bad politics, weak movie making
27 September 2009
the trailer for this movie looked pretty interesting, but the actual movie -- as so often happens -- was not nearly as good as "promised". the non-US setting was actually a plus for me, as so many movies are already based in the US. i know this movie had a small budget, but it looks like it was shot in one alley and one bar, in TJ. robert rodriguez this guy is not.

the anti-US politics of course polluted whatever artistic pretensions the director might have had; art+politics == propaganda.

the lead actor looked medicated. the love story was boring and forced. billed as sci-fi this was more like soap-fi. the special effects were pathetic; i've seen better work done on an amiga computer. all in all a waste of time -- mine, and the people who made this snoozer.
