What starts out as a promising film quickly turns into a winding nightmare of a motion picture. The main character Marty (Lochlyn Munro) is a failed playwright who is the main star in all of his productions. I couldn't have said it better than one of the characters in the movie; "It sucked!". Marty meets up with Detective Jack Potter (Leslie Neilson) and from there it goes downhill. It starts off slow, little or no comedy, and then the only "comedy" it does show happens to be a crazy woman, whom, in her rant, speaks of Elvis and Bigfoot and George Washington being a convicted felon (?). All in all, skip this movie. If you're a Leslie Neilson fan, its disappointing. Heck, if you're even a MOVIE fan, this is disappointing.

This movie, quite frankly, sucked. It was choppy, cut out several parts of the book and at least a character or two. For instance, what took two years in the book, took more like a minute in the movie, and several locations were cut out, as well as half the story line. All in all, the movie seemed to jump around, and if you hadn't read the book, you still would have been disappointed, coming out of the theater with questions, instead of an enjoyable movie experience. I recommend seeing this at Chunkies, so you can ignore the bad plot, and focus on some delicious potato skins (an action which I had today!).

On the other hand...

The movie has its amazing action parts in it. The graphics are incredible, and the characters, although dry, are kind of layered, and expressive. I can't complain about the acting either.

The book is a must read, for any fan of LOTR or HP. It's sad to see that such an amazing book is chopped up on the screen...

This movie was actually not that bad. It has its pros and cons. The movie had great camera people, which included a great plot, and amazing acting. All of that made up for the "cheesy" film, and language Sailors would jump to imitate. If you choose to see this movie, be prepared for literally close to a hundred F bombs, and close to 10 very bloody headshots. In fact, just be prepared for buckets of blood throughout the film.

It also may help to bring a notebook, to avoid from losing the plot. The movie jumps constantly from each side, and includes random frames of murder, which have voices to remotely explain whats going on. The characters often show up later, so remember the faces.
