User Reviews

crap

this film isn't even worth the time or enormous effort in watching, just by watching the trailer you will understand the reasoning to which i am giving this film a one out of ten. And believably enough that it is enough to bore you to tears to the point where you would rather die than continue to watch the next thirty seconds of highlights, the acting is worse than mediocre and is as if the people were told the lines and mechanically told to re site them, i can not act to save my life however i could of done a better job myself and stopped people from wanting to commit suicide, not very entertaining at all with the people speaking as if pretending it was real, no story line, unrealistic fight scenes with bad prosthetic blood. incredibly bad use of Geordie language which is embarrassing to the Geordie accent. this review is just from clips and the trailer to which i saw no reason to torture myself any longer and put myself through the whole film. quite frankly it is the biggest flop of a film i could have ever imagined and such a shame considering the cause the money is going to .
