A Negociadora

This movie really is awful. The script is completely disjointed and flows like hardened concrete as it cuts from here to there to over there. Don't even attempt to watch this movie as you will undoubtedly regret it.

It's a trap, the trailer. Another trap is the poster. Would argue that it was a waste of money, but it is obvious that there was no budget at all for this film. Such a shame that this (purpose) of a movie would waste stars like Robert Kneeper or Gary Dourdan. Several plot gaps Lots of contradictions. Terrible storytelling jumbled chapters that wouldn't stick together with glue. Fatal errors. Lack of character and thoughtfulness never surfaced in the protagonist. There were many issues. To have the necessary justifications for writing this review and, maybe, sparing your souls from having to see this punishment, I had to make the ultimate sacrifice and watch the entire film.

Always check the rating on IMDb before you watch a film. When I decided to watch this film, I forgot to check out the rating. As some people said the trailer and poster are traps, I totally agree with them. Yes, the poster really looks good and also the trailer. But the film is not. It looks like amateur and low budget. The fighting scenes are not that good as I thought it would be. Some dialogues and acting are a bit weird. And as I've said in above, the trailer is much better than the actual film. That being said, I like how it ends. It's kind of good.

So, to conclude this review, if they could do better than this, this film might turn out to be just fine.

The Moderator is a crummy film from start to finish. The only good part is in the first few minutes where the main characters shows compassion for her cat. After that the movies just is about ugly people doing ugly things to each other. Maybe some of the actors might look nice in still photos or something like that, but in this film they all are just ugly.

The script is nonsense. The plot is barley coherent, and that is being generous. The filiming is on the level of a midle school film project. Costumes are stupid.

Violence agaist women abounds, and the film is suppose to being about confronting that, but instead it glorifies it.

Repeated rape scenes are just disgusting.

I would give it zero stars, but that is not an option. WORTHLESS MOVIE.

Okay, Let's start with the poster. I think that's probably the only good thing about this movie. So, props to the graphic designer though the poster is more like a watchbait. It literally has nothing to do with the content of the film or what you'd expect from it. She's holding two guns with thousands of bullets surrounding her yet she never used a single gun in the entire movie. Oh, and I don't think I remember a single shot being fired in general. So, yeah! I feel tricked by the poster.

Now let's talk about the stroy plot. I think it was written by a 5-year-old. It's cluncky and predictable. Not to mention the endless errors that can't even be fixed by CGI. 7 minutes in it says Miami, FL while it's clearly Rabat, Morocco. I mean they didn't even bother to shoot the first chase scene somewhere where Hassan Tower (the most famous landmark in Rabat) can't be seen.

Next, we head to Morocco where the lead character is trying to avenge the death of her two friends. The cops couldn't be more rediculous. They seem to have graduated from Insp. Jacques Clouseau's academy.

The conversations between the characters can't be more confusing. Two moroccan cops converse in English, next minute the question a Moroccan boy in Arabic. Why? Just why on earth would you do that? You either make an entire movie in English so everyone can undersand it, or keep the original language when it should be. That's why Inglorious Basterds is one of my all time favorite. Tarantino respected every language used in the movie.

My only hope was that it could be saved by Prison Break's Robert Knepper, but he didn't really seem really interested in acting in this film. I think he just got paid to be himself. On a second that, I'm glad he was equally bad. He probably had to lower his standards otherwise the final result would be unbalanced.

Final thoughts: I was hoping that this would deal with the real event that took place in Morocco and deal with terrorists in a Liam Nesson Kind of way, but the movie went into another direction that has nothing to do with terrorism.

I highly don't recommed watching this.
