Assalto Relâmpago

This movie is not worth the time it takes to rent it, let alone buy it. There are some big names (Malcolm McDowell and Anne Archer, and Faye Dunaway) that you would think make this a worthwhile flick, despite their minor roles. It isn't, and I suspect those 3 would prefer to forget their involvement.

On to the movie itself. I rented this because of Amanda Brooks. She has plenty of face time, but even she could not turn it around. Brooks was adequate for the role, but the rest of the team (minus those above) were laughable. In about half the scenes I was not able to tell if the actors were trying to appear amateurish in order to get laughs, or if it was just the level of acting. Finally I had to conclude it was not for laughs.

The 2 stars are both for Amanda Brooks.

Save your money and time- stay away.

Not sure what this movie wanted to be, serious drama or some sort of off beat black comedy, but either way it did succeed.

After 10 minutes in to the film it became clear that the standard of acting was going to be bad, and the script itself to boot.

Amanda Brooks the principal actor although young, was awful, over acting, and shouting her lines.

One of these films, that you need to feel that nothing really matters.

Those who made it probably didn't care either?

Whatever the target audience for this film was, it probably fell between all stools, therefore achieving nothing in the end.
