an OK film, but it doesn't deserve the high rating that regional pride has given it

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2007)

I've personally given this a 1, but only to try to compensate for the horde of British that are all voting this as a 9 or 10, simply because it is British.
It's not a bad film, I'd probably give it a 6 though... except for the jiggle game. That drops it to a 4. Unless a film is ground breaking in some fashion, or impressive in some way (and this film is neither, everything here has been done before), an 8+ isn't really the way to go.
Worse, and I simply can not stress this enough, I had to leave the film at the end. The special effects with the "mega-jiggle" cam are so horrid, so terrible, so inane, that I simply could not watch any more. I can only presume that the special effects were so poor, or the acting so inept, that the action scenes needed to be utterly overridden by this new horror.
The jiggle cam horror.
What is it, that makes film makers think viewers come to the cinema, to *not* see any special effect save the jiggle cam? When a car is exploding, when bullets are flying, when a 1 million dollar stunt is occurring, wouldn't it be a good idea to allow the view to actually see what is happening?! I guess not. :/
