Given the packaging I expected something like Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio. But not only does it not make that grade it doesn't even have such aspirations. The only true and believable words from the script, spoken by Mel Gibson: "This is a bad B-movie.
There's something very off about Mel Gibson in this role. His acting seems adequate but he's just not believable. The awful writing sure doesn't help.
The sequence of events that take place in the build-up do not quite add up. Then the twists and turns, which are indeed surprising, succeed only in making you sick to your stomach. I am a fan of pushing the envelope but this is an aberration. It just doesn't add up.
