***possible spoilers herein***
Okay folks, here's the real skinny on this movie...if you want the truth about this film, or what is really a waste of celluloid, pay closest attention to the negative reviews here and write off anything positive since the positives are probably written by people who have some interest in this film or want to steal money and time from you sneakily through the Internet, or who want to kind of make this a joke...because it really is...
It's very clearly a low budget film and I suspect most of the budget went to Tom Sizemore, and have to ask, what the hell was a talented guy like Sizemore doing in this piece of garbage of a film.
He has started to do lesser flicks, though he is A-list in ability and pure chops, so I suspect he either owed somebody something or was friends or somehow got conned into this, since his paycheck is probably as substantial for much lesser TV bit parts.
In a nutshell, I found this movie unwatchable.
The story sounded unoriginal but I had some free time alone on a Saturday night and so I watched this for maybe a half hour and now feel I should write the directors and so on and ask that they give me this half hour of my life back.
The girl playing Christie or however they spell it was the only real bright spot in this turd and the only real one who seemed with some talent and ability to appear believable for me. "Alex," was half believable and played the lead with this chip on his shoulder and the thing came off as horribly amateurish and boring.
The script was totally predictable. You could tell during the "competition" that the "crowd" consisted of about ten people who they consistently came back to in shots to show the clamoring "crowd," and really, it's not that difficult to find extras who will work for free just to do this.
The snowboarding was played with creatively to make it look like a live motion photoshop edit...and I found the half hour I spent/wasted watching this to be more boring than using the bathroom, clipping my fingernails or sweeping out the garage.
I cannot believe I actually did this.
I cannot believe I actually sat and watched this and some of the acting was pretty horrid, which makes it unbelievable, the story is rather maudlin with even parts that are supposed to be more light-hearted, cold and lifeless instead and the only redeeming qualities I even found were the pretty blond who played this Christie character, and then I was enthused to look up the large breasted brunette from the hot tub scene later on Google, because I like women...but I found little to laud in this time I spent watching.
Believe the negative and careful of the positive because you either have stuff that is written by people who worked on this and want to puff it up, or you have guys who think Wrestling is all real and not a show and the best entertainment available to mankind, i.e. not the sharpest tools in the shed, but tools nonetheless...
