The action scenes in "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" are simply outstanding. Breen has clearly improved his skills in this area since his last film, and the result is breathtaking. The fights are intense and thrilling, with special effects that are both realistic and awe-inspiring.
But what really sets this movie apart is the character development of Cade. Breen has done an amazing job of creating a complex and multidimensional protagonist who audiences can't help but root for. In contrast to his earlier movies, where the main characters were often one-dimensional and hard to connect with, Cade is a fully fleshed-out character with a rich backstory and relatable struggles.
Overall, "Cade: The Tortured Crossing" is a must-see for fans of Neil Breen and anyone who enjoys thought-provoking action movies. Breen's latest film is a tour de force of storytelling, action, and character development that will leave audiences wanting more.
This movie has terrible script, it seems like written by a 5 years old. Or worse. It's flat, it has bad dialogues full of repetition and single sentences. 0/10 No flow, no cinsistency, no nothing.
Acting - his acting has not improved since his 2nd movie, wooden and stiff as always. 0/10 Some of the other actors are bad too, few have potential but they ruin that potential in participating in such production.
SGI - he again performed worse than before. He uses much more cgi than before but it's as bad as it can be. 5th grader could do much better work than this. 0/10
So, yet again he is the allpowerful and almighty being that saves everything and everyone. Someone should just drink their medication instead i guess.
I am usually all down for bs bizzare joke fan movies, as long as they fully know they make joke movie not serious stuff. Here we have nothing of that sort.
Yet another movie i dont recommend , and a director that should either hire a writer, or just stop alltogether. Movie is unwatchable. The worst one out yet.
P. S all these 8-10 ratings we see around are so fake boosting the movie too much. This movie should be above "The Room" which is like a masterpiece in comparison.
Neil Breen makes many decisions in this film that, if they were part of a more complete and coherent vision, would be bold and truly represent ambitious B-movie filmmaking.
Aesthetically: The entire movie is shot in green screen, over stock photos. Establishing shots are also stock footage. This is really exciting to me; it represents a really interesting way to do a film on a budget and nobody else would dare to do a film that way.
Narratively: The first 20 minutes of this movie has a lot going on, and it honestly made me wonder if Breen had learned from his previous films. He's certainly learned a few editing tricks. But as the film continues, it's clear that Breen still hasn't figured out how to write a plot with a beginning, middle, and end; scenes happen in seemingly random order and repeat information.
And as usual for Breen, characters speak vaguely without specific details or characterization. This is especially frustrating because it feels like this film, of all his post-Fateful Findings films, really has a clear and interesting premise.
Ultimately I came out of this film really wanting to see Breen direct another writer's work, or another writer direct a Breen screenplay. Both the central narrative idea and the directorial style have interesting things to say, but they both need some external contribution to really make them click.
It's all around an awful movie, but it's also highly entertaining. I went to an actual theater showing of it, and I treasure the experience of cracking up and groaning to this movie with at least 100 other bad movie lovers. The dialog is stilted, the acting is stiff, the shots always linger too long, the script repeats itself so many times, and there's at least 7 fake-out endings that will have you begging and then cheering when the film finally does end. It broke my brain, but in a fun way. A very high laughs-per-minute rate as far as bad movies go. Watch it with a big crowd of fellow cult movie fanatics.
This movie has everything. Giant chairs, 3 second looped fighting clips, dialogue, and even acting. What more could you want?
I can't imagine how long Neil spent doing location scouting on shutterstock, but it was certainly worth the time. The scenery is amazing. I've never seen JPEGs seem so alive!
The script is so complex. I didn't have any idea what was going on, but that's just because I'm a moron compared to the Breenius that wrote it.
