    Worst Movie Ever!

    I am a Maltese Man. I have seen this movie.This cast is very boring, These artists haven't Filmed another movie ever. They are all so boring. The story is not great, it is very bad. When the House explodes the explosion is not real. A low budget Movie. 1/10. the worst movie ever. Its Distrubter is Kateri Entertainment and they filmed one film only too. What a disastrous movie "Angli the movie". and this film is only sold in Malta and in Maltese Teathers only. If you try to find it USA you can't also because Malta is a very small country.This film has no Special Features, Scene selections, Subtitles, The making of "Angli the movie" This film has nothing. This is the Worst film in the world.

    Thanks for reading the comment, Aaron Borg.

    Disastrous.

    Extremely cheap and laughable. This 'movie' was probably done at one go and the film makers did not even take the time to review what they had done. Or they didn't care less. Practically everything about this movie sucked big time, excuse me for the language. During and after the movie I felt angry and amused at the same time. So, let us mention some of the horrible disasters in the movie. Acting. Purely, 100% laughing stock. Where's emotion? Do you calmly state that your sister has been shot while she is dieing right in front of you? After the person in question died, we see the husband a tad sad in a couple of the following scenes. He puts some flowers on her grave in a neutral mood and basically forgets the whole deal. Wow. The blonde girl - not the one that betrays them - (I don't know the names) was easily among the most horrible actors I have ever seen. She looked like she was constantly reading from a book. Enough on acting. Filming. The first shot was filmed from a helicopter. The camera was bobbing up and down. I thought "hmm, maybe that's on purpose?" Then it also moved in other scenes so I confirmed my suspicions. And colour. The colour was very unsaturated. It was similar to news filming, haha. There were also a couple of points were the saturation or some colour scale changed suddenly. The camera angles were totally uninspired and oftentimes awkward. There were a couple of shots which I actually liked but otherwise, forget about it. Audio. As others mentioned there are too many dropouts. The audio is also not synchronized in not only one, but marvelously MANY scenes. I was plain disgusted by this. A cheap budget has nothing to do with these mistakes. Its plain carelessness. The music also lacked something most of the time. 'Effects'. Haha. Just plain funny. The scanner would have looked infinitely better without a cheap effect like it had. The explosions were stupid. 256 color and out of perspective, not to mention size. OK I'll give them the fact that they did not have such a good budget after all. But in that case don't try to make a movie at all, or do not use such crap effects in the first place. The big "Angli" splash at the beginning was terrible. Slowmo was also overused and/or used unaesthetically. Plot. Someone said he liked the plot. In general, the plot was too simple and undeveloped. I cannot say it was crap, since I've seen Hollywood movies with crappier story lines, but there were some hilarious parts too. The part where the main actors were attacked from a freighter was just stupid. The car could have done one of two extremely simple things: 1) sped by and left the freighter behind. 2) braked immediately with the result that the freighter kept moving forward and lost them after a quick turn of the car. Also, a fact that Maltese people should have noticed, the chase started in the bypass and ended miles away. No suspense of disbelief at all. Two other things. One, the fact that they got out of the overturned car and didn't even look around for their assailants, who also vanished from the scene without checking whether they were dead as they hoped. Two, the car overturned in broad daylight. The towing truck came in the night. Blame it on Maltese inefficiency, though I've heard that those towing agencies are actually pretty quick. The producers could have done much better with whatever small budget they had. A three-month school project would have been shorter but better. This should have been called Angli: Disaster Movie.

    About the fact that someone gave this movie a 10, I can't imagine who would have done so. As you might have understood had you read my review, budgets wouldn't have made bad actors start acting good. Nor would it have synchronized the audio. 12 Angry Men of 1954 is an amazing movie shot mostly in one room. The budget for Angli could have made a movie just as good. The same goes for The Conversation. Excellent production, har de har har!

    This film is Embarrassing

    This is the cheesiest film of all time. I regret having even given it a chance. I want those two hours or so of my life back. It embarrasses me. They don't have any idea how to make a good film. They thought that to make a good film it is all about spending lots of money to make it and being all technologically up to date and not going cheap. There is no point in making this film, what a waste of time, my toilet is deeper than this. I mean even the sheer lack of imagination and bad taste. And the Maltese don't speak English with that stupid accent, they only do so when they want to impress foreigners. John Montanaro is an old friend of mine and I always thought he had a wonderful sense of humour, i was always impressed by how clever his jokes were and how he always managed to keep a straight face when saying them, so i am sure inside while playing his role in this farce he is cracking up but would do anything to have his moment of fame, he is such a narcissist. The Maltese are so obsessed with living it up, living it flash and classy, even if they boast their religious faith. The Maltese hamalli, low life capitalists that they are, rich Arabs from The South of Europe and the North of Africa with a mentality trying to live the American dream. They would take a shot of an elegant car(I recognized it from when the Queen was here on that commonwealth occasion) with the use of a crane and maybe they would do it quite well but for no apparent reason whatsoever. A sheer lack of ideas all the way through. This film just gets worse and worse till i did not even know what I was looking at anymore. And how sad to use Fort St Elmo again after it was used for 'Midnight Express', what was he thinking? That it would make his film somewhat good? And enough of these Van Damme type movies for crying out loud, there never was a good one anyway. I could make/direct a better film with my eyes closed.

    Probably the funniest film I've ever seen

    OK so it's funny, really funny. but the problem is it's supposed to be an action driven crime thriller! Bad narrative has been played out by possibly, the worst possible group of actors, apart from poor Mike Moller of course, who's name in the film funnily enough happens to be Mike Moller. The special effects make those in 1980 look futuristic, I mean it was a low budget production, but surely from all the advertising in the film they could have scraped enough money together to buy a mid range mac and some half decent special effects program for it, not the 486 using corel draw that it appears to use. I'd also like to point out that i get a better quality picture from my JVC camcorder when i use decent lighting, than they managed with their 'professional equipment'.

    A vegetable could have directed this film better.

    This is really a pathetic attempt at film making. I wasn't even going to post about it but seeing that some people gave it high marks I just had to warn the rest.

    I'm not going to comment about the production quality because it was a low budget film, however, not having a decent budget is no excuse for having a bad narrative, bad direction, an awful story and an even worse script.

    It's a totally amateur production with no sense of film making or story telling. Scenes jump from one to the next with no flow what so ever, a vegetable could have directed this better.

    For those that gave it high marks, please, I know you're proud of a film that was done in Malta but by being proud of this film, and praising it, you are doing a disservice to your country.
