Paydirt

This is a dreadful piece of schlock, and you should skip it. The fact that they could dub a voice in for Kilmer does not justify subjecting him to material this badly inspired, poorly written, or abysmally directed. The story is stupid. The characters are caricatures of bad cliches, and the voice they dubbed in for Kilmer is dreadful.

I stayed with it out of respect for Kilmer, but this movie is hideous, and it should never be aired again. If you can see it for free, skip it. If someone offers to pay you to sit through it, know that no amount of cash is worth the damage it will do to your psyche to be subjected to filmmaking this hideous. They should use forced watching of this movie as punishment for shoplifting.

It was good to see my hero Val Kilmer up and acting again, even if this project should be buried in the desert, so I gave it three stars. Dreadful.

It is at least that bad, and I'm probably being generous.

The plot is transparent. The acting is horrendous. The antihero squad members are named The Brit, The Brawn, The Brain, The Babe, and The Badass. The surprise twist at the end was so clever that you probably didn't figure it out until about four minutes into the movie. I paid $6 to watch this thing, and I feel completely ripped off.

What a mess. Riddled with plot issues, long dragged out scenes, ridiculous and unnecessary dialogue, and a cheesy unorganized story that a 5th-grader would write. Cinematography was the only decent part, and the score not bad for a B-grade film. The director failed at directing his cast, that even the seasoned B-actors seemed like it was their first acting gig. I'm a fan of Luke Goss, and this was his worst film. Val Kilmer seemed drunk and bored throughout. I struggled to stay awake. Huge pass.

First off, I want to say, "Sorry, Mr. Kilmer". You've played some very memorable roles, of which I have fond memories.

That said, my main beef with this Ocean's 11 knockoff is not that they didn't introduce and develop the characters; they did that, minimally. It's that they did not ever seem to utilize the strengths of each role that they built up in the beginning. Not sure if the writers ran out of steam, or if the producers said, "Meh, 90 minutes is enough", but there wasn't enough time for a plot.

Poor script, poor acting and a rambling plot (or lack of) leave this a very disappointing show. Not worth the effort.
