Angli: The Movie

I am a Maltese Man. I have seen this movie.This cast is very boring, These artists haven't Filmed another movie ever. They are all so boring. The story is not great, it is very bad. When the House explodes the explosion is not real. A low budget Movie. 1/10. the worst movie ever. Its Distrubter is Kateri Entertainment and they filmed one film only too. What a disastrous movie "Angli the movie". and this film is only sold in Malta and in Maltese Teathers only. If you try to find it USA you can't also because Malta is a very small country.This film has no Special Features, Scene selections, Subtitles, The making of "Angli the movie" This film has nothing. This is the Worst film in the world.

Thanks for reading the comment, Aaron Borg.

Completely hopeless. All the way down to the acting. And the Jackie Chan wannabe didn't impress anyone either.

The film's plot was overly exaggerated. It opens with a man who tragically lost his daughter in an operation. Yet the man doesn't swear once. Not very realistic, especially given Malta's standards. And the girl being hung from a 20 storey building is as calm as ever...just hanging there seemingly enjoying the view.

The music of the film was horrendous. Composing music is somewhat an honour these days... yet in this "serious" film you have the name "DJ TOBY" splashed across screen. So much for keeping a straight face. THe whole "gritty" cop action film ends up having a disastrous soundtrack which seems to sound like a cacophony of washing machines working in harmonious disorder.

And don't get me started on the ending - I mean really, the weaponry a police investigator can operate is amazing... he actually knows how to use a rocket launcher. Simply scintillating.

Same goes for the date scene, which somehow zooms out through the other guy's TV. I mean COME ON. There's a limit to how much gibberish we can take.

To Sigcomm: I see you find Angli enthralling.. and you seem to ponder how much better Maltese films will get with bigger budgets.. well let me tell you.. they won't improve.

Angli was seriously hopeless not because it had a low budget, but because the director didn't work around the budget not to mention that the script itself was badly written and bluntly exaggerated.

Considering the money shortage they had to work with and that I've seen big budgeted movies which weren't better than this one I decided to give it a five.

There where though some serious goofs that with some minor attention could have been avoided, let's take the first scene for instance. Not even the Incredible Hulk could have had the strength to keep suspended a ten year old girl sitting on a chair just by holding a thin rope she was tied to with only one hand and at the same time chat calmly with one of the Angli. Moutain climbers should hire his services I think. Another blemish, when there was the closeup shot of the rope in question, this (the rope) wasn't straight showing it was being stretched.

Another thing which really annoyed me in this movie was the huge amount of adverts it contained, at times it was more like seeing a two hour shopping-ad rather than a movie.

I will not comment on special effects as these cost money to do which the producers hadn't much. I still hope to see more local productions like this one though cause "practice makes perfect" as the English say. Only by experimenting more will Maltese cinematography improve.

This is really a pathetic attempt at film making. I wasn't even going to post about it but seeing that some people gave it high marks I just had to warn the rest.

I'm not going to comment about the production quality because it was a low budget film, however, not having a decent budget is no excuse for having a bad narrative, bad direction, an awful story and an even worse script.

It's a totally amateur production with no sense of film making or story telling. Scenes jump from one to the next with no flow what so ever, a vegetable could have directed this better.

For those that gave it high marks, please, I know you're proud of a film that was done in Malta but by being proud of this film, and praising it, you are doing a disservice to your country.

This must definitely rate as the worst movie I have ever seen. The reason I'm saying this is that the producers didn't get anything right - the colours severely lacked saturation and the contrast was high (also some explosions were in 256 colour, looking as fake as it gets), the acting was awful (the actors lacked passion "sparawli l'ohti!/they shot my sister!" as if nothing happened), the sound was horrible (at several points the sound is not even synchronised with the video, and it has split second sound losses every now and then), the story was broken and the adverts were in-your-face and all over the place.

This movie is supposed to be a thriller, but really it ends up becoming a comedy because it is so awful. It is just a pitiful excuse for some revenue coming from people eagerly awaiting Malta's debut movie.
