Just Isn't Right

Rating: 5/10 (6 June 2000)

Something about this film just doesn't fit. **MAY ALLUDE TO SPOILER** It was a very nice story, and a nice try, but it just didn't fit. I had figured out the secret about halfway through, but I still can't figure out how I got there. It just doesn't piece together.
Another problem with this film, is that the characters were so unbelievable, so disgusting, that I could not relate to a single one of them, therefore missing out on the very important Protagonist/Antagonist concept of filmmaking. I also could not understand how the concept of men beating the life out of one another, then standing up shaking hands, then coming back the next day for more was even remotely believable.
However, what I did like about this film was the filming and production itself. I thought that the shots were outstanding, and the use of light vs. dark techniques were beautifully shot. The overall production was the basis for my giving this film a 5. Other than that, the story just doesn't cut it.
