The Vanquisher

Whew, OK, where to begin. This film is a hot mess from start to finish. I'm a huge indie film buff and I can overlook a lot. I don't need studio quality special fx, I don't certainly don't need a star studded cast, but this is ridiculous. The writing is so far off, so out of bounds that I have to think the producer's are being blackmailed by this writer/director. It's one thing to hamper your cast with a bad script but its entirely unforgivable to back that up with horrific direction. Dominika Juillet is certainly fun to look at and her performance might be the best of the bunch but that simply isn't saying a lot. Ben Seton couldn't carry a film if you taught him how to operate a forklift. This story reminds me of something an at risk teen struggling with addiction would conjure up. I love to support indie work, but this is just a slap in the face to all indie filmmakers out there. I simply cannot recommend this film regardless of your favorite genre. Dominika is perhaps the only redeeming quality of this film and that might be pushing it a bit. The bare minimum I'll give an indie that made it out of post is a 2. Since 1.5 is not an option, I'll round up. Don't watch this film, you'll hate yourself in the morning.

This film is not even good enough for a 'B' movie. The Producer/Director is the biggest jerk and has no clue. This film will never get any distribution, so don't wait for it. I'm surprised if this guy does anything at all in the future.
