Unchained

Do yourself a favor and do not waste your time watching this movie. Worst acting you will see, even the CGI is as bad as bad can be.

My first thought was "more exploitation"? I was pleasantly surprised! The cinematography was good. Music was good. The acting was a bit stilted in places.

I loved the opening scene with her walking in slow-mo., music spot on and build up of her frustration of finding no work.

My favorite part was the fighting. It was literally like a video game sequence.

I'm a big fan of Taya/Franky. I wish she had a fight scene.

Then I understood, budget? Must have been pretty low not to take advantage of that.

People all over complain about Eric Roberts. He's still good! Get over it. I liked the way he delivered his performance.

I'm not sure the two previous reviewers had actually watched this movie right to the end. I have. It's true that the scene near the start where Mulroney and friend are discussing a night out is tedious and Catalano's acting awful , but things look up from there. I like the musical score. I want to hear more from its composer Alexander Kotziamanis. And when you consider how low a budget this movie had, you will have to admit that Raphaello, who directed and filmed it, did good.

The whole thing was a pain to watch. I jumped my way to end, and even that wasn't fast enough.

The movie is great for what it is. But you already know its not a big budget studio flick. However, it is several steps above "indie" as it's well shot with great sound and delivers on its premise of chicks kicking butt. Unchained is Grungy Midnight Cinema. Girls brawling. The lead actress, Mair shines and capably carries the movie. I looked up the cast to see what else she was in. While doing so, I noticed WWE star Taya Valkre was also in Unchained which may be a boon for some of you viewers, note I'm not an avid WWE viewer. I also saw Tim Chizmar produced this, I've actually seen other stuff by him, he's done a lot, so if you're a fan then you'll dig this too. Anyway I see that Mair also has a bunch of credits (mostly indie looking) so she's actually a seasoned actor and that explains why she has the chops to carry this flick. Anyway, if you want a really cool big budget blockbusting superhero flick, this ain't it, but if you wanna see chicks kicking butt and getting revenge then have a look.
