Bad Film-making Sinks Will Smith's Movie!

Rating: 1/10 (12 January 2008)

It's hard to believe less than 1600 people voted a "1" for this awful movie -- a perfect exercise in Bad Film-making #101.
This movie has no suspense, no fright, no real story, nothing! WHY? Because the director and the cinematographer have trashed it with amateur camera work and bad lighting. The hand-held camera was obviously in the hands of a guy with either St Vitas Dance or bad withdrawal from alcohol or drugs. He can't hold the camera well enough so the audience can grasp what's going on. Besides that, much of the action takes place on sets that are so poorly lighted the audience sees exactly nothing.
Poor Will Smith! He seems to have given a good performance, but nobody can honestly say that, in view of the rotten camera work. I met with Will Smith briefly when he was in NYC at 44th Street to promote this movie. I shook his hand and wished him well (as if he needed it). I hope he gets a better movie next time.
The nitwit director ought to have taken a lesson from "Night of the Living Dead" wherein a REAL movie director created a zombie classic; expending just $20,000 on the entire movie; not millions. Shame on those moviegoers that scored this piece of trash a 10.
