Finishing the Game (2007)

No Budget, Boring

[3/10 · 3 August 2008]

I had high hopes for this film (after reading some of the positive reviews). I was sadly disappointed. Most of the characters were supremely boring. There were some introductions to the main replacement Bruce Lee characters, but none of them seemed in the least bit interesting. I really, really tried to give this movie a chance, but it never really came through on any level. The action scenes were lame (I suppose they were supposed to be funny, but they weren't). The in depth character analysis just didn't work, other than to prove that this movie was shot on such a low budget. (Was it ever in theaters?) I think there was one funny scene, but I can't recall what it was (it was close to the end that's all I can remember). The one redeeming aspect was that most of the actors didn't completely blow it – they seemed somewhat better than most porn stars. (I know that's not much, but it's better than nothing).

"the story loses steam in the last half"

[4/10 · 2 February 2006]

Someone wrote: "Interesting to a point, the story loses steam in the last half and we soon lose interest in the outcome or the characters."

I hope that this is not the case because I have only seen the first half and that was fairly unbearable. Mathew does his "how to lase a guy in 10 days" thing. Al DiNero looks like a pale version of his former self (I think that's a good think because so far he is screaming less). The story seems fairly straight forward, but I am in no way interested in it at all. I thought I might be because I like football, but this does not seem to be the case. Another fumble in the big leagues.

someone please help me finish watching this move and redeem my faith in Hollywood.
