Review of Stag

Stag (1997)
2/10
A Horrible Let-down
8 November 1998
This film was recommended to me by a friend, and I must say that I was surprised to find that I disagreed so vehemently with his opinion - he thought it was brilliant, I thought it was awful. The basic premise of the film (a group of guys accidently kill a stripper and her escort at a stag party, and then must make a decision on how to deal with the situation) was a promising one. However, it was sorely let down in its realisation. The acting was pretty terrible (especially by Kevin Dillon), the storyline dragged, and the same few ideas on how to shirk the blame for the crime were repeated over and over again. Every now and then someone else says "Hey, why don't we blame it all on the surviving stripper?", followed by someone else saying "Why don't we kill her too?" all the way through the film. And then the resolution, when it finally comes, is disappointingly unimaginative and messy. Don't bother with this one.
