Haphazard

A fun Guy Ritchie- esque film with unexpected moments of hilarity, impressive fight choreography and out of this world characters.

Cool movie, nice acting, p*ssed myself laughing from the humour. Its always a pleasure to see real stunts, not fake cgi. Loved the Street Fighter and retro references. Also loved seeing Ron Smoorenburg in a funny character role. Its a fun easy watching movie.

Ok, I'm seventeen minutes into this film and I can't believe the 10/10 ratings. The sound quality is brutal, as if I'm listening while wearing earmuffs. The acting is mediocre at best, especially the silly Russian accents. This is supposed to be an action film yet the action sequences I've seen so far leave a lot to be desired. I'll see where this goes but so far I'm not hopeful.

Haphazard is a film that's hard to categorize, and great fun because of it. The plot is straight forward enough and easy to follow, as different people all fight to get the same object (No spoilers). What makes it stand out from other micro budget action flicks is the quality of some of the action sequences and the moments of absurd humour. It is definitely not a film that takes itself too seriously. It runs quickly at a fast paced 90 minutes, and should keep you entertained right up until the end.

Shallow acting, obviously choreographed fights (I know fights are choreographed in movies, but these were ridiculous), poor dialogue, mediocre plot (but incongruous). This movie could have easily been made better with the same budget. The best thing was the music soundtrack, but the overall sound (editing, mixing, engineering) was of poor quality with some dialogue lost in ambient noise. Sorry to see that Selina Lo needed to do this movie for whatever reason. It certainly did not advance her career; not something to use as a job reference.

There is plenty of action, but it seems forced and at times quite foolish. If you find this movie funny then you have not watched a truly funny movie. Same goes for the action. I cannot understand how anyone who has watched many movies can give this movie anything above a 5 out of 10 rating. I have seen worse films, but this is not one that I would consider giving a second watching.
