Another gem from Niecestro.

Background: In case you are unfamiliar with his work, Niecestro was the dim-lit star of 3 A.M., a scatter-brained thriller/comedy about a kid who is inexplicably unfaded by pants-shorting paranormal experiences and the number '3.' The star's inability to act in 3 A.M. appears to have caused a hangover-effect in following up his debut, t a c t i c a l. In both cases, Niecestro's act is as thin as rice paper. Though the story lines do nothing to help his case.

The Film: t a c t i c a l. is essentially a hackneyed-hybrid of Training Day/Bourne Identity/S.W.A.T. Through its entirety, the lack of originality of this script keeps its viewers at a standstill; the story never gaining momentum (a virtual crawl) and the scenes an atrocious rendition of past films (vitual plagiarism). The only real value this movie holds is the comedic factor of the monologues. At one point, the Kingpin (who closely resembles RP Jose Mesa), goes off on a 4 1/2 minute analogy about golf, his 9-iron, and his posse being show-offs at the club. At no point in his rambling, incoherent response was he even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Every viewer in the room is now perplexed for having listened to it. We award the writer's no points, and may God have mercy on their soul.

But please view this one, so you can see for yourself.
