this was made with scab labor

Not only is this film completely unwatchable and morally depraved...it WAS made with scab labor. The workers on the production went on strike for fair wages and benefits like the actors and production people were getting. It was refused to them and they were locked out. Everyday the union actors drove past the former crew and new crew members were transported in blacked out vans. I believe the quality suffered quite dramatically. They shot the majority of the rest of the shoot in one location inside guarded gates. This film is very badly made and I think it is a fair review to look at what happened during the making of it.

A previous reviewer made false claims of what happened I believe to mislead people... I don't think it is a coincidence that he shares the same name as an actor in the film.
