Featured review
Why did Lou Diamond Phillips agree to a cameo in this film? Why did Katrina Law? As for Frank Grillo, I always wanted him to succeed, but he just agrees to play in any movie you ask him to.
This is the second disappointing werewolf movie today. The moon is not with me. But it isn't that the film is bad, it's that it's simply pointless. The premise is that one random night, a blood moon turned one billion people into werewolves, all over the globe. Nice idea, huh? Only this is just the info dump at the beginning. Fast forward to a normal USA preparing for another night of terror: guns, fences, electric countermeasures that depend on the general power grid to work, big cars and branded cool clothes. Then we spend the entirety of the film with two groups of people: the mandatory woman who can't make any rational decision with a kid next to them, and the mandatory tough man who must make his way to said kid, presumably for more stupid decisions. And that's it. There are no large scale scenes, there is no discussion about the ethical and moral complexities of shooting people that are afflicted by something or waking up to see you murdered people in wolf form, just pointless running around, chased by people dressed in wolves.
The werewolves are funny, there is no real action to talk about, a lot of overacting and heavy breathing, inconsistent behavior and a bunch of subplots that make no sense and don't improve the story one bit. Despite decades of conditioning, my brain still rages at the fact that writing a good script only involves a mind, some time and a word processor. If it's not good, you can rewrite it at almost zero cost. How the hell do such bad scripts even make it on the screen remains a mystery to me. Who pays for them? Werewolf actors should unionize!
And the cast is just underutilized: Phillips is fun, Law is cute and Grillo is tough. So they make the first be overly serious, the second run around with a gun and Frank be a gas bag who always says something that ends up not being true. And when it was his time to shine, oh, that atrocious scene with the beheading...
Bottom line: a complete waste of time. The effects are bad, the story starts nowhere and ends nowhere, the actors are misused. Yuck!
