Quotes:
Evan: Mr. Collins makes the rules, and he's saying sixty-forty. You can pay us the extra ten percent later.
Bill Rander: There's no profit in it, Evan.
Evan: You wanna whine to Mr. Collins? Go ahead, call him. I'm just picking up the cash.
Bill Rander: But this is ridiculous!
Evan: Look, get real, Bill. We have other lots. They all unload more cars than you do. You could disappear tomorrow and Mr. Collins wouldn't notice. You want the cars or not?
Bill Rander: Collins isn't the only guy with cars, you know.
Evan: Bill, don't ever think about going behind his back.

a failure of a movie, 4 July 2008

Author: giant_marmoset from Canada

The movie puts far too heavy emphasis on the weak dialogue. Simply put, the people in this movie talk like books, and it really shows. The roles of the actors are unanimously archetypal and lack any and all depth. Probably the weakest thing in the film is Ashley Jones's acting, which is clearly not at the level necessary for a dialogue heavy film-- her portrayal of a teacher is completely unconvincing.

The plot was not altogether terrible but poor directing simply made this movie an assembly line of clichés (the plot could have been salvaged with strong acting, good script, and a greater focus on either horror, or relevant pressing issues. Not to mention the plot is neither plausible nor remotely menacing. The cinematography is amateurish and the script was overwritten and juvenile.

The part of the film that almost makes it comedic, is the score. At scarcely rare moments when i found myself actually feeling sorry for Jeremy Rander's character, a much too over the top song would start playing. This made the movie an almost unintentional satire and hilarious to make fun of.

One thing they did right in the film was the pacing; the thanklessly weak plot managed to progress smoothly.

Watch only if u get some kind of enjoyment in bad films.
