Thanks for the memories!
Memorable, crazy movie
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
I am very tolerant of bad movies - particularly when I'm home sick, watching them for free on Hulu - but this thing is so irredeemably awful, I stopped watching halfway through. Val Kilmer, Armand Assante, and Eric Roberts do their best (although their performances are all oddly mannered in this film), but the material is just not act-able. The rest of the cast is sub-par at best, and they are all constantly either over-acting like mad or staring numbly into the distance. But the absolute worst performance is that of the actress playing Jesse. Wow. Do yourself a huge favor, and don't watch this thing, even for free. Your time is more valuable than this dreck.
Let's keep this short and sweet. This movie is a total disaster. The plot makes no sense at all. The acting is dreadful. The writing is appalling. The music is absurd. The production must have been disastrous, as the movie is only 90 minutes long yet there are an enormous amount of padded super-slow-motion scenes. One scene was over FIVE MINUTES LONG, of nothing but actors gurning in slow motion while some pompous over-bearing music droned on. The ending is ridiculous. All in all, a total fail of a movie. I would have rather watched adverts for 90 minutes. The people involved in making this should never be allowed to make another movie again.
Another clanger from Val Kilmer. I watch many movies and this was one of the most disjointed I've seen for a long time. Kilmer plays some kind of nut-case, but it's never really clear what he wants (even the maddest of people could be more lucid), Armand Assante mumbled his way through the movie so even if he had something interesting to say, you couldn't understand it and the scenes in the steam room were muddled and not at all suspenseful. Kilmer stared bleakly, twitched and fidgeted to show how mad he was, but it came across as just a parody. It was such a mess that at the end of the movie you couldn't figure out who was the real psycho and who was the victim. At what little climax there was, you were left feeling let down and unmoved. Definitely not worth watching unless you are desperate.
A guy goes into a newspaper to report he has 6 people he locked away in a steam room which will get above 130degrees an kill them. Its some weird type of experiment cooked-up. The newspaper instead of being interested in the story of the 6-people himself slides it off to his old detective buddy. From their Armnade Assante and Erick Roberts go back in fourth. Poorly written yes, there's no witty dialog the characters are pretty carbon-copy. There's a little "SAW" feeling to it. But then again "CRIMINAL MINDS" already did this with a group of "CHEER-LEADERS". You feel this has been done before, and it has been done before but not as a feature movie, a TV show. In the end I liked it.
