Shame

Rating: 4/10 (3 May 2012)

In would have to agree with a fair few reviewers on here and say that the movie does start well, but the last third is painfully clichéd. I'll have to admit that I watched it in bed, very late, and thought I might have dozed off for a bit, so rewound it (showing my age!), but alas, I hadn't missed anything.
For a film that had such promise, it seems quite bizarre and almost self- destructive to water down the last segment into something as utterly hackneyed as what was delivered. The original, The Omega Man, by comparison delivered a much more powerful movie with an unexpected ending, that at least delivered something worthy(ish), despite the awful acting by Charlton Heston.
Such a shame that it failed to deliver on promise.
