The Serpent

When I read the info on this movie it sounded very interesting. I like movies with a strong female lead who can kick butt and was looking forward to watching it. But nothing could have prepared me for this mess! Honestly, I only kept watching to find out what the big mystery was! The poor lead had two expressions: her eyes got bigger and her lips pursed when she was shocked or upset. That was it! I thought it could have been so much better with a better script, director and lead actress. When I learned that the writer and director was Gia I saw what went wrong. The editing was also poor, but there is only so much a person can do with such a bad movie.

What a complete waste of 20 minutes watching in order to make up my mind if I should continue wasting additional time watching this hideous thing. This trash is so bad...it's even worse than you can imagine.

So many breaks in storyline and plot, badly written, badly edited. Many instances where you ask yourself "how did we get here?". The actors try and make it work; but, this is probably the worst movie I've seen all year, and I watch a lot of movies! Really not worth your time and poor Gia has lost even more weight since her modelling days and looks almost skeletal, so even less reason to watch. I don't think I've ever rated a film lower.

What on earth have I just watched!!

The background music is constant and annoying - as well as being inappropriate for whatever happens to be on screen.

The continuity is all over the place - I don't think anyone thought about joining the pieces of this film together - and the editing is constant cut scenes - sometimes with characters moving to completely different positions from shot to shot.

The story is just ridiculous - as is the script/dialogue.

Then we come to the 'acting'. Oh my word - it is AWFUL. Wooden doesn't come close to describing how bad it is. The main character hardly changes expression - maybe it's because of the plastic surgery - and it seems as though her 'dialogue' had been dubbed in post-production

The stunts/action is just as stupid as the rest of the film.

This is one you REALLY shouldn't waste your time or money on.

I'm very easy to please with movies. Give me a woman who can fight and kill and a storyline that you can semi-follow and I'm happy. This movie had the first part with Gia Skova Lucinda as a tough as nails heroine. The storyline was really difficult to follow and extremely scattered. Lucinda is running from the law, then she is the law, a special ops chick, then she's suddenly in jail, and a minute later protecting a little girl who vanishes suddenly (other characters vanish too) and then she's tracking down a mad bomber. Just pick one of those elements and there's a storyline somewhere. This movie just had the same actors doing a bunch of unrelated stuff that was kind of coherent. I saw it for free and cooked while it played. So, nothing was lost. It's a shame. I'm so easy to please. One of my favorite movies was Elektra! I liked Uwe Boll's Bloodrayne movies! Even I'm saying this was bad.
