I am not joking when I give this movie 2 thumbs up. The star of the movie in my humble op ion was the actress who played Sarah. According to the movie credits her name in Ashley Morgan.I found her performance in this feature to be nothing short of Oscar worthy.. I can't wait for the sequel, I hope there is on.. Ashley was an absolute scene stealer. I found myself routing loudly for her character.I honestly found this movie very entertaining, I found it accidentally when go ogling the movie Inception.I now have seen both movies, and dollar for dollar I would rather watch Interception every time.I mean, I still don't understand the plot of that first movie, I don't know who was asleep and when,or even why the characters kept going to sleep and dreaming more and more dreams.At least, I could follow the plot in this movie. I bet dollars to donuts, Ashley Morgan goes on to become a famous actress.
... View MoreIt lists "A Clay Brothers Film" as if that will mean something. Who you may ask are the Clay Brothers? I'm not sure. One, the co director and star John Will Clay was, according to IMDb a volleyball coach in a Hannah Montana movie, a Sailor in Deja Vu and an uncredited groomsman in Elizabethtown. His brother's credits seem to be only this movie. Neither their credits not this film make me think that they'll be the next big thing anytime soon.The plot of the film has a computer programmer getting the code key for a prototype weapon that was stolen by terrorists. The terrorists need the key to set off the weapon and so the chase is on.Low budget film might have been something had the script been better, the directing more imaginative and the performances better modulated. The film is such that it looks good and actually reasonably professional (and trust me I've seen a great deal of bad looking films lately) but there is no clear indication as to whether the film is serious or not. Take for example the scene where star John Clay is grilled by a policeman after bringing someone to the hospital. The dialog is incredibly silly in that its of the Dragnet just the facts style of writing. Adding insult to injury is the performance of the actor playing the cop who seems to be mugging to the camera. Clay isn't much better since he seems to be reacting to a scene that is playing in his head and not what is going on in front of him. I wasn't sure if I was suppose to laugh or feel tension Actually I did neither and reached for the remote in anticipation of needing it for a rapid exit. This is just a silly movie. (Its also a film that feels like its a glorified home movie with all the friends and family being brought in to be part of it).Its a mess.To be honest I think the heading over the title should be changed from "A Clay Brothers Film" to "THE Clay Brothers Film" since I'm not sure that there will be another.
... View MoreI came in to this film knowing it was low budget so keep that in mind when reading this.The Clay Brothers showed promise with better than average cinematography. The final scene on the bridge is a prime example.The plot was a little cliché', but tolerable. The acting for the most part was sub-par, mainly because it was really their first go-round if I heard correctly. John Will Clay showed flashes of brilliance despite the superfluous number of lines he had in each scene.Another bright spot in this film was the villain, Jack Bradford, played by Bret Hopkins. When the film was over, I felt like I would be seeing him in a Sundance movie in the near future.If you want to see future stars in the industry developing watch this film. It's not as bad as the other reviewers say and I think it is in international distribution currently.
... View MoreThe premise of the movie seemed interesting, so I gave it a watch. Unfortunately, the acting was so horrible that I couldn't focus on the movie. This movie will probably stay in my "worst 10" list for a while. Why? The acting is beyond bad - all of the actors exhibit delayed, awkward, or incorrect emotions in almost every scene. It seems like the director/writer couldn't figure out whether they wanted a drama, comedy, or tragedy - so they mixed it all up.It's a really awkward film with bad directing, acting, and plot. Some movies are so bad that they're funny, but this movie is just painful to watch because it's bad but tries to pretend like it's not.In short, it's the first movie we've watched where my fiancé has said "We can turn this off if you want - this is horrible." If you want to see what a movie would be like with no real plot and bad acting and directing, by all means watch this movie. If you want to be entertained, however - stay away.
