This steaming pile is without a doubt a festering regret in the otherwise inoffensive life of Bruce Willis. Granted, not exactly a Shakesperean actor but who hasn't been gratuitously entertained by all of his yippie-ky-yay shoot-em-ups? But after being visually assaulted by this rotting roadkill I just have to believe he was hard up for a quick payday. Yes, I suppose it's partly my own fault because the SMART thing would have been to delete it off DVR when one character said to another, "Jeez, Kel, you make me gonna cry." There was simply no way this could have gone anywhere but horribly wrong after that. This "movie" was nothing more than the low-budget bastard love-child of a blasphemous four-way, wherein "Total Recall", "Blade Runner", and "The Island" all had their way with "Westworld" in a dark alley behind a burned out 7-11, resulting in this vile blasphemy against Nature. If anyone tries to get you to watch it, that person is NOT your friend. In fact you should probably just punch them. Don't worry, it'll be justified as self-defense.
... View MoreAbsolute dreck.Forget about how much money you'd spend renting it -- the real cost is you'll never get the 96 minutes of your life back.1. This film is truly awful from top to bottom, in all important respects. The script is terrible, the acting almost uniformly amateurish, and Brian A. Miller's direction is H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E! It's beyond me how someone actually gets PAID to turn in this level of film. And this is his SIXTH directing credit! I don't know why there would be a seventh.2. Why EVER would Bruce Willis do this drivel? He can't possibly need the money, can he? Somebody needs to have a come to-Jesus-talk with him about quick paychecks versus industry/audience respect and career health.3. I can find only two good things about this film: a) it was shot in Mobile, Alabama, so at least the budget dollars stayed in the U.S.; and b) it's a very good reminder of how difficult it is to make a quality film, and gives me new-found appreciation for those that do.There are so, so many better things I could have done with that 96 minutes.
... View MoreIn the future the latest resort is populated by androids which are only there to facilitate the paying guests every fantasy.Sounds like "West World" right? Well sort of, back in the 70's confronted with a similar premise, all the guests wanted to do was gun-sling or partake in a Roman orgy. Things have moved on, so of course here the guests want to kill, rape and brutalize the occupants.To make these fantasies realistic the androids are given personalities and backgrounds, their minds wiped each morning. They exist in a kind of Dante's version of "Ground Hog day."This opens up lots of great opportunities to explore AI, robot rights, the meaning of life, do violent acts encourage violence - or an excuse for a great sci-fi romp.However, the actual story of this film is very, very dull. Shady operatives have to hunt down a rouge android. A painfully stereotypical bitter cop gets involved. Then ten thousand rounds of ammunition get pumped into the scenery, yawn yawn yawn.Well at least no one had the stupid idea to upgrade the android Matrix style. Oh hang on a minute.Good idea but badly executed. Poor acting, lighting, direction, set, story and characters.
... View MoreI watched this movie last night, whilst fresh on my mind I felt it was my service as a movie watcher to warn you about this terrible movie.At 1st I thought the movie had something going for it, after 15 minutes in, it dawned on me that perhaps this movie was perhaps the worst thing I've watched since Mac and Me! I felt though, I had already invested my time and went with it.It's a terrible kinda, sorta, not at all remake of West World which I actually like, but a horrible and, if you will, unrealistic version.Just don't watch,....THERE.......... saved you over an hour of your precious time that you'll never get back...Watch something else instead!
