Whatever the opposite of "uplifting" is, that's this movie. Isn't a comedy supposed to make you laugh? This thing is completely laugh-free. Maybe the acting is good; who cares? Cinematography, ditto. Lighting, makeup, depth of characters, okay, but the last thing I go to a movie for is to get depressed. The whole legal profession is treated like blackmailing creeps, without a conscience and I know that's not true. I would hope this movie never leaves the country and leads people of other nations to think this is how our legal system works, or even that such sociopathic people succeed in this country.

There was everything right with this movie, superb locations, lighting and camera work exceptional. Excellent acting. But the story left us hanging in mid-air, waiting for a wrap-up. Actually, it feels like this was part one of a two or more part movie. You want people to remember your movie? As a writer, I feel like this is a reminder of what not to do. As a member of the audience, I feel cheated. I'm certainly not going to recommend this movie to friends and family. I suspect they would also find it a waste of time -- just a good excuse to eat a lot of popcorn or get friendly in the back row.

I've never seen such a horrible movie in all my quite-respectably-long life. There wasn't a single word of dialog worth hearing, not a single camera angle worth viewing, not a single beam of proper lighting, in this whole nightmare - not a nightmare in the usual frightening sense, but in the imprisoned-with-an-under-achieving-insurance-agent for all eternity sense. I can't say it any better than that, nor do I have any further words to add, IMDB. I've lost respect for your site because you've allowed a rating of 4+ to stand. The sole viewer who gave this piece of offal a 10 I leave to your own tormentuous and apparently completely-tasteless life. Enjoy!
