing. The dialogs between the driver and the girl are ridiculous and lame. The scene when they stop at the police station, and try to explain the situation is infuriating. The cop was trying hard to act unhelpful.

The car chase scenes were fine, but the hammy acting actually irritates the viewer. The kind that puts one in a bad mood.
