Dark Water

I was at the same cast and crew screening and had a totally different experience. I know a few of the people involved. The film was not perfect but it had excellent acting, the cinematography was fantastic and the music was great. The film had a look and sound that put it up there with the budget pictures. I had a little trouble understanding some of the surreal images but they were very cool. Basically, I was into the story from start to finish. It is a good film and I wish those guys all the luck. I'm told that they will be making more films in the future. All the more power to them.

I pretty much agree with the above

I think the storyline had so much potential that was not used by the director. And on obviously low budget film obviously didnt help the director here.

Given a hollywood budget, this film could have been made into a box office winner.

As it stands......i`d say, if theres something better on....go watch that instead.

I saw this film (?) on pay TV a while back, it had an interesting premise (serial killer offing child molestors - are they vigilantes or murderers?) but that was it. I think Alan Smithee could've directed something better than this. Very bad direction, if any, wooden high-school play acting, fight sequences where the punches don't even connect but still make contact noises, the worse was putting the executive producer in a supporting role, we know how she got her job, maybe they should've hired real actors, I see the director is an actor, let's hope he stays with the acting cause directing sure isn't his calling... plus how do you take any psychological thriller seriously when the chief of police has lines like "we have a serial, and I am not talking Captain Crunch" puh-leeez!

I had the pleasure, yes, pleasure, of seeing this movie recently - the underlying story line itself is an intriguing subject - vigilante justice and just how far would one go to avenge others? I was most interested in seeing just how this would be handled and in which direction the writers would take us. Overall it wasn't a horrible film, certainly not quite as bad as the critics seemed to think. At times it seemed that the witty remarks came from too much concentrated effort rather than from spontaneity, the lines sometimes contrived and the dream sequence was extremely bizarre.

The circular route in the beginning didn't really serve much purpose for setting the story other than to let us know that David was a disturbed individual.

There was a bit of a lag in the middle of the movie but overall it was worth seeing. The twist at the end was a good touch though not a complete surprise, I think audiences now expect to see such twists.

The acting in some parts seemed too well rehearsed, the cameos however, were quite spontaneous in their feel.

This movie had a lot of potential, too bad it was not captured and portrayed to it's full extent.
