Gone Dark

Like to give it a -10 but I can't so I give it a one just because it's the worst movie ever seen so this is the first time writing a review about a movie that sucked really bad, i mean the acting was bad the effects was horrible and the storyline sucked. Don't know what else to write how many times can you write worst movie ever I mean really. i Seen about 30 of the movie and I couldn't take it anymore but I did give it a chance but just didn't like the storyline the acting was just not there and the blood effect, Looks like it was done with Photoshop or something like that it was poorly done what else can I say, I'm just being honest here and just want to share My thoughts about this movie.

Wall to wall violence and sexy chicks. GONE DARK is a savvy exploitation film conjuring Stanley Kubrick, A Clockwork Orange, the early Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez days, and even seems to be somewhat of a parody or homage to the TV show 24. Reminiscent of Natural Born Killers and El Mariachi, GONE DARK is bloody, brutal, violent, edgy, and unapologetically irreverent in its pushing the limits of violence, skimpiness, and all out chaos in cinema. This is a movie!

Four super spies come to town hunting down their X-partner who they helped fake his death. When his little sister followed in his footsteps she was mislead to believe that they had killed him because they took the blame for it and she starts hunting them down. They only way for them to survive is to kill him and all the others and be the last one standing. To cover their tracks, the agency sends some ruthless hit men to wipe out everyone.

Adopting a completely new philosophy of violence in cinema GONE DARK shows what other movies would play off screen and satisfies by giving, instead of taunting, what others would just leave up to the imagination GONE DARK shows you more than you will imagine. Instead of spoon feeding an audience savvy enough from regurgitated ideas on television to know how these characters get where they are going, GONE DARK instead shows you what happens when they show up. Treating the audience as intelligent and respecting them enough to let them put the pieces together themselves. GONE DARK will not hold your hand but throw you in the deep end.

Showcasing innovative cinematography and visionary sound design with an earth shattering sound track this movie is following no paths but blazing new trails and rattling every cage along the way. An absolutely amazing ensemble cast giving ferocious and fearless performances. We are sure to see some of them rise to the top of the game. Groundbreaking on every level GONE DARK is not to be missed. Sex drugs violence and rock n roll. GONE DARK is what Hollywood is missing.

I have to be honest - the premise and the storyline actually sounded interesting and I was intrigued by the glitzy trash-whores that adorn the poster and DVD art. But the filmmaking and execution of the script is the absolute worst I have ever seen in my entire life, and I am not exaggerating. Its so laughably bad and ill-conceived that it completely takes you out of the story and makes the movie completely unwatchable. The acting is 100% atrocious, if you can even call it acting. The cinematography is massively student filmy and distracting to the story. It's obvious that the director went to film school and tried to force his own "Auteur BS" into the horribly stylized aesthetics. The cinematography is choppy, badly lit, horribly bright and too dark at times, and completely unbearable. The colors are all washed out and make the images painful to watch. I just wanted to turn the movie off. It looks like it was filmed on VHS and then they tried to fix it in post-production just leaving grainy, noisy, pixelated junk behind. The sound quality is even worse if that's even possible.

The entire execution of this movie on an artistic (and believe me, I cringe using the word "artistic" in this review) and technical level is mind-blowingly amateur: everything from the choppy mis-matched edits, distorted sound effects, inaudible dialogue (that was obviously captured with some cheap Camcorder microphone and then boosted in post production), laughably poor performances and direction, and campy student film special effects.

The director, Pascal Cooper, obviously has a huge ego and you can tell that he tried hard to infuse his first feature movie with as much film-schoolish, preachy, over-the-top nonsense as he could possibly cram into this 78 minutes of horribleness. I really hope this man has no future in directing or any part in the film making process, and from what I can tell he is absolutely not a director or a filmmaker in any way. He may have a bright future in porn though, but even porns these days have better acting, writing, and production value than this "movie".

Everything from Uwe Boll (who was once called worst filmmaker of the world) is pure Academy Award Gold against this utter crap... There are not enough hard drugs on the world to make one so high, that watching this would be an enjoyable experience! I really cannot understand how the makers got any kind of financing for filming this, because I cannot imagine that anyone with a clear mind would backup this crap. Because people need to be warned and I don't want to waste any more time on this, I just copy the upper part again....

I found this gem on a horror channel but quickly realised it truly shouldn't be. Undoubtedly an action film but truth be told it's barely even that.

Broken up into segments telling a story from multiple characters perspectives this amateurishly made indie film is bad on every level.

Somehow they even roped Bill Oberst Jr into the film, though his role couldn't be much smaller.

Looks terrible, sounds awful and with a storyline that ultimately is a mess this film has no redeeming features and is a 90 minute abortion of decent cinema.

The Good:

It ended

The Bad:

Gun shots look laughable

Awful fight scenes

Ridiculous soundtrack

Poorly made

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Pascal Cooper has no place in the movie industry
