The Chemist

Starts of poorly..shakey camera poor dialogue. But it gets better story not to bad ...try and get past poor start

Don't even know where to start, really bad cinematography and terrible editing, some of the worst editing I have ever scene, some scenes and continuity do not make sense at all. If you think you saw the worst acting ever, just wait till you watch Stephanie Gerard!! I have seen lots of bad movies and bad acting but Truly this girl is the worst actress I have ever seen in my life, hands down. The rock music was so irritating! I have no idea who is giving Art Camacho money to make movies, this director is beyond awful really really bad, just look at his past work, the awfulness speaks all for itself. Best part of this movie was: Patrick Kilpatrick and Steven Dell and Nina Bergman too bad they weren't in this movie that much, but the director rather focused on Olivier Gruner who has no personality or charisma whatsoever and Stephanie Gerard, who takes bad acting to a whole other level, truly horrid. I saw this movie won some awards but then I did some research on the AOF, and found out the owner and Art Camacho Are close friends, and it is the same festival that gave Art an award for another awful movie called confession of a pit fighter, but that movie is not as bad as this one, not even close. so no wonder why they got these awards! Which this movie as bad as it is does not deserve any!

But I don't blame any of the actors. The producer and director should have thrown this out once they read the script.so that pretty much tells me of their skill in making this a movie. I've seen worse movies but I don't remember what they were, this would certainly rank with the ultimate bottom. No sense in wasting anymore of my time with this review.

I honestly try to find the good in smaller budget action flicks like this, but this movie was SO BAD it was truly unwatchable.

I agree with whoever commented above; the worst thing about the movie was the abysmally poor acting- especially the terrible performances by "actors" Steven Dell (Blaine) and Stephanie Gerard. I don't know if they are relatives of the producer or how in the world they convinced anyone to allow them to be on screen, much less paid to act? I mean the acting is so bad I could smell the stink through the screen.

Dell seemed to just rely on flexing muscles and continuously looked lost and confused the entire time he was on screen. He was so ridiculous that it was distracting; while Nina Bergman (Trinidad) was over eager and theatrical- and almost as silly to watch. No reasonable effort was put into making a coherent story line or good camera work. And even less effort was put into bringing the characters to life. It seemed more like a group of adults playing an awkward game of dress up and make believe. These people should not be making movies they clearly have zero background in acting, nor any talent as actors.

Action sequences were unrealistic, over-acted, dark and even hard to see (I mean physically see lol. Poor camera work) Plot "twists" were predictable and boring. This performance is the type where you feel insulted as an audience that people are trying to pass this off as a movie just to make a buck off you.

I agree with the post above- no idea who is giving art Camacho money to make movies but pouring it into a lackluster script like this and into ridiculous actors like these is really wasteful. How wonderful if instead that money Was just given towards the arts for kids in underprivileged areas, or really to any cause other than this train wreck of a movie.

Assassin Ronus Steele (Oliver Gruner) - aka The Chemist - uses poison to terminate his targets. He refuses to terminate a very pretty Gabriela (Stephanie Gerard) who he has fallen for. What to do? What to do? Ronus is ordered to take on Blaine (Stephen Dell) a young assassin who needs to lose his loose-canon ways.

This movie became better when Ronus meets Gabriela as the photography and dialogues made more sense then, and we had opportunity to understand what was going on. Prior to that meeting we got a jumble of flashbacks, confusing choreography, a jumpy camera and dialogues we couldn't make out. The beginning of this movie was a mess to put it bluntly and we had no idea what was going on with these numerous flashbacks, who the hero was (we didn't know about Oliver Gruner), and many darkened scenes that assumed we knew what this was all about. We had no clue.

We were waiting for Ronus' rules for an assassin to live by and we were not disappointed as he gave them to Blaine. I just love it when an assassin gives out these rules and we usually find out he cannot live up to them as the story continues. But not in here. Not this time. Ronus lives by these rules and doesn't violate them.

Blaine picks up Trinidad (Nina Bergman) who is most enamored with Blaine being an assassin and even goes on missions with him. What's not to like? (Yeah, she's a keeper)

There is pretty good action choreography later on, and there is a twist I am sure most of us saw coming. We were afraid of this twist and were hoping we were wrong. But we were not wrong. (Bummer)

I was not familiar with Oliver Gruner and I am sure we will see him in other Action-Hero type movies as he did a great job. (5/10)
