Deadly Closure

One star is very generous for this train wreck. If only I could have accessed the -10 that it deserved. It began with an ill conceived idea, Directed by a new comer to films, acted by seemingly first day acting students, and probably shot on an IPhone (no wait... I seen some very good stuff shot on IPhones). Wow - thank god for fast forward as thats how I watched most of this inane juvenile attempt in a genre that is very forgiving in most categories.

Characters - DOA, vacant and devoid of personality, intellect, charm, and in most cases and believability.

Plot - What Plot??? An idea for a story is not a plot.

Dialogue - On the nose, pathetic, devoid of subtext or any sincerity.

Production - Watch a student film... they are at least trying.

Save your time - watch a local ad by a Mom & Pop outfit,- the pain will be quick.

Yowso that was bad. You know what I mean ya'll. It was boring and stupid.

There are movies where you find yourself trying to preserve your dignity or sanity by fast forwarding to escape the absurd plot, bad acting or ridiculous dialogue and then there are movies that are so so bad that skipping every ten minutes and then checking the storyline for a minute on the prayerful hope it was just a mistake and it's better than you thought. Well, it took less than five minutes into the movie to begin skipping and there was no relief.

The story is about some well-endowed female model type military intelligence officer who happens to be in Kuwait in the 90s and suddenly does a double pistol Western shoot out with a bunch of well armed bad people one of whom survives and decides to come after her many years later when she's a civilian photographer in Florida. Stupid improbable storyline really shallow acting from actors with mostly little/no experience except a few TV series/movies. A lot of limited dialogue with read the teleprompter pauses where you wait for the next edited canned response. Cheap production with a really badly fabricated Arab hut with abandoned car in front - very stereotyped. Cheap echoing audio with production budget not allowing for subtitles.

First off, I usually don't like low budget movies, but I was intrigued by the cover art. The first 15 minutes or so (not to give anything away) has to do with Janis' tour of duty in the army. I was actually ready to stop the movie because of the low budget scenery, but the acting really held me. From there we move to Florida in the present day where Janis is now a professional photographer, and we are introduced to her brother, who, though still in prison, is trying to kill her (well, scare her for now). I really wish I could get in to her relationship with Carol, but there are so many plot twists and turns that no matter what I say, I'll give something away. All I can say is: SEE THIS MOVIE!!! You will not believe how this ends, or how they got there! Definitely a MUST SEE!!!

I am stuck in Kuwait and was running out of movies to watch on Netflix. I would have been better served watching the sand shift. The only thing entertaining about this train-wreck was that the video, acting, and plot are so bad, it gets comical, at times.

The trailer seemed promising and the cover of the movie seemed as though it would be low-budget, perhaps, but not necessarily terrible. But, right from the start, it is terrible and never gets better. I would recommend watching cheese mold before watching this movie.

Well, I guess I should be thankful, at least I am I am 1 hour and 40-some minutes closer to being back home, so that is something.
