Corrado

Not bad in the sense it was technically well done and the actors were doing their jobs..

I may be shallow but the nurse really ruined this.. she looked like a science experiment. She may have been a good actress but with a face frozen with Botox and lips that looked like they were about to burst from filler you would never be able to tell..

She was a doll. She could not show a single emotion in a frozen face..

For most of the movie her face was so shiny that it gave her an alien look.. I suspect she had had a chemical peel and was trying to hide the red.

Not a great movie. Not a horrible one either.. but not good enough to distract you from the plastic woman in nearly every scene..

I am a person who are oriented on movies, not soap operas or trash TV series and as well cheap action flicks from drive in cinemas. Actually I would offend the Art of Grindhouse, but I did not mean that kind of Movies, cheap and stupid ones.

I love gangster movies, and as a big fan of everything in that segment, I was very pleased when I saw that cast on this how would I call it, cinematic shame, have few of the actors from Sopranos, as well is Tom Sizemore and Tony Curran.

But, what ends with, is only few sequences I watched, either laughing or crying of such an amateurish and bad garbage work here.

I did not have stomach nor conscious to watch it more than few minutes, it is that bad.

The acting from pro actors are terrible, and you end with asking yourself how it is possible that they act so bad.

All of them.

What is the point here? To make trash movie? Or?

There are so many flaws I believe, but I watched it only few minutes, fast forwarding it in general (it was so unwatchable), so I believe there are many but did not catch them all.

The moment I stop watching it and pushing FF button was on the scene when famous Vito from Sopranos enter the table in coffee shop (the very start of the movie).

So if you want, watch it, and you will have your jaw wide open of such bad scene impression.

I did watched such a bad movies few times in my life, but I really did not expect some of the pros would act is such a garbage like this one. Still, don't want to offend some audience here who likes that kind of movies, we are all mostly subjective, but as a lover of quality cinema, I think those one will agree with me. Hell, I am not on that non stop shooting and nothing but no words, big muscles and destroy all around me fan, like Universal Soldier.

Maybe some will find this one great. I don't know.

Julia plays the damsel, a private nurse sent in third shift to care for an aging Godfather. Julia is in the room when a hit man Carrado kills the Godfather. He decided to show her mercy and let her live. But that's short-lived as now the hotheaded Godson Paolo and his head henchman Tommaso believes she set the Godfather up and are going to execute her, so now she is in distress. The Hit-man with the heart of gold sweeps in to rescue the Damsel in Distress. Paolo now in charge dispatches his legion of Goons to hunt down and kill the duo. Three things I liked; the cast was dragged up from Celebrity Rehab (sober house) and Sopranos of course. This meant these guys weren't slumming they were lucky to get the gig. There was a lot of add-libbing, at one point Tom Sizemore asks Frank Stallone if he has any coke because there has to be something better than Whiskey just to drink. I don't know if this was a scripted line or not, but Sizemore MEANT IT! There was a Tarratinoesque scene where the Goons are cackling and giggling as they pin a victim to a garbage can. The Hessian hit man over dramatically tries to play too cool silent killer. However his threats can't be heard over the cracking and teasing of the Neanderthal thugs. THE REASON I only watched 30minutes is because the heroine was atrocious. She's had so much cosmetic Surgery her face is transforming into the cat woman face. All that cosmetic surgery and not one cent spent on her breasts unless she had them reduced. I didn't want to see her naked, and what's the use in watching these movies, if you don't want to see the Damsel in distress, naked?

In the Sopranos, Christopher had a dream of writing and producing movies. Of course, it was laughable that he'd ever be able to do it. As I watched this execrable piece of excrement, that kept coming to mind. I wish IMDb had ratings in the negative numbers range so I don't even have to give it a "1". i suppose the lighting was OK. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING else was horrendous. I only made it about twenty minutes in before I started throwing up in the back of my mouth, and had to end the torture. The acting from everyone was terrible, especially Tom Sizemore and the woman who played the nurse. As for her, you'd think they could have at least found an attractive woman without the duck lips and greasy hair! Johnny Messner, poor actor that he is, made me laugh every time he uttered a line from the amateurish script. The sound throughout was abysmal; gunshots sounded as if you were hearing them come from the bottom of a well. In conclusion, this is definitely a movie worth missing. The average TV movie from the 1970's is far better. I just can't believe they sunk $1.1 million into it!! Maybe Frank Stallone's salary was the main expense.

As I've said before, I can't give films like this just one star, mainly because the film is competently lit and you can hear the dialogue. A lot of indie films don't meet these criteria. Oh, yeah...and it has a story of sorts, with a beginning, middle and end.

Unfortunately, that's about all it has. I like Johnny Messner and he certainly outshines everyone else in the cast, but that's not saying much. Sizemore and everyone else just sort of slides along, either chewing scenery or phoning in their performances.

But I have to single out Candace Elaine, who it seems is an in-law of the director, as being the winner of "The Godfather III Award for Incompetency in Acting by a Relative of the Director and/or Producer." She is absolutely terrible in every single scene. It's beyond my ability to describe how bad she is and how she destroys every scene with any potential. My first guess was that this was her first acting job, but that turns out to be wrong. My second guess was that she was sleeping with the producer, but I won't explore that avenue. My third guess was actually correct (see above). As an added (admittedly sexist) observation, her face is shiny and her hair looks terrible throughout the movie as well. At least she hit her marks.

This film isn't worth your time, unless you are a huge Messner fan.

By the way, I'm getting really POed about this website trying to tell me that I spell "dialogue" incorrectly. One of the editors/moderators should consult a dictionary. "Dialog" may be an alternate spelling, but "dialogue" is preferred in both British and American English.
