Nice Try

Rating: 6/10 (18 January 2008)

Its like you took an original concept too far. I understand the first twenty minutes or so were needed to get us emotionally vested in these characters. I understand you need to set this movie apart from a Hollywood production 'feel' by having it told through the eyes of these characters and the shaking camera, great idea by the way. I even understand why the ending was the way it was. But it fails because you don't know when to let go of a great idea, the shaking camera, and show us a movie and entertain us! I don't need to see a tilted view for the majority of the movie to understand that this character is not a professional camera man. It's annoying. And because our attention span WOULD last more than an hour and twenty something minutes. When the movie was over, it just didn't have any kind of impact and feels empty.
