I mean sure, the film LOOKS great, a polished production helped along by the keen eye of cinematographer Jack Yan Chen...but in actuality; it's lipstick on a pig.
It just goes to show you that money CAN buy a nice "looking" film. Stanton was even able to pull Canadian A-list ACTRA talent, and I use that term VERY facetiously. (Cool. You got Jennifer Dale--Ari Lantos' mom. Awesome.)
At the end of the day, we all know that REAL talent is in the storytelling. If it ain't on the page, revise, edit, revise, edit and revise again. And although I'm sure he's satiated his itch to "make a movie", Corey Stanton is a long way away from being a competent storyteller.
But the real question for Dr. Stanton is this: What do you do after processing my unadulterated opinions of your debut feature film? A) Take it in stride, make another movie and forge ahead, or B) Go back to making real money in medicine?
